Final session of the Modern Data Science in Python where @richmeister.bsky.social is talking about Great Tables! #positconf

Two virtual sessions through! #positconf

The main take-away consistent across all:

1, You don't need to know everything to start; just enough to start!
2, Domain knowledge + ML/DS tools >> Just ML+AI+DS

oops! The correct #positconf.

After finishing 2 of the 3 modelling talks -- I am so excited to be staying up for these! Loved the talks on DAGs, nowcasting and tidymodels :D

Sitting through a Lasso Text Model one currently.

You: wait-- I thought you were an #rstats person
Me: I am but sometimes you need to learn the Enemy's tactics 😔

Back from lunch for the second half of for the Modern Data Science in Python workshop! #positconf

I'm hoping the workshop room cools down because it is warm in here 😭 (Mid-Atlantic struggles) #positconf

But if you see me feel free to say hi! I am friendly even if I look deeply confused when I run across people #positconf

Break time or telling my east coast body that it's Not Lunch Time it's only 10:47am #positconf

Day 1 of #positconf
Today's aesthetic: accidental corporate goth.
Attending the Modern Data Science in Python because I am trying to become more of a ds polyglot despite #rstats superiority 😤

Hmm… a frequentist ribbon but no Bayesian ribbon. I guess “well, assuming a weakly informative prior and an LKJ(1) prior on the correlation matrix, we fit four chains with MCMC and…” doesn’t fit on a ribbon.

Posit::conf(2026) threads #positconf

Excited to be at #positconf this year! I'm not giving a talk, but find me to talk about realistic geospatial visualization with #rayshader, lots of cool new improvements to 3D rendering and animation in #RStats with #rayrender, and enhancing {targets} workflows with #tarborist! 👋

#positconf #rstats

Anyway, y'all have a little under 36 hrs to pitch why should I attend your #positconf talk 🧐#rstats

Update: yes they had 🤧 #positconf

I am getting dinner! Outside dining! Am slightly concerned that the waiter had forgotten that I'm outside 🥲 #positconf

Sign of aging. I recognize the background music. 🥲 #positconf
