Oh nothing, just a peer reviewed paper my colleagues found...

"1 mL of the mass killing of an ethnic group was opposed to 20 mL of the skin sample and unprotected to light for 7 min."

Even AI knows what's wrong here, but @elsevierconnect.bsky.social doesn't.

has anyone made it to the top of maslow's pyramid i have a question

rejection wrapped?

"On this day, 29 November, in 1873 Georg Cantor wrote a letter to Richard Dedekind. It contained a question that inaugurated a new mathematical discipline: Set Theory."

This is one of the most remarkable academic debacles I've ever seen.

Dear All, I am delighted to report to you the first results of an experiment that is being conducted in the tea room of this Department. On 29 August, an Oslo Stainless Steel Cutlery Set (48 Pieces: 12 Knifes, 12 Forks, 12 Tea Spoons, 12 Dinner Spoons) was placed in a drawer in the Departmental tea room. A poster asking not to remove the cutlery from the tea room was attached in a visible location. The original research plan was to monitor (in real time) the disappearance of the cutlery from the tea room and then fit a point/counting process model to the observed data. However, as the research project failed to attract any major grants (and so hiring a research assistant to do the work was impossible), it was decided to conduct opportunistic discrete monitoring only. Here is the first result: sixty days in the experiment, the disappearance rates stand as follows: Knives: 8.3% Forks: 100% Tea spoons: 58.3% Dinner spoons: 41.7% Possible conclusions include, but are not limited to, the following: the people who removed the missing cutlery don’t understand written English; they don’t see forks as a special case of cutlery; forks are needed to do some kind of mathematics; the knives from the set are no good; small spoons are slightly more attractive than the large ones; things left in our tea room tend to disappear even if they are not edible; further research is needed to fully understand the phenomenon.

Thought of the day: It is somewhat mysterious why Gaussians remain stable under the particle-minimizing flow (i.e. the Wasserstein gradient flow) for so many widely used energies: entropy, Fisher information, quadratic interaction potentials, functionals depending only on mean and covariance,

Last year, I had a paper rejected after 18 months with the @amjepi.bsky.social.

It's the first time I've had a paper rejected after being invited for revisions. And the first time I've had a paper sent out to completely new reviewers.

It stung so hard that it's taken me a year to look at again.

35 years ago, on October 3, 1990, Germany was reunified. Just two months later, voters in the former GDR went to the polls in the first free federal election since the Weimar era. Despite decades of socialist dictatorship, East German voting behavior displayed marked regional differences. Thread🧵

My Bayesian Data Analysis course at Aalto is starting in 20mins. There are now 375 registered students, but as the course is not compulsory for most, I expect about 230 students to finish it. All the course material is available online at avehtari.github.io/BDA_course_A...
