Last year this time I was in the southern Hemisphere. forgot how brutal Europe is time of the year. Id give anything for a job that let me work from the south in Dec-Feb and in the UK the rest of the time. I don’t know how else to balance a British partner and need for sunlight

Sad to see the Proteas women lose last night against India. But still super proud of them for making the final and pushing India. A final against India at home was always gonna be a big ask 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

I decided to use the long weekend to port my Bayesplay Bayes factor #rstats package to #python (the R package also powers the General Bayesian tests in JASP). Here’s an example of how to compute a Bayes factor with a normal likelihood and truncated normal prior.

Not only is this crass, it is highly significant. Radosław Sikorski is perhaps the most Atlanticist major politician in Europe. And this is how he is now being publicly treated by US/Musk. They do not want us to be their friends, they do not want us to be their allies.

No better feeling that swiftly dealing with a super complex merge conflict. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened to me… instead I spent the best part of 3 hours struggling with it.

November 12, 1973 --- The day Philosophy & Public Affairs started treating Rawls like Jesus.

A letter on Philosophy & Public Affairs letterhead that reads:

November 12, 1973

Professor Robert Nozick
Department of Philosophy
Emerson Hall
Harvard University
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138

Dear Professor Nozick,

I have been meaning to send you a note ever since you did not telephone the second time last week just to say that I decided after all to drop the offending post-apostrophes from the possessive of Rawls. This is, as I told you, according to the Chicago Manual of Style an honor due only to Moses and Jesus, but with us aesthetic considerations won out. The decision puts us somewhat in a class by ourselves -- I note that in Brian Barry's new book he and Oxford Press write Rawls's -- but I don't mind being different. I trust that you will not.

sincerely，
Margot Cutter

If there’s one thing Tom Curry has successfully managed to do it’s fire up all the racists on twitter. England Rugby might want to take note of that.

Here's the preprint for my final PhD paper, and my first fMRI study! 🧠 We found that dissociable default mode network (DMN) subnetworks support retrieval of contextual and emotional associations, seperately from processing of retrieval demands www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
