Is there a difference between using AI to learn a subject and using it to learn the AI? Vibe-coding a side project is a superpower. Vibe-coding your coursework is a shortcut that bypasses learning. Part 2: chendaniely.github.io/posts/2026/2... #EduSky #AcademicSky #AI

Incorporating AI in the Classroom: Using AI to Learn, and Learning the AI – Daniel Chen

There are 2 things I want students to get out of AI in class: using AI to learn something, and just doing stuff to learn the AI.

Agent did my live coding reviews in my classroom. Manual: reviewed each command. Plan: giant wall of text. Auto: did what I told it to do, wrong place. Specifying what to skip matters. chendaniely.github.io/posts/2026/2... #AI #datascience

Incorporating AI in the Classroom: Reviewing with an Agent Harness – Daniel Chen

In my first month teaching with AI, an agent did the typing in my review sessions while the class read and judged its commands.

That's a wrap, #PyConUS! I loved all the conversational talks, documentation writing, and PRS this week. If you missed the #python dashboarding tutorial using Shiny, I have all my materials here: chendaniely.github.io/pycon-2026-s... If you missed it, hopefully I'll catch you at #SciPy in July!

Not sure. they do have the OMOP common data model where they try to standarize all the various hospital codes. Maybe the OHDSI book can help with answering your question? ohdsi.github.io/TheBookOfOhd... They do have a very active community with regular calls. I just don't participate in them.

Chapter 4 The Common Data Model | The Book of OHDSI

A book about the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI). It described the OHDSI community, open standards and open source software.

I'm not that connected with medical data as much these days, but this sounds like something the OHDSI folks have been working on (www.ohdsi.org/data-standar...). I think Athena is their project of mapping all the vocabulary and ontologies that build on top of SNOMED: athena.ohdsi.org/search-terms...

At the #pydata #pydataseattle conference and getting a live StatQuest presentation from Josh Starmer on PCA! On why/how he makes these videos: 1. Be helpful 2. Be curious so you can help others 3. Communicate clearly
