So many nonsense ad hoc pipelines could be prevented by requiring that they work on synthetic data.
I tend to think of experiments as special cases of inference, since most of the problems I work on cannot be studied in experiments. But I get that many researchers see experiments as base analogy.

"Validate With Simulated Truth: A first habit is to test whether an analytical pipeline can recover known conditions."
Very good advice below. So much COVID nonsense (e.g. 'immunological dark matter') basically came down to a non-identifiable model that hadn't been properly tested.

Modelling Like an Experimentalist
Dahlin et al. (2024) apply experimental thinking to a model of mosquito-borne disease transmissions.

Unspent funds from government ministries in 2025, ad-hoc government borrowing, and front-loading loans whose disbursements are currently scheduled throughout 2026 could contribute to a buffer early next year, a top Ukrainian official told the Kyiv Independent.

O tom quase ASCOM da matéria salta à tela, além da hipocrisia dos "big wigs" do banco. Contrataram as pessoas sob um modelo de trabalho e de repente de modo ad hoc fazem estas mudanças. Obviamente que muitos funcionários vão chiar.

I probably won't share a ton of this as it's largely just going to be a case of me reproducing an existing typeface, but hopefully I'll be able to expand on it in some fun and useful ways, like adding extensive ligatures & interlocking letters, etc.

It may surprise some that the Marine Corps had no organized garrison units, company sized or larger, ready for deployment before 1899.
Prior to this all deployments were of ad hoc units pulled from the rosters of various barracks guarding navy yards.

Recently I acted as a go-between for a BBC radio producer that needed to interview someone for a programme. I got in touch with an ad hoc team of experts, the producer was clearly amenable to our position, we got an expert, but the programme was shit. That’s the job of the BBC editor.

Unbequeme Wahrheit: Putin ist in der Lage, uns ad hoc, zu jedem möglichen nicht vergangenen Zeitpunkt, einen Bündnisfall zu bescheren. In der Ukraine kämpft die russische Armee nicht vollzählig. Im Gegenteil. 2028 ist genauso eine Beruhigungspille wie 2031.

If I had more time today, I would make a thread of published nonsense ad hoc pipelines. So just one: the 1985 hot hand fallacy paper by Gilovich et al justified its bogus estimator with nothing but intuition. It was 30 years before someone bothered to check it with synthetic data/analysis.

Much of the left has taught itself that politics is a game of competitive ritual cleanliness, where it’s immediately legitimate to construe a bad vote or association as a load bearing & constitutive flaw in the candidate/project, provided they were already suspicious of said candidate/project

Partly Bidens fault to not let proper primary election happen and therefore send in ad-hoc Harris with a bad campaign. Also fully ignoring that vice presidents of unpopular administrations hardly have chance to win. If democrats would have done better, Trump wouldn't have won in the first place.

After bringing the location inventory, I came up with something that can hopefully dm itself somewhat reasonable without me being there, using the quest-via-emoji system I learned from the ARA people.
Let's see how it goes.

Simply announce that because Chicago is indeed as crime-ridden as Trump says it is, any ad hoc militias who rise up and start killing ICE, Bongino etc. will by necessity have to become low priority for arrests and convictions while Chicago is busy "fighting crime".
