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:

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.

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.

The three "waves" of psychotherapy are often described as historical fact, which is astonishing when you consider that they represent the distorted and sometimes straight up incorrect view of a single individual (Hayes).

This paper had a pretty shocking headline result (40% of voxels!), so I dug into it, and I think it is wrong. Essentially: they compare two noisy measures and find that about 40% of voxels have different sign between the two. I think this is just noise!

Important new paper on normative bias in research. In a many-analyst design estimates produced by pro- vs anti-immigration teams systematically differ, driven by specification choices. It’s exploratory analysis expanding on a PNAS paper, but findings seem plausible. www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Sadly, also what happened to large parts of the former psychology Twitter community. Practitioners mostly went to Instagram, researchers either here or Linkedin (ugh). Now, Linkedin is where you can find most of them.

Parenting is effortful. There are 168 hours in each week. Parents of children in the first 3 years of life provide an average of 156 hours of care a week. Allowing parents to parent less enables them to parent better. www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=...

It’s nice to see radical behaviorism and psychodynamics - both massively underrepresented in many psychology programs btw - agree on core assumptions about personality functioning. This preprint by @kimberlyjgilbert.bsky.social argues for the psychodynamic framework. osf.io/rg3zn/overview
