Scoop: For nearly a year, NSF has struggled to make new grants. Now we know that it will not catch up. In fact, NSF will award just 6,100 new grants—a 30% y/o/y decline, itself down from a previous avg. of 11,000+. In fact, the last time NSF awarded so few grants was in the early '80s.

If "basic cognitive psychology research does not align with the current priorities of funding bodies" then there's something wrong with the current priorities of funding bodies.

Here's a weird inconsistency. College students are using AI more and more to do their work, but at the same time are booing when commencement speakers talk about how AI is the future. How do these fit together?

Cool, so NSF is now going to be used to essentially launder money to tech bros because universities are just too cumbersome and disciplinary oversight and regulations and accountability are all just too stifling for innovation. $1.5B for “X-Labs.”

NSF's mission is to advance the progress of science, a mission accomplished by funding proposals for research and education made by scientists, engineers, and educators from across the country.

This test is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). It is a test for mild cognitive impairment due to early Alzheimer’s or aging-related dementia. It is NOT an IQ test. The fact that Trump keeps misunderstanding this is reason for concern and for retesting.

My band is called Aces 38, and I often use an ace of spades as a logo. Got this today at brunch to mark my table... seems auspicious.

Here is the "effective payline" for each institute, estimated (by Claude) as the percentile where one can expect 80% probability of funding from a logistic regression fit. The effective payline has gone from a historic ~12% to 6% in 2025.

I had two thoughts after watching some of the Pam Bondi hearing today. The first is that one of the Senators she insulted and lied to may well be the Attorney General in the future. The other is that although Nixon did not go to prison, his Attorney General did.
