Hmm. That's not me :-). might be the other Daniel J. Simons (at Pittsburgh?)

(I also don't review for them for the same reasons)

It used to be a decent journal. Years ago I submitted what I felt was good work and it underwent rigorous review. Haven't gone there for years due to the increasingly iffy approach to review.

It was @cfchabris.bsky.social's blog post by about Dobelli's plagiarism of The Invisible Gorilla in The Art of Thinking (he also cribbed passages from Taleb). Although Chris's blog is down, Dobelli's website lists his "corrections" (www.dobelli.com/book-correct...) @axc.bsky.social

Just 1, actually. Steve most is the only one in the pack who was IN the video.

Looks like it's just those two on Bluesky so far. I have contact info for 4 of the remaining 5, but none are on Bluesky. I'll keep checking periodically in case they show up.

I know two six of the players are here. Not sure about the remaining four or the person in the gorilla suit. Chris and I weren’t actually in the video. I’ll do some digging to see if I can convince any others.

Not sure they’re all on Bluesky yet, but at least a couple of them are :-). Gotta convince the rest of them to make it happen

The github readme has a link to a website that implements their version of statcheck. I don't know if that's the latest version. I didn't play with the actual R package, so maybe it's more robust.

I tried the online version with the pdf knit from a markdown file and it didn’t find any of the F tests that were in APA format. Not sure why.

Possible, but would require some serious lifting, I’d think.

The 2cm drop in the other group is impressive too, especially with a BMI increase at the same time

Loved the book and narration. Your narration sounds like you've been doing it forever, and your voice conveys the subtle humor and distinguishes the characters perfectly. Readers for your other books have been great too, but I'm glad you chose to read this one yourself. Kudos!

Hope so. That and DMs. Those are the biggies for me.

Thanks. I do follow a number of lists. Just miss my ability to curate my own personal (private) lists that meet my own idiosynchratic preferences

I will miss my extensive set of curated (private) lists of experts on law, epidemiology, politics, and many other fields that aren't in my areas of expertise. Many of those folks aren't here yet (soon, I hope), but many had stopped posting there often anyway.

If it's a fixed effects model (FE), then it's a weighted average of the effect sizes (based on N or inverse of variance). Fixed all studies measure the same population effect. Random effects models allow for cross-study heterogeneity due to measuring different population effects.

They discussed the original 10-commandments study in the context of this RRR and the other questions about the original study that came up after the insurance study came to light.

Minor clarification: This registered replication report study was published in 2018. The documentary was more recent (it followed the insurance field study).

Preprint link didn't work. I assume you know about the special section of AMPPS on this topic from 2019 journals-sagepub-com.proxy2.library.illinois.edu/toc/ampa/1/1 No doubt it can use some updating given how fast that literature moves.
