Today marks a first in that I have found a mildly entertaining post on LinkedIn

I'm curious are there ppl who actually pay for the papers like that? Most articles are available online nowadays through authors or some well-known websites

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the actual fuck? Do you know what a security guard on a UK campus carries? A stab vest, a radio, and some training in mental health and deescalation. Assault rifles? Wow. Such a messed-up country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

A 2021 state law allows campus police to own military equipment for civilian safety – students fear it may be used to quash dissent

1/ Can AI help researchers check whether published social science results actually reproduce? In our new PNAS paper, we tested this directly in the AI Replication Games: 288 researchers, 103 teams, and real replication packages from quantitative social science.

Many scholars don’t actually disagree with each other so much as maintain incompatible citation networks

I think this genuinely can be a good thing. An automated agent that a) tries to run the code to see if it does what it is supposed to do and b) checks it for conceptual or implementation errors (code can run but be very wrong nevertheless).

Stefano Palminteri@stepalminteri.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Many journals already require authors to upload data and code. A near-future where an LLM systematically checks the analysis and the code of every published study is realistic. Believe it or not, I think this is the future of scientific publishing.

It's so weird to think that a retro-cue paradigm has a birth date.

Melinda Sabo@sabomelinda.bsky.social · 5mo ago

📍2003 marked the year in which the retro-cue paradigm was born. Fast forward, 23 years later, we adapt this logic to long-term memory and ask how does attention shape retrieval from long-term memory? 🤔 w/ @william-nm.bsky.social Kia Nobre, Nahid Zokaei and Nora Roüast osf.io/preprints/ps... 1/n

Also a nice example of depth/size perception distortion (the train looks like a cutoff to me, and a small one)

When writing a grant or reasoning about a problem, artificial intelligence can exert a subtle bias that often goes undetected, even when we’re doing our best to be aware of it, writes Tim Requarth. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/from-bench-t...

Fascinating. Important. The stunning thing I’ve seen as an editor, reviewer, & educator, is the use of generative AI to accelerate low quality work. Rather than use these tools to do more ambitious scholarship, there is a race to the bottom. This post, the first in its series, documents exactly that

My first foray into explicitly trying to bridge Marr’s levels, with @bealebrains.bsky.social. Inspired by Hahn and Wei’s models (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38360947/), we wondered how the brain could instantiate sensory inference with efficient /decoding/ properties. 1/

My recent comment extends Shiffrin et al.'s (2026) essay on "Illusions of understanding". While they focused on multiple ways of understanding linear regression, I extend these ideas to a complex model class in cognitive science: Evidence Accumulation Models (EAMs). (1/6)👇

This is great! I've used Stan and JAX separately for different projects in the past, both are great, so hopefully this will be a huge step forward towards making Bayesian models faster. And then perhaps brms can now be used with Stan -> Jax as well?

Ben Schneider @bschneidr.bsky.social · 4mo ago

👀 looks like the core Stan folks are pretty bullish on Jax as the software of choice for fitting Bayesian models bob-carpenter.github.io/dj-paper/
