Remember that recent paper claiming to show that "ideological bias" determined the results obtained by immigration policy research teams? A careful, open-code reanalysis by @kauspurg.bsky.social & Josef Brüderl finds that the result arises from a coding error. —> doi.org/10.31222/osf...

I spent the past semester building interactive teaching apps with AI-assisted coding. I used my personal website to share them with my students, but that makes them hard to find for other educators. So I built Galvoro — galvoro.app

Wissenschaftsministerin ein massiver fail. Ideologisch, dumm, und in der Sache so falsch wie im Amt unprofessionell.

Ich habe in letzter Zeit Gespräche mit Mitarbeitenden der Agentur für Arbeit geführt. Sie schienen alle genervt vom Begriff der „Totalverweigerer“, weil es die praktisch nicht gibt. Entweder hat niemand dieser Politiker:innen je mit Mitarbeitenden der Ämter gesprochen. Oder sie sagen die Unwahrheit.
