So that \lipsum thing was just about contacting customer service for discounts?

In case it wasn’t already obvious, Joel Wilson is likely the worst decision maker over the last two years, based on a signal detection analysis of DRS reviews. That’s him down the bottom in the left panel. #AUSvIND

Yep. And, ugh, Jarrod Berry.

I posted hard copies of manuscripts to journals (always four copies, double spaces, single sided) for years. Well into the 2000s. This was also attributed to the dinosaurs. I guess they got that bit right :) 5/5

Mostly, it made me feel old. I’ve had to put white out on paper and realign the typewriter ball to edit. (And swap the ball repeatedly for math symbols). This was attributed as 1920s behavior. 4/n

The complaint about the x-axis ticks doesn’t make sense to me. Those are the legend from the histogram. That’s as far as I got in the video. I also just didn’t get the argument and am glad I’m not alone. 3/n

My guess is the informationally redundant symmetry helps the visual and cognitive perception on the information (but I have no evidence of this — anyone know of any?). The vertical arrangement avoids visual overlap, unlike the histogram alternative. 2/n

I think aiming to showing distributions of data rather than summaries (even detailed summaries, like box plots) is generally a good goal. Smoothing relies on assumptions and will be as good as those assumptions: it’s possible to make minimal ones by binning. 1/n

We're hiring an Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) at UC Irvine Cognitive Sciences! Focus on higher-order/causal reasoning. Due date Nov 15. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
