Kyiv è sotto attacco da ieri notte. Stavo dormendo quando è scattato allarme e una voce in camera ha avvisato di scendere nel rifugio dell'albergo. Sono scesa in ascensore con altre persone. Scendendo si è sentito qualche colpo di contraerea.
Nel rifugio ci sono lettini, tavoli, e bevande calde.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

there was a time when a crappy study like this would not have got into a peer-reviewed journal. Now any old woo can be promoted as having evidence from a peer reviewed study

If you’ve ever attempted a meta-analysis, you’ll know that authors generally do a poor job reporting statistics. If you do this well, you’ll improve your chances of your work being included in a future meta-analysis.
Our paper on improving statistical reporting in psychology is now online 🎉
As a part of this paper, we also created the Transparent Statistical Reporting in Psychology checklist, which researchers can use to improve their statistical reporting practices
