Dear @jonworth.eu and all other train friends, could you help me out with a picture from a train ride in Bavaria, ideally with some mountains in it? I inquire as we would like to use a lovely picture for a small pro train postcard (happy to tell more). Many thanks!
Today we launch the first stable release of RegCheck: v1.0.0. RegCheck makes it easier and quicker to compare study registrations to published papers for consistency - something we know is important in principle, but rarely done in practice. A 🧵 on what's new: regcheck.app
RegCheck
RegCheck is an AI tool to compare preregistrations with papers instantly.

I am working on a new function in Metacheck's upcoming data-validate module. I am interested in detecting and labeling scales and measures. It is working pretty well, but in case I am reinventing the wheel - do you know of tools that can find scales in datasets in repositories?

Today is Pride in London. Labour is responsible for one of the biggest attacks on LGBTQ+ rights in a European democracy in decades. Yet, politicians of this party do not only lack the courage to speak up against these policies, they still try to use our protests for their own virtue signaling
Today at Pride in London, we’ll show the world that love will always triumph over hate.

🚨 A few months ago, a paper published in Science reported that “LLM adoption is associated with a large increase in researchers’ scientific output.” In a comment released today, we show that the reported effects are driven by a methodological issue in the empirical design. arxiv.org/abs/2605.17979

It’s almost as if they were ideologically predisposed toward finding ideological bias
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...
This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com
