h/t special thanks

@usrbinr.bsky.social - thanks for building out loud & leading by example. I had been procrastinating a CRAN submission but followed your lead. In addition, you answered some of my questions on DM and gave me the extra push I needed.

somewhere on the web (will look in a sec) there is a *larger than memory* analysis from a few years ago. i think it was about NYC taxi rides & i might be wrong but @djnavarro.net wrote it & used parquet

i always need to install finetune after tidymodels, then was thinking about other packages that might not be main characters but important supporting roles lol

plotly, gt,

arrow, qs, mirai, tictoc, slider, collapse,

finetune, probably, bonsai, rules, vip,

fable, modeltime, timetk

I was joking about a version 3 that does not exist. didn't realize F3 is a thing lol 😅 oops.

I typically use the arrow library in R which defaults to version 2 I believe

thank you for your service. I'm learning torch for a similar reason 🤌🏻

I thought you asked about GNNs like 2 months ago, couldn't find anything so just built them? lol

I am *deep* into torch & luz & brulee this week. I kind of like luz, but still need to learn more. right now its just handling the optimizer, metric, hidden layers & epochs. a bit more functional for me
