Mi primer ejercicio de regresión espacial (finalmente logré q funcionara) y en general bien, pero tenían q haber algunas comunas con unos residuales gigantes -el punto malvado con más de 6 es Quilicura. Pero al menos ya funciona esta cosa.

Lying so brazenly, and with not a single person pointing that, is a feature of fascism. They like that way.

Stagnant Lakatosian research programmes - European Journal for Philosophy of Science We extend Lakatos’s classical dichotomy of research programmes—progressive vs. degenerative—by introducing a neutral third category: the stagnant research programme. First, a critical examination of the primary literature with its often criticized definitional gaps justifies such a category. By deriving general criteria for stagnation, we clearly distinguish stagnant programmes from those that are progressive or degenerative. An empirical cross-check is subsequently employed for support: Both a series of examples from fundamental physics and a general analysis of today’s research landscape also suggest on an empirical level the need to go beyond the traditional Lakatosian conception. Attributing stagnation is entirely in line with Lakatos’ original intentions, which aimed not to hastily discard promising research but to exercise patience until the lifting of certain external constraints potentially enables empirical progress once again.

Stagnant Research Programmes

"There are good reasons why thousands of physicists are still spending their lifetimes on research programmes which, according to Lakatos, can in no way be considered progressive, and in which the occasional empirical problem shift may be forever absent."

THANK YOU. THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY EVERY BILLIONAIRE IS A POLICY FAILURE. IT'S THE INSTABILITY LARGE CONCENTRATIONS OF POWER CREATE. NOT THE LOST REVENUE.

El próximo martes 14 estaré en la Universidad Central para hablar sobre sociología (a propósito de un libro de mi autoría en q me hice la pregunta sobre qué tipo de conocimiento hemos generado). Espero q esté entretenido

Freebeacon spouts dishonest fossil fuel industry propaganda

google summary

The fossil fool fallacy "it was arson, not climate" targets audience bereft of critical thinking, unable to distinguish between what *starts* a fire & what determines magnitude & destructiveness. Google nicely summarizes my past explanations (w/ links): www.google.com/search?q=Mic...

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Masked ICE agents threatened an American citizen, put him into an unmarked van, held him for several hours, and dropped him back off at his workplace, without ever explaining why they abducted him

How many people gonna die because some women laughed at these guys‘ dicks

Just murdering and mutilating some North Korean fisherman to hide our secret bugging mission, no biggie

Well, writing academic papers can be only a route to fame among academics (academics don't write for the general public). Being an 'impresario for academic papers' is a legitimate role -if Yglesias do that well is another matter.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

I agree. But a lot of people falla for that trap.

A lot of times in order to understand people answers you need to remind yourself that a lot of people don't read or understand alternatives literally. It could not be unheard that a lot udnerstood the 'strong leader' part as decisive there.

We could read that as this :'Autocratic democracy' = very strong executive that is chosen in (free) elections. It is not something I could endorse, but it is not contradictory at all.

Honestly, I think a lot of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic got psyoped into viewing salt of the earth bigots as more authentic and worthy than them and thinking therefore they must ritually cleanse their sin of education by rolling in the gutter.

This is still one of the best primers on the sociology of knowledge. Apropos the recent “history” nature paper. xkcd.com/793/

Listening to a podcast where a well known tech world wannabe fascist calls journalism "nonconsensual invasion of privacy for profit" and thinks that's clever and my goodness does that reveal a lot of how completely brain wormed a bunch of these guys are once they faced a tiny bit of criticism.

One more time, shout out to the very serious people who suggested that RFK had some really good points about public health. No way to have predicted how things would turn out, except to look at his past record and everything he said about vaccines.

Saben porqué la derecha no ha hecho escándalo por la banda de 41 detenidos en Temuco por estafa y lavado de activos que poseía autos McLaren con valor sobre los $100.000.000,un Tesla,casi 30 autos de lujo,una lancha y un avión?, porque uno de sus líderes es Republicano,no Mapuche

In my country today there are people who are wondering if the Resistance had a real military impact on the course of the war. For my generation this question is irrelevant: we immediately understood the moral and psychological meaning of the Resistance. For us it was a point of pride to know that we Europeans did not wait passively for liberation. And for the young Americans who were paying with their blood for our restored freedom it meant something to know that behind the firing lines there were Europeans paying their own debt in advance.

I never thought I would be spending my time explaining the scientific method to one of the most well funded research institutions in the history of humanity, but here we are.

But it was so uplifting to see so many brilliant scientists provide context to every point in this thing. You guys rock.

One of the main uses of conferences to me is that they allow me to keep track of new work that I can teach. This is probably obvious, but for some reason I'm only now reflecting on how high a proportion of the value I derive from them comes from this.

But there's no denying that at this very moment we're experiencing life under authoritarianism: people having to measure what they say and in front of whom, secret police snatching people into vans, president completely unconstrained by Congress -- this is the real deal...

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now
