A quotation from Gracian

Few bothersome things are important enough to bother with. It is folly to take to heart what you should turn your back on. Many things that were something are nothing if left alone, and others that were nothing turn into much because we pay attention to them.
 
[Pocas cosas de enfado se han de tomar de propósito, que sería empeñarse sin él. Es trocar los puntos tomar a pechos lo que se ha de echar a las espaldas. Muchas cosas que eran algo, dejándolas, fueron nada; y otras que eran nada, por haber hecho caso de ellas, fueron mucho.]

Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601–1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 121 (1647) [tr. Maurer (1992)]

Liikuntapsykologian professori Noora Ronkainen Bernistä pohti merkitykselliyys-juttuja, Jyväskylän liikuntapedagogiikan apulaisprofessori Mikko Huhtiniemi mm. liikuntakokemuksia, ja toimittaja Jaro Asikainen oli pedannut foorumin oivallisesti lähes kliseittä.

It must be very hard to publish null results https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:zbw:i4rdps:281&r=&r=cmp
"Most of the statistical tests … are severely Underpowered … implies that the majority of null hypothesis significance tests we run should yield #nullResults. Yet, the published literature tells a very different story.
… central mechanism behind this gap is selection on #significance, a filter that makes statistically significant estimates more likely to appear in print than null results.
… published estimates are afflicted by a “winner’s curse” that biases them away from zero, researchers commit more Type I error, metaanalyses become unreliable, and published studies are less likely to be replicable. When null results remain hidden in the file drawer, researchers may waste time and money studying the same ineffective interventions over and over
… share of pure null results is extremely small: fewer than 2% of abstracts report only null findings. By contrast, over 90% of articles that rely on statistical methods prominently claim to reject at least one null hypothesis.
… estimates that are statistically distinguishable from zero must be at least one order of magnitude more likely to appear in print than null results. Arguably more realistic assumptions can easily produce magnitudes of selection on significance around 100x"

🎨 Ah yes, let's celebrate #Onfim, the #medieval #Banksy before birch bark was cool. Because nothing screams "historical significance" like some kid's scribbles surviving Soviet digs. 📜 Who knew #doodles were the true legacy of medieval literacy? 🏇

Kahdesta leikkauksesta tuskallisen hitaasti toivuskellessa huomasin täyttyneen kaksi vuotta Mastodontissa. Edellinen vuosikatsaukseni oli tuossa: https://mementomori.social/@Lupposofi/111526797205858103.
Poissaolo on lisääntynyt ja resonanssi harventunut. Ehkä olemme kasvamassa erilleen, tai minä vain vähenen?

Jokin algoritmi tyrkytti yhtä liepeellistä toottiani jollain tapaa merkittäväksi. Oli päässyt "listalle" tehostuksista. Omasta vinkkelistäni nostaisin esille seuraavat kontribuutioyritykseni tältä vuodelta:
