So, if you were an Indian, you would by default have problems formulating legible, English text and would have to rely on AI? Didn’t we have term for these kind of assumptions?

People are laughing about the fact that this is obviously a template that didn’t get filled out properly by either a bot or an incompetent person, not the suggested skill list mentioned in the template.
If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I’d love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.
I love this template

2·1 month agoThe original paper might have other issues, e. g. https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2022/01/07/pnas-gigo-qrp-wtf-approaching-the-platonic-ideal-of-junk-science/
But I’m not here to discuss effect size or quality of sources, I think it is much more important to understand that there is no good proof that nudging enables people to make good, lasting changes, while at the same time offering policymakers an easy and cheap way out of applying uncontested, proven methods that would be a lot more beneficial.
Given that you quoted from the last paper, there was a response from Maier et al. to that paper explicitly, correcting for publication bias and finding no effect when “nudging”:
The papers are listed at the bottom of the screenshot you posted, I agree it’s badly formatted so not immediately obvious / visible.
However, I can provide sources later on, I actually still have to get back to another post to provide some papers, but it’ll be a while until I have the time to do that.
No, it doesn’t work - that is exactly the problem. If you don’t want to listen to the podcast (which would be a shame), they list a number of studies in the show notes.
There are a few select cases for which personal nudges work, but only to a miniscule degree which is far less than what the authors claimed. And naturally, proposing nudge theory hinders actual, much more effective, systematic changes that would really benefit people - and that is a major problem.
It’s a face, fake feel good strategy that can be employed to claim improving a given system - like attaching a little plastic string to the plastic cap of your beverage container so companies can claim to have improved the plastic littering problem.
Actually, don’t read the books. The concept is pretty much made up. Here is an entertaining podcast about that:

Although, to be fair, that was done by Cutter Labs, which sure, had been acquired by Bayer, but to be honest, Cutter Labs was rotten from the start, they were also responsible for the Cutter incident, infecting people with Polio:
Dude, I’m sure you were and hopefully still are a great and well trained cyclist, but it is very unlikely you averaged 50.
Rohan Dennis, Tour de France record holder for fastest stage in the Grand Tour, managed to break the previous UCI one hour record in an inside hall, on a flat plane and achieved 52.491 km:

If your average was 50, meaning you sometimes surpassed that, you should probably get back on that bike and claim the record.
While capitalism is bad, buying something that makes you happy is okay. Just try to buy ethically and don’t use consumer purchases to trigger dopamine hits.
A 4yo has no business having unrestricted access to media, let alone YouTube. Current recommendations are 20 to 45 minutes a day at that age, depending on country / organization.
YouTube has so much questionable content, kids shouldn’t be in a position to be able to click next and consume that crap.
YouTube kids exists since 2015, but Elsagate happened around 2017/18, so I don’t exactly trust their content moderation.
5·2 months agoI love this. I use sphagnum moss to keep other plants, mushrooms and terrariums humid, but I have never met anyone who cultivates it at home.
Great stuff, reall interesting! And thanks for the instructions, I’ll be sure to save that somewhere.
