  That’s stupid, though. If you can explain 11% of the variance of some noisy phenomenon like cognitive and behavioral flexibility, that’s noteworthy. They tested both linear and quadratic terms, and the quadratic one worked better in terms of prediction, and is also an expression of a meaningful theoretical model, rather than just throwing higher polynomials at it for the fun of it. Quadratic here also would coincide with some homogenizing mechanism at the two ends of the age distribution.

  How do you think a case of “this explains some of the differences in the population, but not a lot” should look?

  And that looks potentially fine for an error bar. For a mean estimate, SE=SD/√N , so depending on what error band they used this looks quite plausible.

  Good for them.

  Sure, I’d call it probably zoology, but whatever, “animals” counts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i 💚 animals.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Psychology is a fun science, but we get a lot of students who don’t get that they signed up to study a science rather than for getting a degree in holding hands and going “there, there”.

  I don’t think you’re engaging in good faith here, not sure why. For what it’s worth, in your example, the negotiation of rules with the goal of consensus finding and avoidance of unjust exertion of power plays a major role in anarchist practices. Anomic states of existence and anarchic ones are far apart. The former leads to kings and conquest, the latter to tedious discussions about minutiae of daily existence.

  There are reasons why anarchist groups are hard to infiltrate by cops

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a problem with Bioshock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anarchism is full of rules and laws, though. Arguably, one aspect of anarchism is replacing rulers with rules as far as possible, but that’s possibly a contentious phrasing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a problem with Bioshock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You might wanna read up slightly on this, you’re quite far away from the consensus meaning of anarchism. While superficial, you could start with the first three paragraphs of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a problem with Bioshock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anarchism

  1: a political theory holding all forms of governmental authority to be unnecessary and undesirable and advocating a society based on voluntary cooperation and free association of individuals and groups

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a problem with Bioshock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not anarchism you’re describing, maybe you’re thinking of "anarcho"capitalism?

  James was more of a psychologist and along with Wundt founded the current field of psychology.

  Either way, Freud’s not it

  Bu that’s not Emil Kraepelin in the picture, the guy in the picture is Ziggy Freud

  Some other ways: -Take a piece of paper and a pencil and draw it, take a picture of the drawing -Find a picture of a tree and toilets and paste them onto each other in paint, paint.net, krita, or whatever

  Even if it looks like shit, it’ll still: -look better -be better -make you better at it

  That’s when you should expect it more. Mistaking what is and isn’t a threat creates danger, also for the family, that needn’t be there.

  This is on a post about chatgpt use. Chatgpt is from the set of llms, which is a subset of ai.

  Ai is cool. The current batch of LLMs/PISS can leave.

  AI != LLM

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fears for patient safety as GPs use ChatGPT to diagnose and treat illness⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never said AI = bad. AI is much broader and contains worthwhile and non-plagiarized approaches.

  If it’s worth doing, do it properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fears for patient safety as GPs use ChatGPT to diagnose and treat illness⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  They need to lose their licenses.

  Everyone anywhere using one on the job should be fired, but medical personnel is endangering people.
