For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”
- Reading @rfkuang.bsky.social's Babel and in wonder at how timely it is, personally & more broadly. She captures so well the conflicted migrant who imagined technical mastery a route to acceptance. Inadequacy then becomes motivation to be a tool of colonialism, leveraged against one's own community.

- Funny, I made this case Day 1 of my Epi methods class this term and it seems (unfortunately) students' minds were blown. We care about doing it right; the number or plot at the end can't actually tell you whether you've done it right. (Though it might be able to tell you if you did it wrong.)

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

But the vast majority of perpetrators commit violence to seek approval and status from others. This is particularly true among men who use violence to affirm their masculinity.

- It sounds like the Personal Responsibility Con-Men are back in the limelight again. I'm actually hopeful that this narrative can't hold the same power as it did in the 90s. The effects of the billionaire-gov deregulatory axis is too clear, prices too high, choices too few, for people to bite.

- It's amazing how "AI," which give reductive acontextual summaries and wild generalizations, are supposed to replace skilled technicians and expert educators, but somehow they can't stem the tide of new associate deans, chief executives, and external consultants... Huh. Funny that.

- Reposted by Jon HuangWhen there is a random way to do something, there is a less random way that is better but requires more thought. In this case, regression models that make no sense don't belong in a multiverse analysis. An inferential regression without a causal justification is like an opinion without reasons.
