We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

In tal van landen ziet @leoniedejonge.bsky.social eenzelfde patroon: eerst wordt het extreemrechtse gedachtegoed genormaliseerd, daarna volgt een machtspositie in de politiek. De gewelddadigheden in Den Haag kun je daar niet los van zien. "Daar moeten we het over hebben"

In the spirit of redoing grad school code now that I know better, I wanted to take a shot at something like my `focalevents` code for Bluesky

But if the only way to search for specific things is through a full backfill of the data, it's not going to be feasible for academics with limited budgets

You can also sometimes push back. I have sometimes just argued that I *know* that the Publisher can handle it because other journals also accept latex, so that they need to accept my latex source + pdf. It’s worth a try!

Paper drop, for anyone interested in #metascience, #statistics, or #metaanalysis! @clintin.bsky.social and I show in a new paper in JASA that the P-curve, a popular forensic meta-analysis method, has deeply undesirable statistical properties. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... 1/?
Cover page for the manuscript: Morey, R. D., & Davis-Stober, C. P. (2025). On the poor statistical properties of the P-curve meta-analytic procedure. Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1–19. https://doi.org/10.1080/01621459.2025.2544397 Abstract for the paper: The P-curve (Simonsohn, Nelson, & Simmons, 2014; Simonsohn, Simmons, & Nelson, 2015) is a widely-used suite of meta-analytic tests advertised for detecting problems in sets of studies. They are based on nonparametric combinations of p values (e.g., Marden, 1985) across significant (p < .05) studies and are variously claimed to detect “evidential value”, “lack of evidential value”, and “left skew” in p values. We show that these tests do not have the properties ascribed to them. Moreover, they fail basic desiderata for tests, including admissibility and monotonicity. In light of these serious problems, we recommend against the use of the P-curve tests.

Drie van vier bekende AI-chatbots geven desgevraagd stemadvies 
AIchatbots ChatGPT, Gemini en Grok schromen er niet voor om kiezers stemadvies te geven. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van BNR in aanloop naar de Tweede Kamerverkiezingen. Maar hun advies is willekeurig en onbetrouwbaar, zeggen deskundigen. Slechts een van de vier onderzochte AIchatbots, namelijk Copilot, weigert stemadvies te geven.
