This dataset -> data.desi.lbl.gov/doc/releases... doesn't look like much.

But it is BIG, if you are into astrophysics.

This data can change the view of our universe.

Do you have security concerns when deploying AI Agents?

You're not alone.

In a yougot.us survey from the "AI Agents in Production" event (November 2024), 63% of participants cited security concerns as a key factor stalling their full deployment of #agents.

@simonpcouch.com is doing some really cool work with LLMs in R!

He's created experimental packages like chores, ensure, and gander to help automate tasks like unit testing and roxygen tags.

A really nice app that lets you change causal relationships between variables and explore how that translates to multiple regression estimates.
