I was shocked to learn that SQL does the same. Creates a lot of doubt in my mind about SQL as a suitable language for data analytics.

Don't forget the mRNA that Whole Foods is sneaking into all their products. The entire store is basically an mRNA store, and they don't even tell you on the labels.

Every time you read about peptides, think "molecules" instead and see if the text still makes sense:
"The internet loves therapy using molecules. Is it really a miracle cure?"

Btw, insulin is a peptide. If you're a Type I diabetic, this peptide absolutely is a miracle cure. And perfectly safe.

I know several people with dyslexia who have been quite successful in computer science and/or software engineering. I believe dyslexia often coincides with a talent for the kind of abstract thinking you need when devising complex algorithms. Unfortunately career offices don't know this.

I think there's a massive opportunity here for somebody to write the #2 pathtracer in R. 😜

It is very important* that you buy Parmigiano Reggiano and not Grana Padano. Finally people all around the world are going to learn the difference!

Six stories is approximately world-record heigh in trampoline jumping. And you need a team of six to propel you up. I assume those six live on the ground floor.

The quoted article has a section on it. Link should go straight to the correct section.

Python is not a great language for data science. Part 2: Language features
It may be a good language for data science, but it’s not a great one.

AI will absolutely not do this in the way he describes.

We still can’t predict much of anything in biology

I was loving Claude Code... until I tried it with #rstats. Constant errors, wouldn't use the tidyverse even when asked, "optimized" functions were slower.

Frustrated, I started a session just to teach R to Claude and summarize what it learned into a CLAUDE.md file gist.github.com/sj-io/3828d6...

Regarding your comment of AI and R code, somebody here recently posted a long system prompt for Claude that apparently helped a lot. I don't know if I can find it again, just pointing out that the best models definitely know tidyverse, they just don't use it by default.

Sorry, not believable. AI would never put spaces next to an em-dash.
