i suppose that's my cue to repost this new york times photo of jonathan haidt standing in the middle of an abandoned playground that i think about all the time

this man looks like he’s interrupting his own crime scene

In France, if you want to build a home above a certain size, you’re legally required to use a licensed architect.

Can you guess what that size is

Used to think no one should perform statistical inference before they've studied its theory.

But its theory is so confusing and counterintuitive that now I think they can only use it exactly because they haven't studied it. Doing so quickly erases any willingness to perform inference on real data.

Love uuuuu!

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband! 🎂 🎊 💕 @chapmanresearch.bsky.social

The brains have fallen out of these folks’ heads. I swear. So much to object to and laugh at in just three posts!

we’d be better off without your opinion.

I went down a rabbit hole on DPI scaling a few years ago…not my happiest moment.

Absolutely insane to me they (windows) never fixed this problem, or developed some quick solution. I switched my OS instead of finding a workaround 🤣

are you a giant nerd who wants to know what past temperatures and precipitation totals are compatible with tree ring based drought atlases? Me too!

Box 1 — Implications of intractability

I had a realisation

Context: In our Reclaiming AI paper we argued that AI systems cannot scale up to human-level cognition without consuming astronomical amounts of resources

My realisation: The AI industry is determined to burn through the earth’s resources just to prove us right *empirically*

convinced google will never improve workspace. Embarrassing stuff. I really hate when I have to use it for projects.

Policy Resources for Addressing Climate Adaptation Funding Barriers Experienced by Northwest Coastal Tribes | Climate Impacts Group Project BackgroundBeginning in late 2024, the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative’s Tribal Coastal Resilience Project, a partnership of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, University of...

Excited to release a new suite of policy tools and resources to help address funding barriers to Tribal climate adaptation and resilience efforts.

These resources were developed in response to adaptation barriers identified by NW coastal Tribes but will likely be useful to many Tribal nations. 1/

“The purpose behind the release of herbicide on the villages remains unclear.”

Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it.

The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

This is correct

even very highly related fields! It makes any widespread policy making attempts very difficult.

this is slander against New England drinking culture

This makes me think, the similar lack of resolution and desire to classify distinct issues and processes under broad and uninformative category labels prevalent in metascience may be inherited from psychology, given its central role in driving metascience agenda from the getgo.

In the case of statistical meta-science, if your toy model predicts a certain curve under "ideal" research practices, and you find a different curve, it's possible that the curve derived from undergraduate probability has nothing to do with scientific practice.

New Converge today. Hell yeah.

some definitely do this, and engage in good faith. but the vocal minority causes problems for everyone.

this stuff is hard, I get it. but maybe think through more angles beyond scientific expediency.

It’s funny how many grand notions of systematization and efficiency in metascience utterly collapse at the first complicated real world hurdle.

Great thread.
