I feel your pain!

Haha. You're an absolute lunatic. Love it!

The more deep learning I do, the more I like logistic regression

This has got to be AI generated word salad, surely, because nobody with basic knowledge of real numbers would even think to write that division of integers can generate irrational numbers.

Well said Samuel! 👏

These little guys are nuts!

I didn't think I could be more impressed by her.

The Author?! 😲

Awww.

Three schematic diagrams. The first illustrates selective publishing of internal resection, the second selective causal focus, and the third selective access and funding for researchers.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

That is gorgeous! And quiet!

Those aren't bagpipes!

"The Government will continue to invest in a broad range of research activities including blue skies, strategic, mission-led, applied, commercialisation and business facing."

"Each pillar will use a mix of tools that can include contestable grants, mission‑led research platforms, strategic capability‑building schemes and infrastructure support."

"Public investment in science will be guided by four pillars of national importance focused around the economy, environment, health and society, and technology."

"A new independent board, Research Funding New Zealand, will bring together multiple decision-makers, including the (MBIE) Science Board and Marsden Fund Council, to make future funding decisions."

Gotcha -- could be worse -- I grew up rural with a party line, shared with all neighbours. We had to know which ring was ours & say "working?" after picking the phone up. ;-P

You still have a landline?

Sure, which is so easily subverted as to be meaningless. This only protects against the most naive of user.

Anyone that thinks email is a secure means of communication is kidding themselves.

I regret to inform you that my lab only wears long-sleeve denim jackets. Best of luck with your future endeavours.

There's a reason why a negative binomial is used to model RNA-seq data rather than a mean value. The people computing IF don't understand this -- and many other things...

I love the RNA journal, but not because of its impact factor!

Fewer papermill pubs slipping through? Also, American date format, or normal?

Shocker.
