I believe science is much more like art than many scientists are willing to consider. I have a feeling that it would free us to do better science if we embraced this view. I may be mistaken but that's where I am mentally.

Not to be a lawyer, but this isn’t a no. Does she say elsewhere that they will not sign?

If their response is worse than Sonnets, then they should lose their jobs. Already it is too late. This should take 20 minutes.

I used to have a laptop bigger than that grill. Unclear from here which would get hotter

None of the above is evidence. Just a guess. I don’t know the studies.

Also, the biggest factor is obviously that it is now easier to get diagnosed with autism and that’s probably good.

What if, bear with me… fevers in pregnancy were bad. Then, we might only identify these cases by who took acetaminophen. If that were true (just my hypothetical)… but it strikes me that this would be confusing for bad statisticians

to do good science, you need to fall in love with your dreams.

everyone always emphasizes the flip side of rationality, which is also kinda true. but the reviewers help you with that. your reviewers can't fall in love for you. and if you aren't falling in love, then stop.

“Duty to shareholders” becomes exceptionally weird when that duty requires sucking up to Trump. Like all those CEOs fawning over him. It’s arguably their job to do that? But it plays very differently in the press and for public opinion.

Half baked thought: communication is always a weird crazy strong bottleneck. So, us sending a little text off to a data center for massive calculations and the text center sending a little text back is like way way off the charts on some metric of ratio between total computation and communication.

“Non-linear” is the first word people say before they go off the methodological deep end

My quote of the day

What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists, is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.

His response reads to me as avoidance, definitely not indifference.

As elsewhere, he is a child that doesn’t know how to process difficult emotions. And if he wasn’t the failed leader of the free world, we would feel sorry for him. I think i can still muster an ounce of pity?

When I was a kid, I had a hard time believing that The Emperor’s New Clothes spoke to a real thing that could ever happen, like ever anywhere in history.

My grandfather escaped Germany just before ww2. Fought with the good guys. My dad is a literal boomer. And counted in this number?

These people are freaking loony toons.
