Am I the only one that on the very limited number of occasions where I've used ChatGTP cannot resist the urge to insult it because it is often thick and does NOT give you the right answers?...
(It is of course possible that I'm not asking the right question --- garbage in/garbage out and all that... But I'm pretty sure I've done my part right and it has done its very, very poorly...)

First-come/first-serve, so hurry up!
I'm having troubles using mybinder.org. It seems to be down (or stuck anyway...). The home page times out and fails to load and NO container manages to load up either... I have used it in the past (and managed to navigate my way around what I needed to do), but I can't seem to understand what's happening now... Anyone can help?

One of the possible definitions for hell. But very decent single espresso, actually...
We're excited and grateful that @RConsortium has named R-Universe their newest top-level project! This means sustained support for @rOpenSci's platform for discovery and publishing of R packages. We've got big plans ahead, especially to support building large, collaborative repositories on top of R-Universe.
All praise to @jeroenooms, R-Universe's lead developer, who will also join the Consortium's Infrastructure Steering Committee.

So exciting that we're sending the final version of our R in HTA book to the publisher!
Hopefully very soon available online (for free) too!
