Convergent validity right there

Weird that we haven't heard him speak on the phone. how long does it take to train a voice model

We shouldn't be proud of this. It shows we're chumps willing to squeeze more and more work out of our days and nights as the university gives us less and less.

It's not appropriate for cis people to say that trans people are too alarmed, or that certain trans writers are irresponsibly causing trans people to think the sky is falling. I want to take some time in this 🧵 to write personally about how my skies have fallen.

A message for the class of 2026: We need more friction!

I can only assume they were waiting for me to spend my last credit for the cycle

Thieves of joy, these NYT puzzle people are

“I have done all of the things that one is supposed to do to earn a tenure-track position. And I have done approximately 85% of them by typing prompts into a large language model and then moderately editing the output.” 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant 👌🏽 open.substack.com/pub/inprepar...

If you watch one thing today make it this. Absolutely phenomenal debunking of the idea that social media and cell phones are causing a youth mental health crisis, and who that false narrative ultimately serves

Scary stories about teens sell. The data tells a different story. After decades studying adolescent mental health, here's what I found: This isn't an anxious generation. It's a resilient one. Let's start treating them that way. go.ted.com/candiceodgers

The more often you hear something, the more likely you are to believe that it is true. But please, don't believe everything you hear about teens today. Science and how well they are doing, despite the suffering of adults around them, tells a different story.

A new #bmm release is available on #CRAN. With this version, #bmm now covers basic response time models. This release contains three new models plus several usability features. Here's what's in it 🧵 venpopov.com/bmm/ #rstats #bayes #openscience

DOCTOR: "So what seems to be the problem?" PATIENT: "Mmhbbhhggr hhruuh engghhuu." DOCTOR: "I'm sorry I can't understand, but don't worry. Great singer Bob Dylan is in town. Go see his show and no matter what ails you, you'll feel better!" PATIENT (sadly): "Ehg ddnghh m'm Bddnnn."

More gastronomic erasure by the NYT

Tip for junior authors: "Filling a gap" is not a theoretical motivation. Before submitting a paper, ask which theory or model predicts a different pattern from yours. If no rival prediction is at stake, you're likely testing an effect, not a theory. #cogpsyc #AcademicSky🧪

A British friend texted me that PinkPantheress’ dad is a statistician. Stephen G. Walker is a Bayesian. This is our chance to make Bayesian nonparametrics mainstream. Looking at you @isba-bayesian.bsky.social.

"Are we there yet?" "Are we there yet?" "How 'bout now, are we there yet?"

So honored to receive the Glushko prize, and just grateful that @cogscisociety.bsky.social is willing to recognize whatever I’m doing as the study of the “mind” :)

God forbid a guy has hobbies

We may be underestimating the inherent value this administration assigns to wasting people's time and effort, and flaunting how little they think of scientists. Getting reviewers to spend days of volunteer effort just to notoriously discard it fits in with that
