Thanks. Well, textbooks last copyrighted a decade ago, right as the reckoning in experimental psychology around the replication crisis was taking off. I suspect they may look different now.

> Elon has pointed out, he designed one of the original cars for Tesla. "he designed" is doing a whole lot of work in that sentence.

This is great. I hope you get into Beziers next, I get the strong feeling they can be elegant if done programmatically but I haven't yet put my finger on how and still kinda eyeball them.

> I would submit we should be cautious with metaobservations like, "this is much older than other sites," because we should be trying to prove ourselves wrong, whereas these sorts of metaobservations amplify confirmation bias.

Yeah worth mentioning, to put a fine point on it - geological ice ages are millions of years long and include alternating glacial and interglacial periods. In popular use of the terms, ice ages are those shorter glacial periods.

A good reference point is Los Angeles would have had a NorCal climate during the glacial.

The problem of induction always applies. You also can't examine every bit of matter in the universe to ensure it is made of atoms.

I think the relevant wording here is "problem of induction". You can generate evidence at will and meetn any threshold of evidence for the statement "all swans are white". Anyone can perform the experiment by traveling a

A good but not perfect example would be Newtonian gravitation. Pre-relativity, if it wasn't for the weird precession of the perihelion of Mercury, one could have easily used a form of this argument to claim Newtonian gravity is a fact

This article reminder me of this classic from 1994 by Steven Jay Gould, "Evolution as a fact and theory". [1] I adore SJG but this is one essay where I disagreed. Actually started the first day of a research design course in a pre

The week to week grind in academia, disagreements included, is typically petty shit to people outside of a very niche subfield.

Yes in hindsight that's obvious because this is in no universe a good way to learn python. Maybe an ok way to get kids to think a tiny bit programmatically.

That could be the case for the author of the blog in question, and it would still be legitimate to take issue with someone passing off the work as their own.

After seeing the figure [1] I'm pretty confident this relationship described is artifact. Rather than comparing raw medians a statistically robust comparison would have been log(sentence counts) or geometric means, and there would not
