Anyways, sorry for the rambling and the cringe. TL;DR: April Tyack was brilliant and awesome, and I miss her a sh*t ton. (17/n)

Rieko Kodama, also known as Phoenix Rie, has passed away.
She was a major designer for the Phantasy Star series, directing IV, and produced several games including Skies of Arcadia. She will be greatly missed.

so here's a story
I volunteer helping seniors with their technology issues. One of my regulars came in with a Lenovo laptop. It still had a retail sticker; I imagine she bought it used, for over $500
"I bought this so recently, how is it already so slow," she asked me
Quote Tweet
The saddest thing for me about modern tech’s long spiral into user manipulation and surveillance is how it has just slowly killed off the joy that people like me used to feel about new tech. Every product Meta or Amazon announces makes the future seem bleaker and grayer. 1/n

There's a baffling tendency to remake games of particularly impenetrable visual aesthetics. Panzer Dragoon, Final Fantasy VII, Shadow of the Colossus, Demon's Souls or Silent Hill 2 are all paradigmatic of how true visual magnificence can comfortably endure technical antiquation.

I read: Engelbart's "Mother of all Demons" -- disappointed upon realising my mistake

It's a mistake to think that inference is supposed to be exclusively a function of data. That's not what science is about. That's not the point of doing research. Every time these studies come out, I'm baffled at both the motivation behind them and the reactions they get.

Theory matters. Models matter. Assumptions and assumption violations matter. Methods are not equivalent in their assumptions or statistical guarantees. We do not make inference in a vacuum. That's also why reproducibility doesn't mean what people think it means. All in the paper.

Thinking this is scary suggests to me that the wrong message is taken here. As we said in our recent preprint, scientists do not understand experiments. That seems to be the bigger issue.
Quote Tweet
New preprint
“The logical structure of experiments lays the foundation for a theory of reproducibility”
In which we show why meaningful replications need to be based on deeper theoretical understanding and stronger empirical foundations.

What's strange is that it's supposed to be surprising/problematic that we arrive at different results under different models making different assumptions, using different methods that also make different assumptions. It's almost as if our inference depends on the model/method.
Quote Tweet
Scary: 73 teams tested the same hypotheses with the same data. Some found negative results, some positive, some nada. No effect of expertise or confirmation bias. "Idiosyncratic researcher variability is a threat to the reliability of scientific findings." osf.io/preprints/meta
