    People who use homeopathy and other alternative therapies as part of their cancer treatment are twice as likely to die from the disease as those who use conventional medicine alone.

    Why programming language X was right for my project: a post-hoc justification of my social group’s aesthetic preferences framed as an engineering exercise.

    Is it unconstitutional for a public, taxpayer-funded university like Berkeley to screen out candidates for professor positions on the basis that they don't express certain political values in their applications?

    This is honestly kind of insane. Reminiscent of loyalty oaths.

    I have a good metric for language brokenness: the number of different syntax structures that can implement the same semantics. Using this metric, C++ becomes the most broken language ever to exist.

    Arguably it’s racist to assume that those who are underrepresented cannot be inspired by the beauty & logic of mathematics & require anti-empirical & anti-rational ideologies like critical theory to lure them into it

    Folks, stop freaking out about "anti-racist math". If anyone ever does call an actual math theorem "racist", THEN I will get pissed. But as of now, all this is is an attempt to get underrepresented minorities into math by making it clear math isn't just for white people.

    Natural selection builds mechanisms that human engineers still struggle to match. Exhibit A: The neural structures underpinning head stabilization in this hawk. (Head stabilization has the same function as image stabilization in cameras: to maintain a steady view despite motion.)

    I see that they are making A Quiet Place 2. I hope they've caught up with mammalian hearing vs other animal's hearing, energetic masking, and how quite literally the worst thing to do when confronted by a predator who hunts by sound IS GO TO A QUIET PLACE AND TRY TO BE QUIET

    Dictionaries have literally begun to include "figuratively" or "metaphorically," as one of the definitions of "literally." I kid you not. The world needs The Orwelexicon.

    We have tried to change this pattern for 50 years. During those 50 years we have observed no measurable changes. What does that tell us?

    Sex differences in children's toy preferences are among the largest sex differences known to psychology – and the size of the differences hasn't changed in 50 years, despite increasingly gendered toy advertising.

    Tl;dr: we did a study, the results weren’t what we expected, but we continue advocating our stuff anyway.

    Is there evidence for these claims? And if there is, how does that evidence support the specific goals promoted here?

    So legit I had no idea that there are people who don’t have a constant monologue running through their heads!

    Fun fact: some people have an internal narrative and some don't As in, some people's thoughts are like sentences they "hear", and some people just have abstract non-verbal thoughts, and have to consciously verbalize them And most people aren't aware of the other type of person
