This joke goes nuts if you, like me, are the son of a evangelical pastor who became an epidemiologist

New blog post! Odds ratios are...a bit weird. Here I explain two problems (interpretation, non-collapsibility) and provide some simple recommendations for improved reporting. www.the100.ci/2026/07/30/r...

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

Beautiful vintage #infographic on the ceiling & speed of different aircraft (via Reddit bit.ly/4c2bMCs)

Vintage infographic titled "Service ceiling (ft)" plots the service ceiling (maximum altitude) of various aircraft against their maximum speed in miles per hour. The data spans from 1916 to 1963, covering biplanes, monoplanes, and jet aircraft. The trend shows a steady increase in both speed and altitude over time as aviation technology advanced.

Cool study, and I’m convinced they’re generally correct. Very high lizardman quotient in this figure though - if you’re not getting 100% strong agreement that “betting (real money)” is a form of gambling, something is off, and the SVK sample “strong agree” for that item is <50%

behold, we found great variation in how people think! Many activities that we thought would be “gaming” weren't & vice versa, eg half of the participants interpreted ‘gambling’ to be ‘gaming’. Ergo: surveying ‘gaming’ without defining it creates data mess
