When this notification first popped up I was vaguely annoyed someone would go to the trouble to correct this. Then I saw the account name and cracked up. 🤣
Thanks for the new knowledge, TIL!
Hadley Wickham stands behind a podium that says "Cal Poly College of Engineering" and in front of a slide showing a man trying to push a robot genie back into a lamp.
Pretty dang rad way for us to kick off Spring Quarter!!!
Thanks, @hadley.nz , for making the trek to SLO and giving a wonderful talk and thoughtful answers to our questions! 🥰
And thanks to the @calpolyslo.bsky.social Noyce School of Applied Computing for sponsoring this great event!
Haha you're good, I just didn't want to boost their name recognition, I wasn't worried about summoning them.
The owner vocally and financially supports the fascist regime in the US.
Oh yay, thank you, I will try them! 🥰
but... but... the tessellation! 😩
Hey #rstats fam, what non-evil hex sticker printer are we using these days?
I've tried a few alternatives to "that other one" (🐴) in the past but haven't liked them because:
- I want die cut, not sheets.
- I want pointy hexagons not roundy ones.
This is all getting too complicated, the point was to de-complicate my grading.
final_grades <- sample(c("A","F"), size = 87, replace = TRUE, prob = c(0.9, 0.1))
Hitting that end-of-quarter point where I just wanna
final_grades <- runif(n = 87, min = 70, max = 100)
If I had a dollar for every student who tried to calculate test or cross-validated AIC/BIC.... 😬
Oh good point, I was thinking only regression settings, but I guess there are models that could land more *underfit* than guessing the mean value and that would end up negative R2.
Would have to be a pretty awful model though. 😋
I had a secondary AIM handle that involved my crush's name (I mean, who didn't?) so I guess I should be grateful that one didn't get attached to my professional youtube account?
Also to be fair, using 2000 in may name was very cool and edgy in 1999. 😆
Oh geez okay so the story with SuperKrazy2000 is that I chose that as my AIM handle when I was 10 years old.
At some point AOL and YouTube somehow merged, I guess?
Then when I put lecture videos on YT during Covid, my students were like uhhhh so what's with the account name???
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
If you want to go down a rabbit hole of pain, look into tf-idf in sklearn. You will find that it secretly adds one to all word counts, and this is not wrapped in a changeable argument, it is buried in the fabric of the code.
Test or training r2 though?
Not sure what you're seeing but I see it at 10....
Dude sklearn has some very weird hidden defaults and adjustments. 😩
(That said, test R-squared *can* be negative, in very overfit situations.)
This is me but tupperware.... and it's not always accidental... 😬
Interesting!
Since python is used in broader applications than R, I wouldn't have expected them to be so correlated.
Yes but this month our random number generator is winning and therefore we must feel superior, have you learned nothing from The Sports.
Back in the top 10, baby!
Eat your heart out, "#rstats is dying" thinkpieces. 😜

I love all of this take.
Also "frustration tolerance" is a wonderful turn of phrase, and it sounds less intimidating than the one we often use in Education, "productive struggle".
Screenshot of an item in the new R-devel release, that says: x %notin% table newly in base is an idiom for !(x %in% table) and provided almost entirely for convenience and code readability, from an R-devel suggestion, after many years of private definitions mostly hidden in packages, including in R's tools package.
%notin% is coming to Base R! Heck to the yes.
We are truly blessed on this day, thank you R Core. 🤩
#rstats
Oh clever, I didn't think of a custom YAML, let me experiment and see if the listing exclude can detect this.
If not, then I guess tagging all the R ones and listing only those is a pretty clean approach.
Thank you, this is perfect!
I might see if I can figure out an exclude instead of include version but this will totally solve my problem easily if not.
You rock!
#quarto blog + RSS question: Is there a way to exclude a post from the automatic RSS feed?
(Specifically, I want to occasionally put non-R content on my blog but I don't want it to spam to the people who follow for R only...)
Gracias in advance hivemind! 🙏
Almost everyone says "pand-az", as in, many panda bears. But I say "pan-dass" like Pallas Athena or something, and apparently Wes did too when he first made it!
I have to admit that "many pandas" makes more sense. I think my brain couldn't handle a package name being plural.
Potentially. I'm curious how well AI would do if given JUST the standard documentation of a brand-new tool. If that tool was a package in an existing architecture, maybe it would be able to infer enough from context.
(I think the package you are thinking of is called btw, by @simonpcouch.com )
