We should never have let Bayesian inference go mainstream

Just got an email from a 12 year old girl asking for #rstats help. Might need to take a couple of days off while I weep in joy

Dear LinkedIn,
I will never try to write my posts using AI, for the same reason I don't use a robot to hug my children for me
Love,
A human being

omg I hate data. there is no point in cleaning data. data is inherently unclean and it must all be eliminated. I will not be taking questions at this time.

I regret to inform you that I have written another blog post. Was it a good idea? Probably not. But it's done now and there's nothing any of us can do about it.

This seems exactly correct. I make computational art, and I write about the same technical topics that LLMs aren’t terrible at. But I genuinely don’t think I’m losing my audience to the latest gpt model. It’s not my skill as a coder or an artist that makes people care about my work, it’s the connection between the author and the audience that makes it work. I’m not stackoverflow, I’m a human being who shows herself in her work

For the first time in a long while, I wrote a thing. Possibly pretty reckless of me to do so, but if you’re interested in making tables of descriptive statistics using concise #rstats syntax, the table1 package might be a good choice

At long last I think I have an actual criticism of mastodon. I do like it here, but of late I’ve been feeling like if you’re not posting about programming then you’re not really part of the community. Normally I post about code quite a bit, but haven’t really been in the mood lately, and as a consequence I’ve started feeling like I’m not “really” doing mastodon right. Like, maybe we’re just a tech community, and not a general social media site?
