In 2018 I gave a presentation on research data management to a group of graduate students. Not surprisingly, most of the problems and solutions I discussed 7 years ago, are still the same problems and solutions I see today. #databs

Don't Let Your Likert Scales Grow Up To Be Visual Analog Scales: Understanding the Relationship Between Number of Response Categories and Measurement Error
The use of Visual Analog Scales (VAS), which can be broadly conceptualized as items where the response scale is 0-100, has surged recently due to the convenience of digital assessments. However, there...

I really appreciate the number of reasonable posts from super senior developers who talk about how they’re using LLMs, which tasks they’re good for in software dev, and which don’t make sense at all. crawshaw.io/blog/program...

Whole thread has great points, but this particular bit captures it: AI tools simplify (frankly, to an astonishing degree) the fiddly bits of coding, e.g. writing tests, data kludging, etc. but unless you know what you want it to do, and can evaluate it on your own, it’s not magic.

This is going to be like that time that they trained an algorithm to read MRIs and look for tumors, and they got excited by the 99% accuracy, before realizing that all the training images had an arrow pointing to the tumor. They trained an algorithm to read MRIs and look for an arrow.

NO, says the subjectivist Bayesian, it belongs in minds. NO says the die-hard frequentist, it belongs in hypothetical infinite sequences. NO, says the propensity theorist, it belongs in magic metaphysical bullshit. I rejected those answers <curtain opens to reveal Logical Foundations of Probability>
