Published: November 17, 2020 00:27
It’s a collection of short stories. 18 of them, to be exact. Some of them (3 of them, to be exact) have been previously posted here (specifically, this one, this one, and this one). The other 15 have appeared nowhere. The stories are about all kinds of…

A piece of short fiction very loosely inspired by the development of GPT-3. 100% human-authored. Tropic of Zamza was one of the better novels Vela Hirasawa had proxywritten this quarter. It was the fourth book in her Zamza series, and also the sixth in her…

A political candidate running for regional public office asked a famous political psychologist what kind of television ads she should air in three heavily contested districts: positive ones emphasizing her own record, or negative ones attacking her…
I hate open science
https://talyarkoni.org/blog/2019/07/13/i-hate-open-science/
Published: July 13, 2019 18:49
Now that I’ve got your attention: what I hate—and maybe dislike is a better term than hate—isn’t the open science community, or open science initiatives, or open science practices, or open scientists… it’s the term. I fundamentally dislike the term open…
No, it’s not The Incentives—it’s you
https://talyarkoni.org/blog/2018/10/02/no-its-not-the-incentives-its-you/
Published: October 2, 2018 20:00
There’s a narrative I find kind of troubling, but that unfortunately seems to be growing more common in science. The core idea is that the mere existence of perverse incentives is a valid and sufficient reason to knowingly behave in an antisocial way, just…

https://talyarkoni.org/blog/2018/08/16/neurohackademy-2018-a-wrap-up/
Published: August 16, 2018 23:28
It’s become something of a truism in recent years that scientists in many fields find themselves drowning in data. This is certainly the case in neuroimaging, where even small functional MRI datasets typically consist of several billion observations (e.g.,…
The great European capitals of North America
https://talyarkoni.org/blog/2017/11/27/the-great-european-capitals-of-north-america/
Published: November 28, 2017 05:02
There are approximately 25 communities named Athens in North America. I say “approximately”, because it depends on how you count. Many of the American Athenses are unincorporated communities, and rely for their continued existence not on legal writ, butÂ…
