Hayes has been banging this drum about idionomic analyses for 6+ years, with folk like @jamiecummins.bsky.social pointing out that its reinventing-the-wheel-but-worse for just as long. My experience is that the ACT community is insufficiently interested and aware of existing methods+stats work.

My lukewarm take is that when people disagree about whether LLMs can do X (be it reasoning, creativity, etc), the substantive disagreement is really about what X means, rather than about LLMs themselves. Aka Wittgenstein was right

🚨 New preprint: In this paper we make the case for measuring social media use at the level of naturally occurring sessions (i.e., beginning when the app/site is opened and ending when it is closed). Across 7 days and 161 participants this gave us nearly 4,000 paired sessions of use 🧵

Depicts the data collection process. 1) participant opens TikTok, 2) open survey is prompted, 3) participant uses TikTok as normal, 4) participant closes TikTok, 5) close survey is prompted
