Hoy se celebra el Día Pi al ser 14 de marzo (es decir, 14/3 o 3/14 para los estadounidenses 🙃 )
También se celebra el Día Internacional de las Matemáticas.
Así que celebrémoslo con una simulación mítica ya: cómo aproximar el valor del número Pi simplemente tirando bolitas dentro de un cuadrado 👇
Data labelling in R!

Why are people across the world having fewer children, and can immigration solve the workforce problem this creates?

In this edition of the @posit.co AI Newsletter, we share about new LLM features in RStudio, some vibe checks on the new GPT 5.4 / Qwen3.5 / Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite releases, and an overview of the Anthropic / Pentagon saga.

I love me some Bluesky, but I can't help feeling this place has largely died as a forum for economists. Meanwhile it seems like econ discussion on the other site has made a comeback. How are others feeling about this?
We had a #DSLab walking through using the {mall} pkg + {ellmer} in #rstats (& chatlas in #python) to process text columns in a dataframe with LLMs. This is something I find super helpful, esp when the task is tedious, big, & only needs to be done once, then reviewed.

"We used a very common statistical procedure and applied functions from standard R packages" really is not a reason for not publishing the code.

Over the weekend, I started collecting/organizing a list of cool #rstats skills for LLMs at github.com/christopherk.... Please open an issue or PR in any awesome additions you see!
Includes a section for helpful posts like @ivelasq3.bsky.social's⬇️
I rounded up a few Claude Skills for #RStats users.
Huge thanks to the creators who developed them. They share Skills for everything from tidyverse code to brand.yml files to learning while using AI.
Hope the list is useful, and please let me know what I missed! 🧡

Alright class, #rstats #dataabs, a question, and this will be on your exam:
Code quality, in particular readability, and the management of complexity is *much* more important in data analysis than software engineering in general. Why?
Hey R and Python folks at #NICAR26 looking at coding agents for data analysis: Databot from Posit (formerly RStudio) is another option. It's an assistant for the Positron IDE specifically designed for data work.
