I think perhaps a centrist1 is someone who watches a person get sucker punched, nods sagely, then lectures the victim if they fight back.

1 or at least the people calling themselves that in the USA right now

Ah, the riveting world of property-based testing for Python—because who wouldn't want to spend their day configuring test settings and suppressing health checks? 🤦‍♂️ Apparently, the key to a fulfilling life is exploring the endless menus of documentation while debating if Auto lightdark mode is really the pinnacle of UI innovation. 🚀

Did you know that we once believed that cultivating land changes the #climate?

During the 1870s, the #American Southwest & northern South #Australia experienced a small blip in climate. This led to short-lived favourable rainfall patterns.

This was used to justify human habitation that had started in those areas.

As we are prone to do, this phenomenon led us to correlate #human activities with more rainfall.

The #hypothesis was known as "Rain follows the plough".

Hoy conversaremos con el alumnado de "Diseño en entornos libres" del Insituto Europeo de Diseño sobre el ya mítico texto de Guerra Ruda "Des-programar en clítoris". Lo tenemos publicado en El Jardín jardin.cc/material/des-program donde algunas ya han hecho aportes a través de la tecnología de #hypothesis - hypothes.is .
Os animamos a leerlo con nosotras y sumar al debate.

I do not believe I was drunk while laying out this circuit on a protoboard.

But I'm having difficulty coming up with an alternate hypothesis for how I'm finding so many errors in the layout.

We're working on a tool for standardizing hypothesis formulation. We've put together a bibliography of previous work on the topic. Are we missing any important papers?

There is no such thing as “Gold-Standard Science”

, first of all, doesn't need a promotional category label, like cheap brandy.

It is either arrived at through a systematic method of and , open , then , and broadly excepted by who are proven (gulp) elites in the study of that particular scientific branch (and who themselves are subject to peer review), or it is not.

I had a great time at #SIPS2025 last week! I learned lots about theory building, preregistration tools, scientific assessment and dissemination.

This being my fourth SIPS, it was about time I hosted my first (on-the-fly) #hackathon. Reach out if you'd like to join our small team making a tool to standardise #hypothesis formulation!

#Autaxys formal #hypothesis (H1): Given a sufficiently simple and well-defined initial set of Proto-property spaces a minimal #Cosmic Algorithm (graph rewrite rules), and a computable #Autaxic Lagrangian that embodies the Economy of Existence, the iterative application of the local maximization #dynamic to an initially simple or random graph state will spontaneously generate a non-trivial diversity of stable, emergent #patterns.
