Still cracks me up that not long ago everyone was like “Trials are too expensive”, and the solution to this is to do massive AI models with colossal piles of data. More expensive, more assumptions, weaker causality. 🍌🍌

Also it’s way cheaper than pouring barrels of cash into building ultra-mega-giga-data-centers

The problem is the cliff-edge dichotomous thinking, which I think can be exacerbated by the use of p-values, but you can still do this with CIs - it's not a property of either, more a problem with interpretation.

I think Positron might do something similar, called ‘Open Collaboration’, but I’ve not tried that yet!

For asynchronous editing, I think it’s a gap. If you’re doing synchronous edits, you can do a kludgey solution by opening the .Qmd in VS Code and firing up a ‘Live Share’ session and sharing the link with collaborators. Not ideal, but not bad.
