Having a home server sounds like a better idea every day

My farmework desktop arrives this Friday. 🎉

If this is turning into a battle, then the researchers’ possible counter is to normalize updating preprints and CVs with “accepted at journal x” as sufficient for getting publication credit and not pay the fees.

Pebble brought a friend to snatch up the cat food. Adorable.

AI safety anyone?

Dear health data folks, what are some best practices for managing a monorepo in a team with various levels of technical expertise? #analytics #stats #datascience #python #sql

Here's an unsolicited reminder to critically think about the age of a reference in your research. Avoid the bias of chronocentrism, that the present is ALWAYS better than the past. Just because an article is old (like from the "1900's") does not inherently affect the quality of the findings.

@academic-chatter.bsky.social when doing peer review, do you validate every reference used by the authors?

"Okay, so" The verbal equivalent to a paragraph break and indent.

Halfway through 2025. What keywords would you tag this year with so far? tariffs, switch 2, DOGE, NIH funding cuts 🤞Hope to add Artemis II to the list

I have a statistics joke, but I'm not entirely confident in its posterior probability of being funny

Finally found a home for a manuscript of my dissertation research. It only took 14 months of getting rejected!

Hoping for remakes or mods of classic games as "talkies" now with the advancements of voice models. Chrono Trigger, FF7, Kings Quest 6, Super Mario RPG, etc

ALDI officially announced that due to inflation and tariffs, carts are now unlocked by dollar bills. #satire

Dear tech hype posters, starting this year you are only allowed 1 post that includes the phrase "this is a game changer" and it should be reserved for tools that assist with game selection on consoles or game stores.

I don't like to say "on a {time period + ly} basis". Not sure why we add a bunch of words. "They check our papers on an hourly basis" can be stated "they check our papers hourly"

Please post dad-joke ways of going to the bathroom. I'll start: Taking the #2 train to Bowlsville It makes my daughter laugh. I love hearing my daughter laugh.

C-market prices are so high compared to the last two years. Expect seeing coffee and coffee shops increase in price this spring #coffee

I've been slowly transferring my work into marimo notebooks. It takes some time to migrate from Jupyter but I really like the approach. #python #stats #research #science #datasci marimo.io

Large language models won't reform society they will reflect society.

Mickey's ears are always in a strange orbit around his head. His ears are *not* fixed in 2d and 3d animations. Once you see this you can't unsee it.

Here's your unsolicited reminder to always visualize your data. Anscombe's Quartet shows that 4 datasets with identical descriptive statistics are, in fact, very different when visualized. 🤔 If this isn't enough, look up the datasaurus dozen 🤯 #rstats #stats #python #research

Magic School Bus is still a good show. The reboot was okay. Someday I'll be able to prompt an generative video model and say "explain this to me in a Magic School Bus episode" it will be... well... magical.

Can someone get a tenure track job without a postdoc? Asking for a friend.

Going to conferences helps me with imposter syndrome. It's great to see scholars I admire and early career researchers struggling with the same things I am. #academicsky

In my latest publication, we fine-tuned a large language model to extract clinical information from unstructured text messages sent to and by clinicians in nursing homes to develop a taxonomy related to the age-friendly health systems framework. academic.oup.com/jamia/advanc...

Got accepted for the AIM-AHEAD ScHARe Equity in Population Health AI: Beyond EHR Training Program! Yay!

coffee roasting curves and loss curves look very similar. The rate-of-rise (ROR) should have a steep downward trend and flatten as the roast proceeds. If the ROR goes back up or flattens out, you get baked or underdeveloped flavors. #ML #trivia

If you have just a small amount of time or current skills in coding/development or have a motivation to save some money, there is significant savings in using OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude APIs rather than the monthly subscriptions. I am a moderate user and spent less than 1 USD this month.
