half of the shitty things reported by science sleuths are from SR. I see too many lately to be just one going through accidentaly. It is more of a system

scientific report is just a cashing system. It is not doing anything anymore related to science since years

Horizontal interval with dots chart showing the probability ranges assigned by survey respondents to 19 vague probability expressions, from "Almost No Chance" to "Will Happen". For each row shows the 50%, 80%, and 95% intervals of responses alongside the median. Terms at the extremes show more tight agreement while middle terms like "Realistic Possibility" and "Might Happen" show wide variation across respondents.

Yes please!

A screenshot from Sims 4 Studio showing a custom blue t-shirt with a large ggplot2 hex sticker logo on the chest, alongside a framed version of Minard’s chart (the famous visualization of Napoleon’s 1812 Russian campaign) displayed as a wall painting in the object preview window.

Started playing Sims 4 a couple weeks ago. Surprised there’s no #rstats or #dataviz CC out there, so I’m on it!

Bonjour à tous, je viens de terminer le site casier-politique.fr

C'est une base de données des condamnations des élu·e·s de la république, classés par parti politique, année et délit.

Merci de partager et de me faire vos retours !

For me: I did not find anywhere how to do proper and efficient non-equi merges, merge updates, or grouping operations during merge

Makes sense.
I guess you should see the same in Spain, were similar crackdown occurred in 2010

My god, if the person who invented the pie chart curve starts looking into snake waffles ....

Ho wahou.
What happend 2001? Is it the same in other occidental countries ?

dear #Rstats #dataviz and #ggplot ninja, dear @coulmont.bsky.social , here is the next challenge

The threat of analytic flexibility in using large language models to simulate human data: A call to attention Social scientists are now using large language models to create "silicon samples" - synthetic datasets intended to stand in for human respondents, aimed at revolutionising human subjects research. How...

@jamiecummins.bsky.social wrote some things about silicon samples that are worth reading:

I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

I am soooooo Happy that Dianna managed to start back making video. Her smile when speaking about physics is a gift.

For those who don't know her, she is a wonderfull physics communicator who suffered violent post-COVID, that got her in bed . During. 3 . years.

maybe ask chatGPT ?

Scientific datasets are riddled with copy-paste errors Initial results from scanning through Excel files belonging to 600 published scientific papers.

If you want to take your mind off awful politics and look at awful science stuff instead, this is a good read: www.sciencedetective.org/scientific-d...

This and gganotation are life savors

The canvas() function from the ggview R package is very useful for previewing/tweaking a ggplot into publication-ready format: it renders a plot "as it would appear if saved to a file with the specified dimensions".
