Hola mundo, 🧵 para anunciar la creación de un paquete para R que facilita la obtención de datos de ejecución presupuestal de las entidades públicas peruanas. Aquí explico cómo usarlo ⬇️ #rstats, #r4ds_es
Pro tip, use sha pinning for GitHub actions. NEVER rely on the tag since they are mutable. It means nothing. blog.rafaelgss.dev/why-you-should…
Today, we're shipping a series of features that move uv beyond a pip alternative, and into an end-to-end solution for managing Python projects, command-line tools, single-file scripts, and even Python itself. A single, unified tool. Like Cargo, for Python. It's very fast.
so a couple days ago i made a shitpost about tipping chatgpt, and someone replied "huh would this actually help performance" so i decided to test it and IT ACTUALLY WORKS WTF
This is beautiful
In 2020, I solved a gnarly reverse engineering challenge in PlaidCTF. Only 9 teams solved. It's a huge pile of Typescript. Everything is named after a fish. The catch? There's no code, only types. How do they perform computation using just the type system? (Spoiler: Circuits!)
Oh wow, a popular GitHub Action (tj-actions/changed-files) was fully compromised. Someone committed a base64-encoded payload that runs a script that in turn prints out encoded secrets… Stay safe out there!

remember the GPT Store? a few months ago there was some excitement around "prompt app stores", where gifted prompt-writers could make money by writing magical system prompts and packaging them as "apps" our new research shows these prompts can be easily recovered by just asking…
genuinely shocking to me that study after study shows that social scientists are no better than regular people at high-level social science predictions: whether studies will replicate, which "nudge" interventions work, how social attitudes will change a thread of examples:
This site is awesome. Leetcode style problems for Machine Learning algos.
Por favor firmar esta petición. La situación del Archivo General de la Nación es crítica. Se está poniendo en peligro el repositorio histórico más importante del Perú con este traslado mal planificado a un local completamente inadecuado. change.org/p/grave-situac…
Hermoso
From an Idea to Rewriting Ancient History in Under a Year Earlier today, @natfriedman announced that his Vesuvius Challenge - an ML & computer vision contest to solve a massive archaeological mystery - had done it. "The scrolls have been read." So what really happened? 🧵
It looks like the `%||%` operator from `rlang` will come included in R 4.4.0. #rstats #latinr
I am going to say something that is going to sit badly with a lot of academics in US and European institutions, but I’m tenured and senior and I give zero fucks. I’ve read a lot of recent academic scholarship in English language journals that rehashes things Mexican and LatAm

Word is out: Microsoft is plunging ahead on nuclear energy. They want a fleet of reactors powering new data centers. And now they're hiring people from the traditional nuclear industry to get it done. Why? Lack of stable long-term power, whether clean or dirty, is constraining…
Great talk from @JamesHWade at #positconf2023 . please #rstats people contribute to all the amazing packages he talked about with your bug reports, PRs and even just using them
When you finally get all the green checks... #rstats #rpkgs
