Thank you Dan, this is great (and answers a lot of questions that come up).

I wonder if change blindness operates differently than IB cross culturally because in IB the level of engagement is controlled by the experiment, but in people-swapping CB tasks, engagement is left up to the subject.

Thanks for tagging Dan. Bsky doesn't have a very good search function so I couldn't find him again.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I don't really like the load theory explanation as much as a memory based explanation if you see 1-2 new people per month, basic memory theory suggests that the face of the new person you're talking to will just be very easy to remember vs meeting 1-10 new people per day.

Didn't Dartmouth do this last week?

Same thing applies to particle physics as well. Very much confirmatory fishing, but also very low p values.

My instinct is to tell them that IB and CB are ubiquitous properties of selective attention and not the result of modern life.

But on thinking about it, I can imagine that urban life makes it easier to ignore the physical characteristics of the person you're talking to. Any evidence for this?

Meanwhile in #Portland

@irahyman.bsky.social My students in an attention seminar are asking whether change and inattentional blindness are products of the dense information environment of a city. I was wondering if any one has run e.g. the door study on someone in the country. >

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Ari Shapiro just wandered into that interview unprepared

Michigan Avenue right now.

POSTDOC Opening: I'm hiring a postdoc to work with me, @ayeletlandau.bsky.social, and Yuval Benjamini on a 4-year NSF funded project to understand timing and memorability in the visual system. fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking all included.

If interested, please DM or email me for more information!

@hankgreen.bsky.social has seen Sora 2 and he has opinions. You might want to turn your volume down.

You’ll now be able to get an updated coronavirus shot in every state without a prescription, according to the American Pharmacists Association.

CVS and Walgreens have stated you won’t need to attest to any underlying conditions and the questions will be removed from their online booking system.

The new Wiley journal review system is an absolute nightmare. Editorial assistants have been replaced by a clunky, AI-enabled website that makes it harder to find and invite reviewers. Associate editor workloads have increased. I'm not convinced the invitations to reviewers are even going through.

Also, other for-profit publishers are not much better.

Yes but it's more efficient.

Judge Diane Goodstein's home is burning to the ground after an explosion. SLED is investigation as arson and refer attack as Judge Goodstein had been receiving multiple threats.

Thanks I hadn't heard of it. I didn't pick up on the implication of it being Dutch only.

yea, that was a damn shame to see. I imagine they pay for APIs, which means premiums for overleaf go into that.

Can you tell me what Surf refers to here? I'm curious about alternatives.

I think he was commenting there on your point about removing Word. I think would be a non starter at my university since we rely on Office for quite a lot of tasks and there isn't a good replacement option.

It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.
