Whenever I read discourse on AI energy/water use that focuses on the "median query," I can't help but feel misled. Coding agents like Claude Code send hundreds of longer-than-median queries every session, and I run dozens of sessions a day.

I have to say that it's very helpful to see the "tidymodels way" to build R packages using Python libraries. Thanks.

Anyone binding chronos or moirai to R? 🧙🏻

Messing with this all day & just had a great out-of-sample prediction 🙌🏻

It works well if you split-apply-combine.

Check it out!

What I thought was only a @topepo.bsky.social experiment, has now moved under tidymodels:

Prior-Data Fitted Network Foundational Model for Tabular Data
R functions are used via Python to train and predict TabPFN models of Hollmann et al (2025) "Accurate predictions on small data with a tabular foundation model," Nature, 637(8045) <doi:10.1038/s41586-...

Alrighty survived week 1, week 2 is underway.

Opening up the ol "Dashboards with Shiny for Python" quarto documentation🤞🏻

Didn't really factor in the fact a challenge may require creating a shiny app 😅
This is the second year my team has put together an internal facing Advent Of Code!!

It is a data wrangling & tabular focused AOC.

The twist, this year my submissions will be in Python instead of R 🐍

A new release of chores is now on #rstats CRAN!

There are now some LLMs tiny enough to run on a laptop that are capable of powering chores helpers. Here's a real-time demo with a model running on my Macbook.

First year my main is a linux + nvidia laptop & I finally had to honor of purging & reinstalling a major GPU nvidia driver issue. 😬

I cannot figure this stuff out on my own at all.

While we critic everyday AI code, LLMs walked me through the whole process of the fix which was awesome.

Honored to have my code in here
