Some article proofing sites were deliberately created with the intention of making the process as uncomfortable as possible. There is simply no other explanation for still having to disable ad blockers in 2026 or being told “under no circumstances should you reload the page.”

Mehr Kassensitze führen kaum zu reduzierten Wartezeiten, schwer belastete Fälle kommen trotzdem deutlich schwerer an einen Therapieplatz. Es braucht daher andere Instrumente:
🧵 New WP with @kaimiele.bsky.social. We document 2 unsettling patterns in mental health care: 1) despite universal coverage, few individuals with mental illness receive guideline-consistent treatment, and 2) the more severe the illness, the lower the treatment uptake & the longer the wait times. 1/n

Every non-hype defense of LLMs starts with "you must already understand your work really well."
Vibe coding isn't being done by those people. It's being done by execs who are making a prototype because it is now easy to do.
This kills the systems of intention and maintenance necessary for good UX.

Vibe prototyping isn't solving problems. It's creating new ones.
It's easy to prototype and so everyone is prototyping, without really knowing why they are doing it. The resultant noise drowns out thoughtful work.

There's a lot of buzz about Christian revival among young adults in the UK & US. Perceptions of revival are fueled by results from opt-in online surveys. However, these surveys may be misleading. Surveys from random samples of the population don't show any clear evidence of revival.

You can specify relative position in ggplot with I(x) I(y).
E.g. annotate("text", x = I(.5), y = I(.5), label = "hello!") will place the text in the middle of the plot.
This, combined with alignment arguments is like 87% of the magic for me.

Most of psychotherapy research is progress, not innovation. This review concludes that small, incremental benefits can arise from it:

- Personalization can improve response rates.
