Said another way, it should be equally embarrassing for Elsevier to publish a fair peer review as it is for the authors.

Fully agree. Unfortunately I get the sense that even among advocates (including TTCriders) this is a fairly controversial statement.

Or if there is 2 rows of racks, give a reward for docking in the further row, rather than the closest one.

It’s a key part of Project Zero.

Anything but cell phones or direct extensions is insulting.

I think part of the problem is that what frequently gets called pneumonia may be a bronchiectasis exacerbation, especially when respirology is involved. The radiologists don’t always call bronchiectasis on the CT scan, so it is helpful to know what to look for.

It’s heartbreaking to see how little they care about allowing specialists to practice in smaller cities. This will then be used as an excuse for why we need private healthcare.

I never found scrubs to be accurate to medical residency though that’s what everyone says. I quit after the first 2 or so seasons. I just remember watching them hypersexualize a drug rep and not being able to watch any more.

Also calling little boys heartbreakers is hella weird.

FWIW I am a fan of your content because it's not like most other science channels. It's hard to do science communication on YouTube but I've really enjoyed what your videos. It sucks that YouTube/viewers are lumping you with people who don't like science.

Get better soon! And may you spend your time enjoying many a everything cruffin

Let’s be real here, Trump wouldn’t stand to the same scrutiny as they’re holding Cook to.

Thanks for writing it, and the rest of Statistical Rethinking. It encourages me to strive to be better.

Is it weird to recommend @rmcelreath.bsky.social’s Horoscopes chapter from Statistical Rethinking? It obviously has a much greater effect after reading the rest of SR, but I think it stands alone well. It always makes me feel hopeful and optimistic.

Maybe I’m being naive, but in 2025 how does knowledge of an exposure change management (other than exposure avoidance, which we would probably do for everyone, whether their BIP is idiopathic or secondary to an exposure)

@ttcriders.bsky.social How can we get it so that our traffic lights know when a train is coming and minimizes/avoids red lights for trains? Is there a way that this could be implemented as well?

Josh, this is an implicit assumption in all frequentist statistics. Thinking of the null hypothesis obscures this, but I promise that this is what’s underlying all MLE based stats.
August 14, 2025 at 3:02 PM
Josh, you can use a non-informative prior with Bayesian stats if you want to show the likelihood distribution. With non-informative priors, Bayesian statistics are basically the same as frequentist. But there’s a lot of strength in priors if there is prior information, in inducing shrinkage, etc.
August 14, 2025 at 1:03 PM
Hey Josh, do you have any examples of Bayesian analyses that use overly optimistic priors? I have not seen the phenomena you describe in the literature.
August 14, 2025 at 12:48 PM
Certainly! To get ChatGPT to work against you in this analysis I suggest implementing the following R code. Would you like me to write it in python?
