Boeing is a word that looks like a proper noun and, more importantly, is a much more well-known company than DJI. Moreover, for those of us who don't know it's a company, DJI looks…

Right but the salary ranges here are not that tipping point. Sure, a coke is a coke, but how many people can even consider the other options when it's 5 dozen for $10 for that or 5…

God I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm working on getting a newsletter up and running and I'm so focused on best writing practices and these guys can't even remember to define thei…

Learning styles is bunk because it's effectively a practice effect that's self-reinforcing, not because we don't have preferences at all. So the fact that you have not found utilit…

And smell and bacterial levels are absolutely correlated

Teachers don't actually get a 3 month vacation in summer, they just do a shitton of unpaid labor to prep for the next school year while being told they should be grateful

HN has a lot of people who are quite smart but have not been through graduate school or academia, so they don't realize just how niche the type of training and topic-specific knowl…

One small suggested addendum: 1.5) read the last paragraph or two of the intro. Most good papers spend these paragraphs laying out their study and their expected and alternate hypo…

You can't see the point of elucidating the nuances of the way the brain encodes the information around us? Surely even if you see no value in basic science of this nature in and of…

It does not, just that both dimensions are coded for in some way. Per the current article, temporal and spatial codes have been previously studied in isolation, so it was not known…

I truly have no idea what you are advocating for here.

That's certainly a potential follow up hypothesis. Surely this study can be improved, but conversely not every study has to answer every question or be perfectly ecologically valid…

An interesting off the cuff alternative hypothesis that could be tested in a future study for sure. Though if I were the authors before I did that study I would do a pretty big lit…

There is a pretty good argument to be made that asking someone to imagine walking in these scenes and click on areas of interest/concern is at least a partial proxy for where they …

It sounds ridiculous as well but neither are women. It's an interesting question to ask why we would see baseline gender differences in the implementation of these concepts. My bac…

This is a rough take. Not every study has to be fully ecologically valid to show us something interesting about human behavior. The authors have presented you with a real, observed…

Outside of real-world context, both men AND women will naturally focus on objects in a scene that are brighter than their surroundings. What's more interesting here is that the con…

Your peripheral vision has greater ACUITY at night but that doesn't improve its RESOLUTION. Your peripheral vision will be better able to alert you to movements at night. You will …

Their point is women largely WEREN'T clicking in the lit up center, even though the men were. Your counter only presumes that men would look more like the women's clicking in real …

My first thought was the actual publication reads like a student paper, especially the methods. Lo and behold: > Acknowledgments The Skaggs Faculty Mentoring Award at BYU for its f…

Thats the PSAT and is not used for any college admissions that I'm aware of

Hi friend, I have replied to someone further down with an explanation that may be of interest to you! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39304294

Imagine that your brain is a company composed of several different departments, each with a different primary function. In any organization, there has to be some communication betw…
