But like, how likely is that when AI is mostly in the hands of the hegemony and the oppressor, and can be shaped to silence those "seeds"? I'm not saying the positive stuff can't happen, but it just sounds a bit naive to me.

New blog post about R4.6 #rstats

Of course! May I ask how those categories have been developed? I'm very curious.
In “Six Memos for the Next Millenium”, Italo Calvino distilled six literary virtues he felt should endure regardless of how the world changed.
As we enter an age of automated evaluation & production of science, what are the parallel epstemic virtues we should try to preserve? We want your input! 🧵
This is very cool and I'm absolutely going to bother everyone around me with it
I now have a primitive interactive browser interface to the workflow graph. I can get this to support an interactive design mode I think.
I just want to say, and let me be very clear so that no one misunderstands: javascript f'ing sucks.
Copyrighting grey zone, attack on human labor, narrative of tech primacy
Some interesting comments on that page as well, worth a look
"The publishers are – so to speak – having their cake whilst also eating it."
[R]eflecting on the harms of AI is not itself harm reduction. It may even contribute to rationalizing, normalizing, and enabling harm. Critical reflection without appropriate action is thus quintessentially critical washing. Marcela Suárez et al. (2025, par. 7)."
And to be clear I have yet to switch to GitHub alternatives fully, I have so much of my work on GitHub that it would take time, but I do need to put my money where my mouth is eventually! I also thought I'd start where I have an audience to discuss these questions with.
From the point of view of teaching what a remote is, there's no difference, its simpler even. Sure, GitHub has more visibility, but it's more important to show that there are other choices.
(The workshop title still has GitHub in it as I submitted it way before Microsoft's recent announcements)
Check out codeberg, the privacy focused and open source alternative to GitHub built on @forgejo.bsky.social , here: codeberg.org
I'm teaching git again this year at @csee-scee.bsky.social's 2026 meeting in Toronto. Motivated by the recent announcements on Copilot training, this will be my first time teaching an alternative for remote storage: Codeberg!
This below is just another example of the slop we shouldn't accept.
I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED
"The uncritical adoption of AI can lead to students not developing essential academic skills such as critical thinking and writing."

Do you mean gitlab as a service or self hosted?
I reckon I interpreted some of the disruption oriented questions as "revolution against oppression" instead of "disruption of the status quo"
First thing that comes to mind is: could it be a new fun way to teach R?
The existential crisis field to unite all existential-crisis having researchers!
@science.org should have higher standards than this unserious, click bait op-ed.
"The Grad Student Who Never Said 'No'" was a blog post by Brian Wansink in which he praised a grad student for coming up with new ways to reanalyze the data. This attracted quite a bit of attention which eventually led to Wansink's downfall: www.npr.org/sections/the...
It's only p-hacking when it comes from the p-region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling deep data dives.
filter_out is so simple of an upgrade but so nice for readability
Well, I'd challenge the claim that biology has consistently better practices in that regard. The requirements for raw data and script are also quite loose, journal and sub-field dependent (although it's getting better!). You're pointing to an inter-disciplinary replication crisis, really!
A super useful and comprehensive summary!
#ReproducibleCode
Of course you did! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andrew. I love your blog!
