Emil Hvitfeldt (@emilhvitfeldt.bsky.social; 49/1/5; 2026-06-11): Having a visual component when you are teaching a new concept is always something I value. I went back and redid some old diagrams as animations

This website has all mp4, gif and code for you to use yourself in slides of websites!

Gabor Csardi (@gaborcsardi.org; 37/0/6; 2026-06-11): #Rstats package update: zip 3.0.0 with some very cool new things: password protected zip files, vectorized and concurrent unzip(), unzip over HTTP, progress bars. Full change log at github.com/r-lib/zip/re…


Tyler Morgan-Wall (@tylermw.com; 30/2/2; 2026-06-10): Hurrah🎉🎉🎉! #RStats


Noam Ross (@noamross.net; 26/0/5; 2026-06-11): Extremely proud and excited that @ropensci.org’s community manager @yabellini.bsky.social has been selected for a @sovereign.tech fellowship! It’s a much-deserved recognition of her work making #rstats open to all, and a key endorsement of community-building as a fundamental pillar of open-source.


Posit (@posit.co; 25/0/4; 2026-06-12): Coding agents like Claude Code are great at general-purpose
work. Posit Assistant is built specifically for data: #RStats / #Python session access, plots in the chat, and specialized data analysis capabilities.

Donald Szlosek (@dszlosek.bsky.social; 22/3/3; 2026-06-10): I could not be happier to be a part of this wonderful group as a new co-organizer of the Boston R User Group! I’m excited to help restart this wonderful community along with @rachaeldempsey.bsky.social and @damiepak.bsky.social #rstats #statistics #rstats #boston


Ben Harrap (@bharrap.bsky.social; 21/0/1; 2026-06-14): I needed a way to open PDF files in the RStudio Viewer pane and Claude wasn’t really helping. Figured I’d do my own search and came across this #rstats package {pdfviewer}

Super handy!

Ted Pavlic (he/him/his) (@tedpavlic.bsky.social; 8/3/3; 2026-06-14): Colleagues are often curious about how best to integrate LLM’s into their #Rstats workflow. This guide covers different options from direct integration into #R IDE to keeping #LLM separate. Should apply to #ClaudeCode, #Codex/#ChatGPT, #Gemini CLI, #Copilot, and others.

Jefferson Samillan (@jeffry3012.bsky.social; 4/0/0; 2026-06-12): 🧠 Redes Neuronales en la práctica: ¿mejor que una regresión lineal?
Resultados reales con el dataset Boston Housing:
📉 Regresión lineal → MSE 21.6
🚀 Red Neuronal → MSE 15.7
✅ 27% más precisa
La red neuronal ganó.
