The following statement in R: list(a = 1, b = 2) Is closest to which statement in Python:

The answer to this one is the second selection, {"a" : 1, "b" : 2} for at least two reasons. First, the R code creates a named list, whose elements can be accessed via the double-bracket operator and the element name or via the dollar operator. list(a = 1, b = 2)[['a']] list(a =

In Julia, the statement [1, 2, 3] Is most similar to which of the following statements in R: A. c(1, 2, 3) B. list(1, 2, 3) #JuliaLang #RStats

Julia's representation of vectors is a little bit different than either Python or R. It is true that the Julia statement: [1, 2, 3] is most like a R's c(1, 2, 3). It is also true that you can perform vector operations including: [1, 2, 3] + [1, 2, 3] [1, 2, 3] .+ 1 # to add 1

"You insist that there is something a machine cannot do. If you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine that will do just that!" -- John von Neumann [emphasis added]

AI coding replacing programmers is the modern version of calculators replacing mathematicians.

Remember when IT automation was a simpler time? A time when we just wrote a Bash or Perl script and let cron jobs handle the rest. Now, we've traded that simplicity for a vast landscape of tools, and a new kind of complexity has emerged and laughs at us.

torch for #rstats v0.16.0 is now on CRAN. Main change is upgrading to libtorch 2.7, so we can support CUDA 12.8. See release notes in github.com/mlverse/torch/…
