Somehow I have no faith that these changes will be enforced, or appropriately drawn up by parties who actually have the knowledge to do so.

Just want to say, "Copying and pasting Claude responses into Slack or an email directly shifts the burden of comprehension and understanding to everyone else" is something that I don't think I really internalized until you wr

To be fair, there is a different way to get to Mohg. You can talk to Varre at the Rose Church in the Lakes of Liurnia, and he gets you on the quest line that gets you there. You basically have to invade 3 (i think) people's worlds, PvP

I'm lucky enough to be able to send my child to day care where he doesn't get any screen time (obviously), so typically his only time he gets to watch something is when we are out and about, and even then we have a rule of timers

Yup, the advice is geared towards being very conservative, rather than lenient. An example I like to give people is that here in Wisconsin, drinking culture is huge. A friend of mine's father had pancreatic cancer and went to see his d

I think that'd be cool, but I'd say that Claude Code/Codex is often used for this exact thing and they do a decent job of it (at least in my experience with R). Usually once I've kind of wrapped up my model or data work

Not that TIOBE or PyPl are the end all be all, but R was in the Top 10 for the first time since 2020 and PyPl has it at #4. A lot of people use R in 2026, because it's still great for data science work, "tidy" language is sti

In my opinion, RStudio is still the best data science IDE and it's not even close. I've been using Positron a bit more lately just for Claude Code reasons, as I prefer having the pane itself rather than using the terminal, but man

Yeah, once you move onto legitimate business evaluation metrics (where Precision@k or Recall@k don't actually fit your business model without modification), GPTs just seem to suffer without context, and hey, knowing the context is part

I still feel like they are in an incredible position when it comes to AI because of their hardware integration/advantage across all of their devices. I think they see immense value in getting things on-device and not having to rely on

From what I saw in the latest "language" surveys or whatever, R does seemingly seem to be making a slight comeback. I was actually surprised at its place above Ruby, iirc. Again, not that these surveys are the end-all-be-all, but

Yes, I've absolutely noticed this. I feel like I can always tell when something is up when it starts trying to do WAY more things than normal. Like I can give it a few functions and ask for some updates, and it just goes through like 6

Awesome site and speed! My advice from someone who has built recommendation systems: Now comes the hard part! It seems like a lot of the feedback here is that it's operating pretty heavily like a content based system system, which is f

Will echo that one thing that would prevent me from trying this is def the source control. Otherwise it does look pretty slick!

I have also anecdotally noticed it starting to do things consistently that it never used to do. One thing in particular was that even while working on a project where it knows I use OpenAI/Claude/Grok interchangeably through their

As laughable as Apple's efforts have been so far, I think they still have an advantage precisely because of the unified architecture.

I've found his hybrid approach pretty good for the majority of use cases. BM25 (maybe Splade if you want a blend of BOW/Keyword), + Vectors + RRF + re-rank works pretty damn well. The trick that has elevated RAG, at least for my u

I think generally I agree with you that this is a stepping stone towards bigger/potentially more important things......but that doesn't change the fact that they've packaged it to consumers as something that seems like it has

I can't help but see these technologies and think of Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park. My boss sends me complete AI Workslop made with these tools and he goes "Look how wild this is! This is the future" or sends me a youtube vi

And if you still prefer the language of tidyverse, use tidytable and you get the best of both worlds!

This is really a non issue now. R's problem back in the day was that it was really specialized in analysis and interactivity, but a lot of the general purpose stuff that made Python popular is now easily achievable in R and well-develo

I'd love to know what the definition of "publicly available" is, because I'm guessing there's quite a bit of violation of ToS here (regardless of if you believe the info should be scrapeable or not)

I love my Comma 3X. You just need to have the right expectations. I honestly think their motto of "making driving chill" is a really apt description. I use it in traffic and on the interstate almost all the time, and then on more

With you on this one. The Pro's just never fit my ears. I tried all sorts of tips. Foam, silicon, even the ones that fit "into" the ear curve fail and leads to a really inconsistent experience. The regular AirPods work well E

I also really love mine. It has done what it has advertised extremely well, in my opinion. Makes driving chill. I have a '24 Ioniq with HDA2 and it's a night and day difference between Comma's implementation of HDA/LKAS
