Despite one of my huskies sometimes using it as a pillow, I am loving Knowing What We Know by @simonwwriter.

Loved this article by my favorite writer @simonwwriter. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

@simonwwriter So excited for this!

My new book, KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW: The Transmission of #Knowledge, from Ancient Wisdom to Modern Magic, is coming out in the US on April 25th, and in the UK, Australia and NZ a little later. Much scrambling here to get in details about #ChatGPT, this late-breaking change-agent.

@simonwwriter Exciting! Can’t wait to read it!

First glimpse of the new book - copies arrived just moments ago! Due out here in the US and Canada at the end of April, a little later with a very different jacket in the UK, Australia and NZ. For me, the excitement starts to build!

@Modesto_Escobar I’ve got a quick question, I can’t get the function shiny_rd3 to work in a published shiny app, but it works when I test it locally. Any chance you could help?

@LucyStats @rdpeng I really enjoyed the chat! More please!

Wrote a blog post about my first week of the #SDS99 challenge. matthewaellis.com/Papers/First_W… Looking forward to digging into Tableau! Thanks @kirill_eremenko

@JonKrohnLearns Do you know of any resources/blogs focused on converting historical data in analog formats into machine readable formats? I’m leaning towards a data wrangling path. I’m currently converting a 1930s mugshot book into a dataset to explore crime statistics.

@archivalmatt Happy to help! Advice on anything in particular??

I’ve been dabbling in R for a while now, but now I really want to hone my skills and become an expert. So, I just started the #SDS99 challenge! Any advice @JonKrohnLearns ?

Good article about what is needed in the Open Data space: fedscoop.com/new-report-ali…

@FILWD I found this article interesting: computing.co.uk/sponsored/4030…

Are there any interesting reads on what makes open-source software projects successful?

Just picked up “Why We’re Polarized” by @ezraklein, excited to dig into it.

@NeuroStats @hspter @NSSDeviations Yes!! Thank you!!!

@archivalmatt @hspter @NSSDeviations Was it Hamming's "You and Your research" by any chance?

Howdy @hspter, I am trying to remember a blog post you recommended on @NSSDeviations. It was about doing good research, like rules for doing good research. I can’t find it again in the show notes and I can’t remember what episode it was in. Do you by the off chance remember?

Still time to join our book club for our next episode!!

Just picked up How Design Makes the World by Scott Berkun. Excited to dig into it! Thanks @NSSDeviations for the recommendation!

Excited to find out who won the #fiscalfallout contest. With the annual deficit ballooning and the thought that total debt held by the public might eclipse the economy, it will be comforting to hear from the passionate people working on this policy problem.
