As someone with a model with mediocre performance it's impressive to see that the top 3 ones had AUCs up to. 77 for predicting future events. Curious how they did it!

If you’re interested in what the long-term strategy is of those who are currently cutting funding for public research and educational infrastructure, take a look at Trump’s new “science panel.” Don't believe that this cannot happen in Europe. It can and it will if things progress like they do.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

That reminds me of when the professor, while discussing Kretschmer’s constitutional types in the history of psychology lecture, said: “By the way, I’m not a pyknic, but a fat athletic”

Another EXCELLENT paper about exposure. But this supports my claim that we have to study recommendations that come from basic science and often we don't find they improve outcomes... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#Psychotherapie Was ambulante Psychotherapie an Kosteneinsparungen ermöglicht: -27,4% Hospitalisierungstage -21,5 % stationäre Kosten -41,8 % Arbeitsunfähigkeitstage (im ersten Jahr nach Therapie).

Unter dem Radar blieb bislang, dass die gesetzlichen Krankenkassen die Vergütung für ambulante Psychotherapie ab dem 1.4.26 um 4.5% senken, während Strukturzuschläge um 14,25% angehoben werden. D.h. bei gestiegenen Lebenskosten, verdienen Therapeut:innen jetzt weniger mit Kassepatient:innen. 1/2

Thinking of this quote from Erikson’s Malazan series today (from Book 2, Deadhouse Gates): “‘Children are dying.' Lull nodded. 'That's a succinct summary of humankind, I'd say. Who needs tomes and volumes of history? Children are dying. The injustices of the world hide in those three words.’l

"There is a risk that the narrative claiming ‘ADHD is over-diagnosed’ could be used to deny people with properly-diagnosed ADHD the care they deserve"

"Look at our pre-post effects, how huge they are! Of course, not having a control group is a limitation. But still: HUGE EFFECTS!"

Cereals with milk is a salad even by fairly restrictive standards and should thus be eaten exactly as shown.

It's reassuring to live in a country where this would be unconstitutional. Yes, in good old free-speech stifling, regulating, Nazi-criminalizing Europe :)

New paper from our team: Can ML identify which adolescents benefit most from school-based mindfulness? In 8,376 students (MYRIAD trial), models detected statistically significant but clinically negligible differential effects (d ≈ .07–.08). Precision prevention is hard...

Adverse childhood event reports are largely stable but also fluctuate, which is related especially to current relationships with parents. More support or less strain associated with fewer recalled events. Pretty interesting work by @chops310.bsky.social

Great debunk of the Polyvagal Theory by Paul Grossman was published some years ago in Biological Psychology. doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

We are currently entering the great debunking phase on social media. These posts often come from the same accounts that celebrated polyvagal theory some time ago and recommended ear pressure points to PTSD patients.

I have to say, as long as you know what you're doing, Vibe is really useful for auxiliary tasks in the coding area. I'm currently using it to clean up a very messy directory from an R project; it's rewriting the paths for me, etc.

With an r of .50 is impressive for group-level inference, but people will read this and think: LLMs know who I am. Trying to predict an individual's score with this will give you 80% prediction intervals that are more than two standard deviations wide.

First time I enjoy Word comments

Neu anlaufende Studie in Schweden zur intensiven traumafokussierten Therapie bei Jugendlichen ab 15. Aufgrund der extremen Wartezeiten und allgemein geringen Verfügbarkeit für Psychotherapie hierzulande sicher auch zu überlegen, hier mehr auf intensivierte Therapie zu setzen.

Some article proofing sites were deliberately created with the intention of making the process as uncomfortable as possible. There is simply no other explanation for still having to disable ad blockers in 2026 or being told “under no circumstances should you reload the page.”

Stellenvergabe in der wissenschaft 🤝 Psychometrik in der klinischen Psychologie Netzwerke spielen eine größere Rolle als sie meiner Meinung nach sollten

Hot take: one of the main benefits of running data analyses in 🐬 Docker 🐬 isn't reproducibility, but saving yourself (or your lab) hundreds or thousands of pounds in computer costs*. Here's how... #datascience #docker #rstudio #python *for a very niche set of people

Every non-hype defense of LLMs starts with "you must already understand your work really well." Vibe coding isn't being done by those people. It's being done by execs who are making a prototype because it is now easy to do. This kills the systems of intention and maintenance necessary for good UX.

There's a lot of buzz about Christian revival among young adults in the UK & US. Perceptions of revival are fueled by results from opt-in online surveys. However, these surveys may be misleading. Surveys from random samples of the population don't show any clear evidence of revival. My new post:

Nature Medicine is a MAGA/MAHA outlet now

You can specify relative position in ggplot with I(x) I(y). E.g. annotate("text", x = I(.5), y = I(.5), label = "hello!") will place the text in the middle of the plot. This, combined with alignment arguments is like 87% of the magic for me.

In many jurisdictions, people's lives have been ruined because they "pirated" a music album. Meanwhile, NVIDIA:

Most of psychotherapy research is progress, not innovation. This review concludes that small, incremental benefits can arise from it: - Digital tools can increase access and engagement. - Personalization can improve response rates. - Simplified, scalable formats can reach more people.
