Given Schaffer's participation in the attack on the US Capitol, his imprisonment, and pardon by Trump earlier this year, I have to wonder about the political message of this album, if there was any.

In this house when we say "emerging literature" we mean two papers and one blog post

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

One difference between me and many people in the 40k universe is that I would simply learn about chaos enough to understand its mysteries and make use of its powers without becoming corrupting myself.

A Case Against the Placebo Effect

The picture that emerges is that a placebo pill has almost no effect when administered by researchers who do not care about the placebo effect, but the exact same pill has an enormous effect larger…

We already know that lagged effects in CLPMs are likely to be upwardly biased, but just how easy is it to find significant effects? Way too easy. I tested CLPMS in 100 randomly selected pairs of correlated variables and found significant effects in 98 of them. New preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

I don't want to hear "AI" researchers complain that everyone now thinks AI = LLMs. It wasn't that long ago that y'all were calling logistic regression AI because it suited you to. You could have stopped this long before but chose not to. 😘
