@glennfreeman39 I'm the same person BTW, i.e. circle of doom is my creation.

@thegoodwitchell Yeah I get the same - goes all way to confirming the purchase and then says 'Payment Problem'. Gah!

🚨The special needs system is on the brink of collapse. The government's spending watchdog will publish its own likely damning investigation this week

But we’ve been chronicling the collapse for years. And I just want to set out how seriously bad things are … (mega 🧵)

Has anybody else tried having a dedicated ChatGPT conversation that is optimized just for assistance with R Code? I feel like this initial prompt helps a lot. Thoughts? #RStats #ChatGPT

@JuraWho @danluu Some more for your collection.

@kearneymw LOL my most liked comment ever! To clarify - visit the link I included and give the GitHub issue comment a thumbs up so the developers see people upvoting it.

[Mark Ainsworth @ainsworld]

@kearneymw Give this comment a Like to flag to RStudio developers. https://t.co/R4HGdg24yD

Some pretty dramatic support behind getting GPT integration into RStudio. 3x more than next-most-upvoted issue... @kareem_carr @posit_pbc

@AdultingADHD Meetings. My diary is the way I handle balancing things, and I diarise things for for just me to do with a clear deadline so it activates me.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS.

Please can you help by following us and retweeting this message?

@fchollet Sounds like evolution

@mrjasonbfoster Charging twice/week or more: annoying. Less: acceptable. Andersen's look nicer than anything else regardless, as well as hiding the cable. I'd have got one if we couldn't tuck ours out of sight.
(We had an EO mini before. Currently have an Ohme in order to harness Octopus Go)

There are so many different roles in the data domain. Deciding which role is best for you depends on your preferences.

One dimension you can look at these roles is what percent is spent building infrastructure versus digging into the data to find issues.

It's resolution season and I'm here to offer you unsolicited advice about how to help your data team play a bigger role at your company https://t.co/sMBums4mXg

Incredibly effective use of colour to tell the story of cause and effect in our public services.

Extraordinary set of charts in the FT today. Twelve years of Tory misrule has left us sicker and poorer than our peers. Utterly disastrous.

[Mark Ainsworth @ainsworld]

I use this definition of an Insight for my team: “Information that is new to the recipient, is true, and which once comprehended and accepted is useful to act on.” This chart is essentially the inverse of that, just needs “incomprehensible” and “unbelievable” added.

[Nate Sooter ⛳️ @NateSooter]

It’s been a good run, data folks. Looks like we’ve been found out.

Engineering is orthogonal to the skill of getting things done at large orgs. It’s actually closer to sales — your job is to demonstrate value to those in your way and to get enough momentum to make your project hard to kill.
