Is the scientific paper a fraud? Peter Medawar (Nobel Prize winner) suggested that publications are overly structured and formal, giving only a sanitized version of the discovery without revealing the thought process that actually led to it.

Recently I heard the word chartist for the first time in 57 years. Then within the same day, I heard it again. What are the chances? I used Bayes's theorem and a large corpus of English words to find out. allendowney.com/blog/2024/11/1…

I spent 12 years at Amazon in leadership, and I spent 12 years repeatedly fighting off efforts to measure (and improve) our engineer's efficiency. Below is my general view.

Honest reflections from coding with AI so far as a non-engineer: It can get you 70% of the way there, but that last 30% is frustrating. It keeps taking one step forward and two steps backward with new bugs, issues, etc. If I knew how the code worked I could probably fix it

There's this evergreen joke on software development that goes something like this: "We're done with 90% of the project. Which means we only have the other 90% left to go." It's funny because it's true. It's also why experienced engineers are in-demand: they are the "finishers."

My book, An Intuitive Primer on Effective Functional Genomics Study Design, is published! I’d really appreciate it if you could help spread the word, and I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. It’s available on Amazon: tinyurl.com/mx2hewen

This by Sam Rodriques laments the (anticipated) failure of models trained on large datasets to reproduce "real biology discoveries" like those found in Science and Nature. While he sees this as a problem, I COULD NOT DISAGREE MORE. That foundational models don't (and God help us

#rstats little known trick, you can get the iteration index in lapply(), purrr::map and other looping functions, it's just `parent.frame()$i`. Use this just for debugging, it's not documented so no guarantee to have it work forever (though it has been working since forever).
