On LinkedIn, Juan Pablo Ferreira shared this new R package he's working on. It brings a tidy style approach to survey weight adjustment. It's pipeable and the API is like tidymodels. I'll be checking it out! jpferreira33.github.io/weightflow/

We listened. We reflected. We evolved. Meet RLadies+. A more inclusive identity for our global community. Because belonging matters. 🔗 Read more about the rebrand: rladies.org/news/2026/re...

@sara-altman.bsky.social @simonpcouch.com it's been more than a year since you wrote about local LLMs and the landscape is rapidly changing. Any thoughts on using them now? posit.co/blog/local-m...

Local models are not there (yet)

LLMs that can run on your laptop are not yet capable enough to drive coding agents.

I love R for everything statistics, but I've always been a little jealous of statisticians using SPSS Complex Samples or SAS SURVEYSELECT to design their samples. So I decided to build samplyr, a tidy and pipe-friendly grammar for survey sampling design in #rstats. dickoa.gitlab.io/samplyr/inde...

I'm looking forward to this talk! Thanks for the invite for this great conference
