Excellent 🧵 countering uncritical adoption of AI status quo

Random note: the term "metacognition" is typically attributed to John Flavell (1976). As I just found out, this is not true. It was likely first coined by Lila Gleitman et al (1972), as seen in this beautiful quote:

John Flavell, a giant of developmental psychology, who introduced the study of metacognition, died peacefully at age 96. www.amacad.org/person/john-...

Random thought, but if they save it, I'd really like to see the Wahl-O-Mat data. Like how frequently the statements are chosen vs. rejected, and what topics people weigh as most important.

Why does @weare.rladies.org have less than 1000 followers? We can do better than this #rstats folks. It is a terrific account to follow because every week not only we get to know a new member of the #RLadies community but we also get to read their R favorites, tips, and jokes.

Happy Marie Skłodowska Curie Rejection Day for those who celebrate!🤓 And for those selected, first, congrats! second, tell me your secrets 🧐

convo that made me ponder

- If you accepted to have a more superficial understanding, you wouldn't have this problem.
- "Superficial" and "understanding" don't make sense next to each other. It's an oxymoron.
- Exactly, that's your problem.

Fav sentence of the day: "Reviewers will see your study and say, I'm not studying that shit, it's already 11pm, everyone else is sleeping and nobody pays me"

I'll leave this quote anonymous

There's this phenomenon where you're surprised by a tiny inconsistency for a fraction of a second, but forget about it right away. You automatically discarded it as noise. Later turns out it was important. Only then you remember the inconsistency. I wonder how often this happens?

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.
