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!

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.
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/
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.
absolutely! I would have nervously been waiting for the phone to ring every day lol
During grad school though? I would have died.
not gonna lie these days I actually prefer when people just call me. I think corporate work did that to me because at least for my work it’s the only way to get answers half the time.
A persuasive argument would come from more coders and more task variability. Without it, it’s just a distraction from the main aim of the paper (nhst).
