Hi, I’m here today to tell you that the movie The Sheep Detectives is actually excellent?

I need to use this data set for our #rstats onboarding at work
Did a little Love Island analysis inspired by Isabel Zimmerman recent post! I looked at all the times in the UK version we had 2 sets of men/women that had all coupled up with each other at one point or another emilhvitfeldt.com/post/love-is...
I cannot get cursor to run #rstats. Is there anyone out there that has an idiot proof guide that can help me?
A huge release for the data science nerds!
The dream dplyr update for my data cleaning pipelines 😍 filter_out() is going to be SO nice, no longer will I need to wrangle with annoying is.na() conditions replace_values() and recode_values() also going to be a dream too, go read the post! #rstats
Oh finance risk and climate risk, looks like a banger of a paper
🚨Our new paper led by Dr. @zialyle.bsky.social looked at how climate change poses risks to US drinking water utilities & if their bonds disclose these risks to investors. Utilities serving 67 million people have high risks, but 36% of their bonds don't mention climate: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I’m looking to hire a summer intern that’s interested in #climateris!. If you like natural hazards, finance, and tech this is a great team to be on careers.moodys.com/insurance-ad...
I’ve been using edit mode for my #rstats code in position over the last week. Honestly, it feels like magic.
#CLIMATERISK JOBS Moody’s RMS has opened up hiring for a bunch of entry level roles in London, NYC and Edinburgh. These are positions across our model development, customer success (my org), and data science teams. If you are a grad or soon to be grad looking for work this could be for you!
I remembered seeing this and it came in so clutch cleaning up data that had a number of different data versions in it #rstats
dplyr::rows_update() and dplyr::rows_patch() continue to be super helpful functions when you want to fill missing data with data collected from another source. #rstats More examples: cghlewis.github.io/data-wrangli...
A cool job for the climate-data-finance nerds
Hey data nerds! I've made a lateral move and my old role is open for applications. It's a data science leader role in home insurance (industry experience strongly preferred). Hybrid in the listed locations. Take a look! #RStats #python #dataScience thehartford.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Career...
Looks like Apache Sedona has been democratised for smaller datasets and local analyses. Looking forward to making my #rstats code go brrrr 🔥 sedona.apache.org/latest/blog/...

When the world's biggest insurer says climate change has pushed traditional home insurance to its limits, it's already too late to start preparing. And we are in no way ready for a post-insurance world. Gift link to my column for @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
Home Insurance as You Know It Is Doomed. You’re Not Ready.
The remedies for homeowners so far aren’t preparing them for a financially stable existence as the risk of disaster increases.

I will unfortunately not be able to make this years @climateproof.news happy hour due to pre-existing commitments but you should if you are a #climaterisk professional! luma.com/p1w9klj2

Very cool paper! Happy to see stuff like this make it to the academic journals
What if companies disclosed climate risk the same way insurers analyze it: with event-based probabilistic models that show what could happen, when, and with what likelihood? Check out our new paper in Environmental Research: Climate to learn more! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
New York climate week is on the horizon. Does anyone have any good #climaterisk sessions they can recommend?
I’m a big fan of #rstats but I am jealous of all the tools that are built python first.
I seem to be unable to open csvs or parquets using positron directly from file explorer with the “open with” function. Anyone else having this issue #rstats
#rstats has anyone added a new provider to ellmer? I see that it’s doable but I’m hoping to see if someone has blazed that trail for me and I can follow in their footsteps steps.
The “orange line is a climate risk scenario, indicating a recession which would be roughly twice as bad as the euro crisis, in line with the peak-to-trough in 2008-9 and only exceeded by the COVID-19 shock”. #climaterisk www.ft.com/content/79fc...

But is anyone listening?

That’s enough posts on how to speed up r for now. More nat cat musings to come!
Another #rstats gis hack: I’ve been trying to take a 2.5 mil spatial points, buffer them, and then union the buffers into one shape. Turns out if you just order those points by lat, lon you can cut down run time required by st_union() from 6.5 hours to just 5 minutes!! 🏎️🏎️
For the #rstats peeps: are there any packages/paradigms for multi agent systems? Python has things like langchain, do we have anything similar?
