I want to know everyone's experiences publishing in: * MDPI journals * Hindawi journals * Frontiers journals Not stories about what you heard, please, but your literal experience. what happened to you. Editors of said journals particularly welcome. RT this. A lot.

Congratulations to Durk Kingma and Max Welling for winning the inaugural ICLR Test of Time Award for their amazing work on Auto-Encoding Variational Bayes, the paper that proposed Variational Autoencoders! arxiv.org/abs/1312.6114

How and why does the highly adaptive lasso break the "curse of dimensionality"?! 1/🧵

The number of people, including renowned philosophers and scientists, who think that because mathematical description is occasionally scientifically useful the phenomena described *literally consist in mathematics* continues to baffle me.

Good morning. At some point this summer, perhaps quite soon, AI at Meta will be releasing a LLaMA-3 model with 400B parameters. It will likely be the strongest open-source LLM ever released by a wide margin. This is a thread about how to run it locally. 🧵

Philosophers: did we like this paper?

Hello friends and foes are you ready for some effect size standardisation discourse well too bad because you're getting it anyway! (unless you scroll away please don't) Quick thread on a new commentary-like preprint with Protzko @protzko.bsky.social, Daniël Lakens, Malte Elson, & Ruben C. Arslan

It's out in Psychological Review! In this paper, we propose a method for testing whether theories explain empirical phenomena. Thanks Riet van Bork, Adam Finnemann, @JonasHaslbeck, Han, Jill, Jan Sprenger, and @DennyBorsboom for making this possible! tinyurl.com/52h6e42f

You know what’s nice about meta-analysis studies? They’re perfect. There is just nothing wrong that can go there and every single one is pure, informative, impact. In this new preprint, we valiantly sought to falsify this universally held belief. 1/7
