@VidkunQL Год назад

For many years I believed that apes could learn to speak ASL. It was taught as fact from my childhood to very recently; I saw video and everything. I think it was only within the last year that I heard someone express serious doubt about it, and that was all it took to get me to _really think_ about it and conclude that they almost certainly can't. This is a good example of a failure to be rational and listen to nagging doubts, because it had always seemed strange to me that apes had the ability to learn sign language but didn't have a sign language of their own in the wild. My best guess was that language wasn't very useful to them in the wild -- ah, but then why have the ability? My best guess was that the ability was a side effect of some other mental ability which _was_ vital in the wild. And I had read about Clever Hans. And I _still_ didn't take that last step and realize that Koko the Gorilla was a latter-day Clever Hans. The only thing I can say to my own credit is that once I saw that what I had believed wasn't true and that I'd been a fool, I accepted that news easily and didn't blow a lot of smoke.

In their classic textbook "Heat and Mass Transfer", authors Eckert and Drake included a "postface" at the end. A professor of mine at Purdue handed me the book, and told me to read the postface. It was...well...kind of bizarre. Very stilted writing, seemingly contrived - but to what end? My professor (J.R. Osborn, who earned the scorn of the rest of the faculty because he "never grew up") smiled at me impishly as I read the book with increasing puzzlement. Finally he told me "Look at the first letter of every paragraph." Sure enough, when you strung them all together they spelled out "On Wisconsin" - the slogan of the University of Wisconsin's (Eckert and Drake's alma mater) football team. J.R. appreciated stuff like that. That's one reason he was my favorite professor.

That bit about the MRI is true, and I found this out personally. I had an injury, and a doctor told me the MRI results showed I needed surgery. Decided to get a second opinion, and was told I didn't. I then discovered that the doctors were taking the opinions given by technicians. The doctors themselves couldn't interpret MRIs. Further research disclosed that technicians often disagree with what an MRI shows. I got a copy of the scan to see if I could figure it out, and it's nothing but different ranges of shadows, and images of stuff that isn't even there, like the little stars of light showing in several places. Turns out it's pure guess work in many cases, especially when examining soft tissue.

An other favorite is the inclusion of Lorito's Steinlaus in the Pschyrembel Medical Dictionary in Germany many years ago. The follow up edition removed the entry, leading to much protest. It has been included ever since.

Back in the 70s while I was a Computer Science student we were shown a "study" out of Cornell that revealed that heavily commented source code was a health risk. Heavily commented source code listings were ground up and fed to rats...

I really enjoyed reading some off the papers generated by Peter Boghossian’s team. Scary that the reviewers published them.

@d.m.collins1501 Год назад

Yeah, but the whole thing about how "this proves woke culture has gone too far!" is complete horse crap. They submitted far more papers that were NOT published before getting a few published, and even then only after toning down their language and obfuscating the point. And then a year before they were even done with their "experiment" and had intended to reveal the hoax, someone in the field immediately recognized that something wasn't right about these papers, and they were outed. So it seems like the system KIND of WORKS: the submission process filtered out most of the crap, and then the rest was caught within months and retracted. Compare that to computer science, where three MIT kids got tons of hoax papers published that were written by an algorithm that were FAR more spurious, and yet they weren't caught out for years. Or the physicist who published a fraudulent paper in semiconductors and could have been up for a Nobel Prize before being finally caught years later. Can we really say this is a problem specific to "woke" social science publications? It's not hard to publish a fraudulent paper if you're trying hard enough, and that's not great. And it's fun to have it pointed out again. But it has nothing to do with "woke" culture and isn't specific to gender critical studies or whatever Boghossian's team was trying to imply. And the proof there is that they didn't even TRY to use a control group. They only submitted woke-leaning papers. They didn't try submitting anti-SJW gobbledygook papers, much less neutral papers or papers in other fields, to see if they TOO would have been accepted at a similar rate (I bet they would have!). If they were truly concerned with making sure studies about race and gender "get it right" then they would have looked at it from all sides.

Firstly, of course congrats on the 500k+! Secondly, your video caused me to set a reminder to go back and double check the dates on various papers I've downloaded from arXiv... Tend to look at categories and download stuff that might be interesting to read later, now worried some of them may have been published 31/3-1/4. 😅

@StorytellerStudios Год назад

Two years ago, I read a medical study stating (paraphrase) "no correlation could be found regarding subject's exercise and nutritional status with lower blood pressure in the males of this study". What might have been the issue her? The researchers had studied only 5 men in total!

@gabrielthomas844 Год назад

Congratulations, well done. Sometimes the fun aspect in stem areas works differently. I submitted a paper to a journal proposing the use of non contact ultrasound to avoid using large quantities of ultrasound gel. It was rejected as one reviewer was concerned about how much gel we were using. The review process can be a source of comedy, but I wonder if this will affect the view of the general public. STEM has taken a reputational hit during these times.
