The tragedy of the commons in meta analysis is massive
The real reason the consultancy sector is dead because of LLMs is that the work was mostly confabulatory sycophantic story-building. Now the marginal cost for that is zero.
"Don't commission that, it is claudizable" has become a day to day warning.
Hey @posit.co team, is there a plan to make Posit Assistant easier to configure with Ollama-run local models?
Is the US Trump administration pushing scientists towards industry by making their academic lives unbearable?
My newborn daughter only sleeps if I play her Nick Drake tunes. How proud and lucky and I.
Really enjoying C. Thi Nguyen’s book on the philosophy of games “The Score”. Resonates with my own philosophy of turning problems into games to get enjoyment into solving them, instead of stress to sort them out.
Loving the workshops @paulgp.com is making on Claude (Code and Cowork)
Man, the content at Vox is really bad, when did this happen?
The Thom Yorke concert in the Sydney Opera House is sublime, mesmerizing. Rabbit in your headlights solo version is beyond words.
You should all cancel your subscriptions to expensive online survey systems and build your own with surveydown, supabase and bslib.
Let me get this straight. You can have Posit AI in RStudio for 20 bucks a month or Claude Code in Positron for 20 bucks a month. Why on earth would you pick the former? Weird move by Posit.
Music journalism should be a bigger thing. Like a magazine that hosts Rick Beato interviews, what Vox used to do called Earworm and stuff like that. I would subscribe in a heartbeat.
A few months ago I started experimenting with having multiple open source LLMs interact with each others’ inputs-outputs. One would produce a prompt that another would use, and another one still would review. I guess that is called agentic coding.
Why did I just discover that in Markdown [] creates a clickable box on HTML.
Hi @vincentab.bsky.social is there a plan for marginaleffects to support CmdStanMCMC class objects?
Obsessed with that recent lecture by James Robison about cultural syncretism and how the real and the absurd lives together in Latin America.
Eveything has a chatbot and nothing works better because if it.
How do we call this phase in social science where all large effects were found and now everyone is bickering infinitely on small effects seen through underpowered studies? Tinycene? Minicene?
The querychat_app function is one of the most powerful things I have ever seen. What that team is doing is awesome.
Qué lindo, p-hacking en la junta directiva del BanRep.
The academic-entrepreneur is a dangerous animal. If the academic is not good to begin with, the combo of lack of scruples and high ambition crates professional thieves or fraudsters.
Claude Code: - Hey, make a plan to fix this document - Execute the plan - Hey, reverse all changes, you screwed this up massively
