Problem: manually typing page and line numbers when reviewing. And for some reason the line numbers NEVER line up with the actual text.
Solutions?: Should I annotate the pdf directly with comments? Copy and past the text I'm referring to?
This sucks for authors too. Why are we still doing it?

New paper out about how the nervous system allows us to discriminate different frequencies of vibration on the skin. "Contribution of remote Pacinian corpuscles to flutter-range frequency discrimination in humans". www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧵 1/8 🚨 New #preprint alert! 🚨 This new study by @gershbrain.bsky.social and I is the first to directly test the predictions of our policy compression model, which describes how capacity-limited agents trade reward for simpler policies to reduce cognitive cost psyarxiv.com/rnz72

The brief version is going to be sth like: to compare effects you have to *assume* that sth (responses, variances, whatever) is commensurable and that may lead to any sort of effect size calculation, but the default of just standardizing almost seems designed to hide those assumptions.

As I keep reading about this, I think I’ve stumbled on a fault line in the literature I didn’t really know was there. Warren really doesn’t think affordances feature in the control of action, beyond selecting the action mode!
Do Affordances Select or Control Actions? Apparently, this is more contentious than I thought, and in this blog post I note some links in the literature that have explained this to me
Do Affordances Select or Control Actions?
I've been working for a while to connect the perception of affordances to motor abundance methods such as the uncontrolled manifold. I propo...

Sweden's new national guidelines for open science a disappointment, writes Gustav Nilsonne. They don't add anything new, the goals are too vague, can't be evaluated and no one has real responsibility. Researchers need support and resources to change habits. unt.se/debatt/artik... (in Swedish).

The quotes from Nature EiC Magdalena Skipper about whether journals should be checking for errors/data quality as part of peer review are quite surprising to me.
