here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

I work in an incredibly niche field and every paper I publish builds on the ones before. There is absolutely nothing wrong with citing yourself and I never understood this critique, either.

WPSU and the Penn State Board of Trustees reverse course ... WHYY in Philly to take over WPSU. Best case for WPSU and Central PA.

Long live WPSU, PBS and NPR.

Awesome news! Penn State has reversed its decision to shutter WPSU and has agreed to sell it to @whyy.org!

Figuring out how the brain uses information from visual neurons may require new tools, writes @neurograce.bsky.social. Hear from 10 experts in the field.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Yea, I loved the counter method, very clever! Although that is also more difficult to pull off in a very rural setting.

Anyway, I really look forward to seeing what these new projects dig up.

I guess one restriction if that using the same methods (asking for directions) requires certain settings. And the directions question probably has to vary based on the locale. Is there another version of the question that is more universal?

I can imagine that the "task" for some people in e.g. giving directions has them connecting with the person they are talking to rather than just trying to get it over with quickly. Some cultures (thinking rural vs urban) may involve more of the former.

Thank you Dan, this is great (and answers a lot of questions that come up).

I wonder if change blindness operates differently than IB cross culturally because in IB the level of engagement is controlled by the experiment, but in people-swapping CB tasks, engagement is left up to the subject.

Thanks for tagging Dan. Bsky doesn't have a very good search function so I couldn't find him again.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I don't really like the load theory explanation as much as a memory based explanation if you see 1-2 new people per month, basic memory theory suggests that the face of the new person you're talking to will just be very easy to remember vs meeting 1-10 new people per day.

Didn't Dartmouth do this last week?

Same thing applies to particle physics as well. Very much confirmatory fishing, but also very low p values.

My instinct is to tell them that IB and CB are ubiquitous properties of selective attention and not the result of modern life.

But on thinking about it, I can imagine that urban life makes it easier to ignore the physical characteristics of the person you're talking to. Any evidence for this?

Meanwhile in #Portland

@irahyman.bsky.social My students in an attention seminar are asking whether change and inattentional blindness are products of the dense information environment of a city. I was wondering if any one has run e.g. the door study on someone in the country. >

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Ari Shapiro just wandered into that interview unprepared

Michigan Avenue right now.

POSTDOC Opening: I'm hiring a postdoc to work with me, @ayeletlandau.bsky.social, and Yuval Benjamini on a 4-year NSF funded project to understand timing and memorability in the visual system. fMRI, EEG, eye-tracking all included.

If interested, please DM or email me for more information!

@hankgreen.bsky.social has seen Sora 2 and he has opinions. You might want to turn your volume down.
