Need less statistical studies, more ethnographies. This is a study on how people trust NASAs Chief code generator.

@davidthewid would like to add that kindness sometimes boils down to personality fit. For example, you may have an advisor who "kindly" tries to tell you exactly how to do every little step in your research. You may appreciate it because you are that kind of person. Or it may kill your soul because you're not.

a bunch of my friends are choosing between PhD programs. here's my advice to them:

it is FAR more important to work with someone who is kind, than someone who does exactly the research you want to do or is at a prestigious institution.

Finally got around to setting up moa (moa.party/). Let's see if this toot syncs to Mastodon.

@the_transit_guy cars are horribly wasteful but we're trapped by a whole bunch of ratchets + already-in-power political groups to keep using them in most places and that sucks

@pee_zombie too many go to college, too many drop out, to the point where it doesn't say much. I guess it says that you're drawn from a distribution with higher mean vs highschool grass & higher variance vs college grads?

If you need life advice you should talk to PhD dropouts.

Getting in there means they're smart. Dropping out means they're wise.

@the_transit_guy I love your posts but I hate twitter. There's this bot that automatically connects twitter to mastodon. Check out @pee_zombie for an example!

@WomanCorn a long time ago I learned that a ton of boardgames originated in Germany and adjacent areas, and I'm guessing something similar is going on with card games

"Ugh I dug my own bed and now I have to lie in it..."

"So you're saying you don't have enough eyespace and mindroom for this?"
