Anyone interested in a 3 month paid internship in my group at Drug Hunter this summer. Ideally someone with full stack experience (e.g. PERN) and interest in semantic web technologies. Must be US-based. DM me on here if interested.

This will be so useful!
Ollama also gained the ability to work with @hf.co models directly. We added a vignette that shows you how to use it: https://jbgruber.github.io/rollama/articles/hf-gguf.html

Very useful guide!
If you're interested in trying out LLMs in #rstats but don't know where to begin, I've added a few two vignettes to elmer: elmer.tidyverse.org/articles/elm... and elmer.tidyverse.org/articles/pro...

I love some JavaScript! Especially to make Shiny apps even more awesome 🤩.

But I know how daunting it can feel when you’re just getting started with #rshiny.

That’s why I wrote a JavaScript for Shiny Beginner’s Guide—so you can jump in with confidence: hypebright.nl/en/shiny-en/...

Check out the new `pastum` extension for Positron (and VS Code I guess)—it's {datapasta} for Positron! It works with both R (base R, tibble, and data.frame) and Python (pandas and polars) github.com/atsyplenkov/... #rstats #python

A few things I've been working on lately:

elmer, elmer.tidyverse.org, is a new package to make it easier to work with LLMs (hosted and local) from #rstats. It includes helps for structured data extraction and tool calling, and an easy way to upload a plot. Joint work with Joe Cheng.

This taught me that he (and others) weren’t thinking about what problem we were solving (collective sense making of a complex business) and were just following a vendor’s tooling. I lost a lot of respect for a lot of tech folks soon after. This error is pervasive.
