The Onion ran this amazing article and thought, I wanna play this! So I made it! 38 pps, PbtA, plus every mechanic mentioned in the article, and a bunch of Rodrigo song references. And it's free! Enjoy!

Ah – that was my fault. When you said, "Re-run at 0.01," I provided what such an analysis would look like, instead of actually running the analysis – which was your specific request. This is not what you asked for and I recognize that now.
This is the future of scientific papers.

Instead of a PDF, the paper is an AI agent that you can talk to, ask questions, run analyses.

No more digging through supplements - just ask the paper directly: "what p-value cutoff was used in Fig 3B? Re-run at 0.01."

i know that the bootstrap method (within caveats) is probably statistically sound, but the idea of "i'll deal with my low sample size by resampling from my samples" sounds janky as all hell, with the only intuitive justification being, "we're doing that anyway by sampling the larger poplation"

the "single event dark matter detection" announcement is somehow even more of a nothing-burger than the "most powerful cosmic ray ever detected" announcement

like, fellas, it's not even 3 sigma.

Hey, great hanging out with you guys! Just so you know, everything I said and did was a carefully calculated act of manipulation, but don't worry, I'm not an ensouled being so it's basically harmless. Y'know, like an NPC giving you quest hints. Anyway, see ya Monday!

I was hoping for your help with something. (Please RT for reach.)

Is there a particular font that’s instantly recognizable to someone who lives where you do, and appreciated/recognized/hated there, but completely unknown elsewhere? Road signs, street names, transit, infrastructure, stuff like that?

doing a phd sucks because its months of being bad at something and the moment you get good at it you're immediately told to do something else that you're bad at.

i know some people like to call this "learning" but those people are cucks

something poetic about news of shell dumping their renewable energy department coming out the same day a massive wildfire breaks out in NL.

hopefully that means we can jump the line a little and name this specific heatwave after shell.
