Very happy to hear that five members (rousseeuwprize.org/2026/laur…) and the entire core R team (rousseeuwprize.org/2026) have been recognized with the Rousseeuw prize for Statistics. Great day for the R project (r-project.org).
As an experiment, I began a complete rewrite of [CVXR](cvxr.rbind.io) from ground up exploiting [S7] classes in R. See what was accomplished using Claude code:

From Dr. Bryant Lin, Stanford
I'm living in insurance hell!!!
1) I am a Stage 4 Lung Cancer patient and advocate.
2) As a medical school Clinical Professor, I taught a class at Stanford anchored around my own case which was covered widely in the The New York Times, CBS Mornings,

Pilot 1: Why did you cutoff?
Pilot 2: I didn't.
This is the control which the pilots have, it has to be pulled with effort to cut off the supply, When Pilot 1 asks why did he cutoff fuel supply. And the other answers he didn't, then clearly there wasn't a visible proof of the switches being manually activated. Coz there are just two people.
Air crashes are unique. It's a dead pilot who cant defend himself vs a billion dollar Global entity with all the PR power.
