The writing is hideous, I can see that being the case.

There are multiple legs to The Hobby (tm), the painting and modelling, the game, and the lore. For me, painting is the fun bit. I find the game broken and totally driven by marketing. Horrible pay-to-win stuff. Gaming you need people, you g

Yeah, glazed immediately. It's not even like I recognised it as generated, there's just no substance.

As a personal rule, I don't touch short form video, much like I keep away from cocaine.

So many dead lads from both my countries fighting American wars, for zero gain to our peoples. That's vassalship, not an alliance.

As someone who spends far too much time questioning the system, I often assume the hoop-jumpers are somehow happier. I wonder if life would be easier if I stopped worrying about the big picture.

> The report stated that the US had concerns about Japanese government market intervention to support the TRON OS and identified two specific markets where TRON was receiving government advantage. The US government is one hell of a moat.

I made one of these recently! Total vibe-code, but exactly the sort of thing that I'd never get around to without. Plugged it into Sonic Pi, wired it up to play samples on gestures. Got a nice installation brewing at some point.

*Quasi-experimental, see my comment below. Excuse the sloppy language, it's a while since I've done one. It's not as good as an RCT, but lifetime sugar consumption, as the article points out, is not something you can randomis

OK, quasi-experimental, a discontinuity design, surely? It's not purely observational, as you've got (albeit imperfect) treatment and control, built around (presumably very similar) people born on either side of a cut-off, simulat

It's an experimental study. These designs attempt to create a treatment and control to account for this problem. Others in the thread point out how it's not easy to implement, but there is a methodological attempt at casual infere

Yeah mine too. Swear to God I'm not a bot, folks. I just use Firefox and a bunch of extensions. Actually pretty pissed off about that. A site like this should understand their audience is technical.

Discovered bouldering in my forties, after neglecting my body for years. Fantastic sport, I'm stronger, fitter, and more flexible than I've ever been. It's fun, social, relatively cheap, and way less of a grind than the gym.

I think the key point there is "viable experiments", most digital marketing people I've encountered are not into things like deseasoning, controlling, heck, you say "regression" and they blank. Not accounting for tr

The "think of the children" framing in all these cases troubles me. Adults experience harms from these platforms too. We see problems with addiction, political influence, extremist rabbit-holes, fraud, and yes, buying tonnes of un

The nineties was a very different time. There was generally a lot more goodwill towards America on all fronts, the collapse of the Soviet Union was framed, and in some quarters accepted, as something that would lead to global peace and pros

Ducks suck, Corvids are where it's at. I regularly feed bits of my sandwich to the jackdaws near me, they'll catch it out the air.

I pay for content: gig and cinema tickets, merch and digital albums from artists I like or know. I buy loads of books, magazines, digital and physical games, art I can hang on my wall. I've even started a bit of a CD collection. At tim

The US isn't Rome, it's Constantinople. Rome was Europe, the 20th century was about the colonial appendage achieving supremacy over the former imperial centre. If you want a lesson in what to avoid to maintain dominance, it's

I think this has already happened to some extent, with social media etc. crowding out reading books. Even higher quality stuff like HN pales in comparison with what a good book brings, and it's a daily struggle to keep reading. At leas

I'm really happy to see this turning out the same way as Glass. It's rare we get serious wins over big tech. It's tough to think of something else that's been so roundly societally rejected, not so much as a bad product,

Mate, you ever read a scientific paper? You dig regression? Did you read TFA yourself? Was I wrong?
