@tchanpoker How much can the game have changed? Sure these kids have their math and their solvers but you know what I have? 11 years of saved up one-times!

@tchanpoker Flop like a butterfly, stick around like a cockroach.

@DepressionLab The behaviorist in me is hearing you say that you want to know what that energy is… a function of?

@NeurosciTheater “First time fathers”. That’s why I had two!

@quantitudepod Dear SEMNET,
my chi-square is significant. Is that ok?

@jacasiegel Blackberry picking! One of our very favorite places is kite hill in Magnuson park. Loads of blackberries at the top, alongside amazing views of the water and a little swimming area

@billchenpoker @quantitudepod I think your prediction here is about as accurate as the predictions from the model I referenced above :-) don’t worry—you’re still the smartest person I know (that may not be saying a whole lot…)

[Matt Hawrilenko @hoss_tbf]

Got covid and quarantining from my family (3 kids <= 6). On the downside, I have covid.

On the upside, wow is productivity easier when I abdicate family.

For example, today I tested a prediction model out of sample and produced r^2 = -13. Is that good @quantitudepod ?

[Matt Hawrilenko @hoss_tbf]

@DepressionLab LOL. That’s one way to show “proof” of your productivity!

[Matt Hawrilenko @hoss_tbf]

@DepressionLab Yeah you’ve done such awesome stuff over there. Just know that we’ll be here when you’re ready.

[Matt Hawrilenko @hoss_tbf]

Hey @DepressionLab we’ve never met, but just wanted to give you a shout because when I was waffling about applying to Spring’s research scientist position last year, you tweeted about it and it pushed me over the edge. So—thanks for helping me jump ship to a job I LOVE :-)

[Matt Hawrilenko @hoss_tbf]

Academic Job alert!

I left my faculty job at UW psychiatry in January. I liked my job and loved my colleagues.

I came to Spring because I wanted to do precision mental health research, at scale, and roll it out. Best. Gamble. Ever. Come work with me!

@HeatherTCooley The version I got was to write it “almost without references.” The rationale was that an aims page should be intuitive, uncontroversial, and out-of-the-weeds. The reviewer should just nod along in agreement the whole time. This may have been intended to balance my tendencies :-)

10pm, made myself an emergency chocolate cake-in-a-mug, had to substitute literally every single ingredient and now I finally understand the limitations of synthetic data

@quantitudepod Loved the episode! And… disappointed to learn that NPR cites studies supporting its hypotheses as liberally as I do 🙈

[Matt Hawrilenko @hoss_tbf]

Cancelled meetings and cut off my work day 5 hours early to pick my 6 year old daughter up from school today because, apparently, she had to fart.

@EikoFried @JoranJongerling I’ve seen you make this point before and it feels really important to me. Any chance you’ve published it, or know of another citation for it?

[Matt Hawrilenko @hoss_tbf]

@dp_moriarity Oh! Yeah that’s more boring :-) CFA away, then, ideally just a one group model across all 5 time points. And note that you can get away with releasing some equality constraints (partial measurement invariance). Todd Little has a great chapter on this.
