the meeting of the Society for Inexact Philosophy will be held some time in 2026 at an university

Some people asked for it so here you go!

Just updated the arXiv version of our upcoming paper 🚀 We show how to build three-way tests (accept, reject, or stay undecided) using confidence/credible regions. They’re logically coherent and control type I & II errors—even when testing multiple hypotheses. No significance corrections needed!

A friend of mine, I recently found out, does really fantastic memes about economics and econometrics. The initial ones are in Russian, but I convinced her to translate them into english so I could share them with a broader audience, I think many of you will appreciate them!

🚨 New paper on ArXiv: “Uncertainty quantification and posterior sampling for network reconstruction” TL;DR; We present an efficient method to sample the entire ensemble of possible network reconstructions that are compatible with an indirect observation, e.g. a dynamics. Short thread: 1/N

It is the time of christmas parties, so here is your seasonal guide to never having heard of Slavoj Žižek. medium.com/the-hairpin/...

I am happy to announce that a paper of mine, Rafael B. Stern and @rafael-izbicki.bsky.social has been accepted for publication at the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning 🎉 In our paper, we show how to build and test hypotheses of practical equivalence in nonparametric settings. 🧵

Men will literally prefer going Bayesian instead of going to therapy.

My fav starter packs so far, a thread: stats: go.bsky.app/Ki7PjpS stats: go.bsky.app/7TBN5rX causal inference: go.bsky.app/FdemGAZ package devs: go.bsky.app/N1569Qh data peeps: go.bsky.app/8TdEfdK medical stats: go.bsky.app/ArqEz36 bioinformatics: go.bsky.app/Ha64Gmv r-ladies: go.bsky.app/Vgxwa2F

Since my previous epi starter pack was very popular, I've made another one to help you find stats & meta-science people on Bluesky! Feel free to suggest anyone who might be missing. go.bsky.app/LqYZHBX

I made a metascience starter pack, emphasizing accounts that often post about metascience rather than specific science reform policy advocacy. go.bsky.app/PhZ1Q4g

Ontem saíram duas pesquisas para prefeitura de SP com resultados relativamente diferentes, principalmente para o candidato Boulos. A matéria abaixo tenta explicar essas diferenças do ponto de vista metodológico. E tem a participação dessa pessoa que vos escreve 😄

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider : are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No. *but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no. *but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no. maybe you're not being negative *enough*

A starter pack with causal inference I know. Unsure if this is the correct way of doing this, but I'm learning go.bsky.app/FdemGAZ

Created a starter pack of Bayesians. It is *very* biased by who I engage with regularly and who I know is on this site. Let me know if you want to be added to the list or know someone who should be. #stats go.bsky.app/UfgChHe

This is a good article, but this remains the most important point. Elon is not challenging the decision in court, he is simply acting like he's above the law and ignoring the sovereign government of Brazil. He's not hiring legal counsel, he's posting memes in English about Xandão.

agora este é um aplicativo brasileiro 🫡

Holy shit, they put the data on github.

"The university has an obligation to interrogate the proposition that a world in which AI is widely used is desirable or inevitable. We don’t need to cheer for a vision of tomorrow in which scientists feel comfortable with not personally reading the articles …” uniavisen.dk/en/cut-the-a...

Scientists: We need to slow down the publication race and produce higher quality papers at a slower rate to make the literature manageable again. Engineers: We hear you. Now every lab in the world will be able to produce hundreds of medium-quality papers (with a few mistakes in each) every week.

Scientists take heed. Consumers know what's what!
