In the Faroe Islands lots of our gen kids (in my acquired family) were given coffee just before bed time 🫪 as in Italian kid instead I did get a raw egg to drink fresh from the ass of a chicken every morning I was at my gran🤷🏽

A fabulous person is coming to the tenure-track job market soon - Dr Mieke Slim. I've had a blast working with Mieke & learned so much about how children might acquire abstract language!

Maybe I’ve been spoiled by moesgaard museum, they get it, but stories are the most powerful communication means.

Is a sense of narrative. Yes years and facts are neat, but tell me stories. Make it clear it’s speculative, but make me walk w the plebs going to the colosseum and hear their day and voices, take me along the senator while making a deal in his private spa. Is it so hard to get stories are w we care?

While in Rome I took the kids to a bunch of augmented reality experiences (just buildings and broken ruins are a tad too much for them). You can do surprising things w relatively simple tech, and reliably working is vastly better than fancy but laggy or crashing. BUT what they all lack

room? will the bus be on time? will people freaking move from the wheelchair area? will the driver stop long enough to dismount? will cars be badly parked so that we'll need to physically carry the wheelchair? So much kudos to all who do that on the regular.

I grew up with a sister on a wheelchair, so I am quite used to the patience and resistance to frustration needed. But recently I had to be the one planning a trip to rome relying on public transportation. The stress on being the one responsible for things I couldn't really control: will there be

to be fair, I think that some of the more trad humanists claiming these are ideas are not new (solid!), do not make the effort to either look at the resistances of llms to the theories to make theories better, or draw some novel implications and directions from the theories

… Systematic use of informed studies leads to more precise, but more biased estimates. Critically comparison of informed and skeptical priors can provide more nuanced and solid understanding of our findings.

Riccardo Fusaroli @fusaroli.eurosky.social · 03/10/2026

ah! I now checked the github issues and I can see that it's about mean vs median, as I highlighted in my issue (suggesting that the skewed t uses the mode instead). But I can see the consistency point, hmm, not sure if the best solution is a second exgaussian, or a tutorial w custom families.

Oh yeah I remember reading that, thanks for the reminder! Have you added an issue to brms ? (Not at my computer today). I’d be also happy to help figuring out how to port it to brms once I’m done w this grant

Riccardo Fusaroli @fusaroli.eurosky.social · 02/10/2026

Yeps, that’s what I used. The exgaussian does fine for the tails, but it severely underestimates the peak at 50-80ms

We have made a user-friendly python package `envisionboxbio-apetrack` that combines several tools (Owlv2, ByteTrack, OpenApePose) to track multiple apes without any labeling or finetuning. Check it out: `pip install envisionboxbio-apetrack` github.com/WimPouw/envi...

What would you want to see in a textbook (free, online, jupyter/marimo style) about quantitative/computational approaches for analyzing naturalistic social interactions (e.g., face-to-face conversations)? I'm in the early phases of drafting one and would value external input on its audience's needs.

Random little investigation I saw that Claude Opus 5.5 can now create quite appealing "science explainer" shorts as one-shot prompt: "Pick a problem or mystery that obsesses you and solve it as best you can & make a movie we can share on social media about it" So I wondered where info came from?

and to be super clear, in case we go there: yes, RCTs are amazing. No, RCTs cannot carry the whole burden of science. Even when assessing effectiveness & side effects of drugs, we need multiple approaches (e.g. pharmacovigilance on messy and confounded spontaneous reports of adverse drug reactions).

Science is hard, we should all work hard to do it better, & we should all help each other (also) with methodological developments and tutorials. However, this is an endless endeavor with no one solution. To translate a collective tentative striving into one normative framework seems disingenuous

on my second to last day of the trip, I decided I would run 20 km along the Sein and back. I was very proud of myself, my first 20km and I didn't even hurt in any specific place. Then in the afternoon I arrogantly decided to suddenly sprint across the street as the traffic light turned red.

I often wondered whether funders themselves should provide a checklist (one of the few cases where I think checklists would be useful for research). I know we should be good at close readings, but sometimes the formal aspects are so pointless my mind skims over them.
