"This has surprised scientists, and it remains an open research question to fully understand how our models produce such accurate predictions at this resolution." Also crazy. Seems…

I'm aware of the research on trauma and posttraumatic growth (and have worked with such patients). What I'm referring to are correlations between group-level variables at the level…

I agree with the need for an empirical reality check, but have grown really skeptical about these kinds of cohort-level well-being measures. I wouldn't say they're meaningless, but…

I'm not sure what to make of this? Is any healthy skepticism about AI now treated as motivated luddism? Academics has its many issues but universities are hardly the only sources o…

I admit I didn't follow this as much as I'd like to, and I wish it had some discussion of how this maps onto traditional signal processing frameworks in statistics and information …

I think the message I've often heard is that looted objects are so obviously looted and subject to confiscation that there's now little demand for them. I took this article as a pu…

Although the idea is compelling to me, the evidence they present wasn't. I think the reason why is that it doesn't explain why all the other lifeforms in the same ecological niches…

Experimental designs are critical for obvious reasons but they have a few critical flaws, that mostly all reduce to the fact you can't randomize manipulations with everything. Whet…
