Bluesky Wrapped

Against my better instincts, I have written some notes on how human probability judgements work and what you should expect from surveys that ask people to guess what proportion of the population is transgender. I hope never to speak of this matter again

in my post-academic era i have become extremely scathing of the way academia considers papers to the primary outcome of intellectual work, and refuses to give credit to academics who write software or build other tooling. in industry we very rarely read your papers; but we always use your software

while i can understand not wanting to comment on every case, it necessarily means that users start asking questions about why sarah kendzior cops a suspension but jesse singal does not. opaque and inconsistent moderation does not inspire trust, nor does it foster safety.
