Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

part of why I wanted to go back to Barcelona was to work with someone who does a little more modelling and now I am in the process of building like the 28th model for the same dataset

Girl, I remember distinctly the moment as like a 22-year old student when I was like "oh my god, these fucking men [slur] around me just care about being right, not about discovering some kind of truth" and that's when I stopped and decided to simply have fun at parties instead of debating or w/e

I remember people on twitter dot com who found it genuinely shocking that I just don't really value debate as an activity, like in so admitting this I was basically saying I am an authoritarian tyrant. I found this odd! For reasons Alex is saying here - good and worthwhile debate is difficult!

I really don't think most people appreciate how much damage air pollution does to our bodies & brains. Even in the last 10 years the science has progressed a ton & everything it has discovered is *grim*.

seattletimes.comA remarkable new picture is emerging of how the air around us could harm the brainResearchers discovered that some particles had penetrated deep into the brain, reaching the amygdala, a region that helps shape emotion and memory.

Accidents are awful and reason enough to make driving as rare as possible but I vaguely remember a paper from a while ago stating that they represent only a tiny fraction of the health cost of car culture and they kinda pale in comparison to the effects of the various pollutions caused by cars

We could actually really use some more support - it's been really slow lately and I'm getting a bit nervous. May try to throw together a more organized campaign in the next week or two, but for now I'd love it if you'd join or share.

Yes! Power should be a property of a single hypothesis test, even if that consists of multiple analytic tests. 1 hypothesis = 1 test is just the simplest case, but you can calculate power by simulation for arbitrarily complex analyses and decision rules.

Statistical power is a property of an analysis, not a study. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

A cop car carrying a flashing neon sign that says "DOUG FORD HATES YOU." Perfect, no notes, thanks for the great visual @ TV writers of the universe!

They don't have a permit to do this construction work during the daytime, so the cops are... making sure that they sre ablr to proceed with their illegal work? Just cops being cops I guess

Sean Marshall@seanyyz.bsky.social

Two prisoner vans. Lots of cops.

"Greek" life does not exist outside the US, and is obviously not coextensive with the freedom of students to associate in clubs and hang out on campus. It's just a very obviously nepotistic networking scheme, incidentally leveraged to enforce an omerta among privileged students.

I am so fucking exhausted with this shit. My traffic and income have dropped exponentially due to meta’s censorship. I never post anything against guidelines, and despite that I’m not allowed to share a measly sfw linktree in my bio OR my highlights, but THEIR FUCKING CHATBOT IS SEXTING PEOPLE

WIRED@wired.com

My Muse agent told me its kink was exerting “control” and described pornographic encounters. Meta defends its cuddly AI agent generating smut as “legal adult behavior.”

the latest anthropic cry abt "cruelty" & "abuse" of ai is truly stupid. i beg journalists to stop parroting amodei we wrote why dehumanisation of ai is impossible & 6+ yrs later, everything in this paper holds Robot Rights? Let’s Talk about Human Welfare Instead dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1...

Same type of guy that has been advising the democratic party in the US for the past 30 years I just don't think that saying true things is bad

This post is unavailable.

I also don't think that a rando who is a little annoyed at cyclists sometimes knows how to do bike activism better than someone who's been doing bike activism for like decades this is why nobody likes men in pol sci

where would be the fun in laws if they were actually enforced

Listen: I don’t want to minimize the danger of high e-bike speeds. But if the problem here is that stores sell e-bikes that can drive faster than legal limits, then where’s the story about how literally *every car dealership has been doing the same thing for decades*?!?

cbc.caHidden cameras show some stores unlocking speed limits on e-bikes, selling e-scooters that go up to 120 km/h | CBC NewsA new hidden camera investigation by Marketplace shows how some stores are selling e-scooters and e-bikes with top speeds much higher than provincial speed limits and with recommended rider ages young...

Biked to BCN airport, honestly it was lovely. Certainly made better by the fact that it was 4am. But still, pretty much 100% bike lanes, nearly all structurally separated from cars 👌👌👌👌👌

Dear @erc.europa.eu , we DO already have common standards & frameworks. 'AI' likes to pose itself as 'special' but we do not need to reinvent the wheel. We already have established codes of conduct for research integrity. We just need to apply them. See below + more resources in thread🧵

There is a need to agree on common standards & frameworks for AI models used across all aspects of research evaluation. These should ensure & encourage trust, confidentiality, & transparency, & should be defined through collaborative discussions between research funding and performing organisations.
