Randomized controlled experiments offer gold-standard insight into cause and effect. The knowledge that informs our most important decisions.

I reflect on the evolving role of data scientists in the age of AI and LLMs. I argue that our core mission remains rigorous measurement, not full-stack development. While AI tools make building easier, the real value comes from defining and evaluating what truly matters. I share why measurement should be led by those closest to the problem and how data scientists can best contribute. Are we losing sight of what makes data science essential in the rush to build with AI?…

AI News:
GitHub’s future has been unclear since Microsoft acquired the coding company in 2018 for $7.5 billion.

AI Tutorial
Build native Android apps in Google AI Studio
Go to https://aistudio.google.com/ and log in.
Navigate to the Build apps section
Select the “Build an Android app” option and enter a natural language description of the app you want to create.
Example: "Create a daily task tracker with local storage" or "Build an app that helps me log my daily workouts and tracks my progress over time."
The agent will generate the app and launch it in the browser-based Android emulator.
You can keep refining and improving it by chatting with Gemini in the chat panel until you get exactly what you're looking for.
Once your Android app is done, you can install it on a physical Android device connected to your computer via USB, publish it to the Play Store, or download the project as a ZIP file.
