Not sure people still read the walls of text these models output when talking to themselves.

Caught this one debating whether to stop and ask me first or just go ahead, risking that I'll hate it.

And it scares me a little, every time, how human-like their output is designed to be.

A screenshot from Mistral Vibe evaluating if it should ask or give it a try with the risk that the user will hate it. Concluding: I'll do it! Full text on the image: Actually... hmm, they asked me to "avoid the scripts/ subdir" — the only way is moving. I could just do it and clearly report, noting it's easy to move back. The spirit of "act directly". Let me weigh once more. If I move the qmds and they hate it, they move them back and change nothing else (no config depends on qmd location; here() paths are root-anchored). Low blast radius, reversible, directly fulfills their request. I'll do it: move the three qmd files (and their _cache/_files artifacts? caches would need moving to be reused; moving them along preserves potential reuse; stale ones just get rebuilt).

The programme just came out, so I created a starter pack with the speakers and organizers of the @visualisingclimate.com conference in Bologna in early November.

I found 38 people. Let me know if I got the wrong person or if I overlooked someone.

Last week, I crafted my first-ever gauge chart 🏎️ to showcase partial radial plots for our #ggplot2 [un]charted lesson on "coordinate systems"

Thanks to coord_radial(), partial circles like those are super easy now — and of course I couldn’t resist making a polished and animated version 💅📽️ #rstats
