palaeoverse is a community-driven R package of generic functions to help streamline palaeobiological analyses and improve code readability and reproducibility. This is our last version before a major refactor in Autumn, supported by funding from the @softwaresaved.bsky.social.
But seriously, I thought this might be a fun modelling project because Hermes bags have this sort of combinatorial naming scheme: model x size x colour x leather x hardware
I'm excited to announce a long overdue update to {tidyclust}! This release brings support for 3 new model types: DBSCAN, Gaussian mixture, and mean shift models.
We also now support parallel processing with {future} and {mirai}

Ask a bare LLM to multiply two big numbers and it'll confidently get it wrong. But ask an LLM on the web and it gets it right. What's the difference? In my latest post, I dig further into the harness, what it can do and why it matters: open.substack.com/pub/tidydesi...
I want to publicly thank @jcheng5.bsky.social for being willing to write this post, laying out how our AI tooling has evolved (including those eyebrow-raising product names)! 😅

Last week we precisely defined an agent: an LLM, in a harness, that calls tools repeatedly in a loop. This week we'll fix a few deliberate simplifications and explore the consequences of the harness i...

What we learned from Positron Assistant and Databot
tidyclust 0.3.0 is now on CRAN. This release adds support for DBSCAN, Gaussian Mixtures, and Mean Shift Models, plus closer alignment with the tidymodels framework.
Posit is committed to supporting the open-source community through conferences, community events, and educational initiatives. The wide adoption of open-source tools depends on the people who organize...
