  1. Whenever I learn about a new statistical method:

    Do I know what I'm doing?
    - Highly debatable

    Do I hope for the best?
    - 100%

    It's not helping that I need to run things on an #HPC, so my failing forward is hogging resources.

    I sincerely hope #Reviewer2 is not reading my toots, but at least the results look plausible.

  2. Don't tell IT, but I just realized that my #rstats GAM/BAM only used a single core on the #HPC while I requested 128 🫣

    Now I'm up to 4 cores at least, no idea why #mgcv isn't using more.

    I didn't expect it to be this difficult to use more resources.

  3. Dear #ESWC2026 crowd, there is decent Espresso available close to the conference site. At Restaurant & Bar Levanat (5 minutes down the beach promenade) you can enjoy a decent coffee with sea view.

  4. CW: Sexual violence, Iran, academia

    Times Higher Education reports on Donya Ahmadi, whose article on MeToo in Iran in Elsevier's Women’s Studies International Forum is under investigation by the publisher for naming a now-UK-based researcher alleged to be “a serial abuser accused of at least three counts of prolonged sexual and psychological abuse”.
