testthat 3.3.0 is here! Major updates for #RStats testing include failure messages for easier debugging, 6 new specific expectations, and the SlowReporter to find your bottlenecks.

Heads Up: R 4.1+ is now required, and old mocking functions are removed.

Often, the first question I get when sharing about Posit's LLM tools is "Will this expose my data?" @sara-altman.bsky.social and I wrote about the trust relationships involved when using our AI tools on the @posit.co blog.

Introducing bluffbench, a new tool to evaluate how well LLMs actually see data plots.

When we trick LLMs with secret #RStats transformations, they can miss the visual contradiction.

bluffbench helps us measure this "blind spot" in AI coding agents. Learn more: posit.co/blog/introdu...

My favorite? Leo Ohyama's: github.com/leoohyama/po... .
