Recently, a friend of mine recommended "BabySparks", an app providing a set of development milestones and targeted growth activities for babies and toddlers. This feels like the sort of thing I should be able to pull from a few books, rather than a subscription-based app. I'm also not particularly interested...
Given the replication crisis in the social sciences, do we have, somewhere, a list of cognitive biases tied to replicated studies? I could be missing something, but I didn't see anything on the Wikipedia page indicating whether or not the results replicated.
Recently, a friend of mine recommended "BabySparks", an app providing a set of development milestones and targeted growth activities for babies and toddlers.
This feels like the sort of thing I should be able to pull from a few books, rather than a subscription-based app. I'm also not particularly interested in Yet Another App, nor am I particularly keen on handing my infant's personal data to Yet Another Social Media company.
I'm especially interested in understanding the varying stages of development, and in activities to perform with aforementioned infant during their first year.
So: Any non-app resources that LessWrongers would care to recommend?

I've made it a point to build up a set of phrases that allow me to express sympathy, and which have the advantage of being clearly visible expressions, rather than hollow tokens.
For example: "Your mom got cancer? That's a bad deal. Make it a point to spend as much time with her as you can. What can I do to help?"
Thank you for asking this question!
I live in Japan. What’s the brand?
"Flooding the Zone" appears to be to be deliberate, and rampant across the whole of journalism.
I doubt it has anything to with "trying to satisfy a market generated by anxiety"; rather, it's a case of "our ends are noble and good, justifying victory by any means necessary".
Looking at the above-linked publication on The Russian "Firehose of Falsehood" Propaganda Model, we see the following characteristics:
High-Volume and Multichannel. Text, video, audio, and still imagery propagated via the Internet, social media, satellite television, and traditional radio and television broadcasting.
Rapid, Continuous, and Repetitive. Propagandists do not need to wait to check facts or verify claims; they just disseminate an interpretation of emergent events that appears to
For what it's worth, I had a similar journey. Not as much with strong emotions being triggered by trivial things, but I would routinely blame others for my negative feelings.
Coming to understand that I, and only I, was responsible for both my situation and my emotional responses was a difficult journey, but it also helped me address those negative feelings in a useful way.
I wonder if there's a correlation between the American emphasis on comfort and loss of utility for suffering as a social signal?
At least within notable chunks of American culture that I currently have a lens on -- don't live in the US at present, so do take this with a massive salt-boulder -- it seems that visibly suffering quickly earns the sufferer a large amount of sympathy/compassion/support/etc.
This begets more visible suffering -- to the point of harmful neuroticism -- in order to garner more support from the community, and I doubt this is in any way a conscious effort on behalf of any of the involved parties. Similar to an unruly child
Glide floss. My teeth absolutely shred every other brand, but Glide is coated with Teflon. Made regular flossing possible.
I stopped watching news years ago. Improved my mental state massively.
Stretching every day, right after work, has been a win as well. It’s a good end to the day, I’m way more flexible, and overall feel happier.
Whenever I feel angry or frustrated, I ask myself what outcome I want from the situation, and focus on how to make that happen. Helps me avoid acting counterproductively on emotion.
As being publicly accused of rape or sexual assault carries severe penalties for the accused, how do you intend to deal with false accusations?
I have a question in a similar vein -- how would one go about finding resources that don't have immediately available reviews -- videos, blogs, etc?
My understanding of the present state of Taiwan is that they are unprepared for war in any real sense. Sure, they've bought a decent amount of American military technology, but that seems to be it.
Total war requires the preparation of the entire populace. Taiwan has not done this, and I doubt the present government intends to do so. Not only do you basically have to train your populace in terrorism, you also need to equip them with caches of a variety of weapons, entirely outside of government control.
Azerbaijan and Armenia's recent war shows just how the game has changed. Armenia had a much more capable and better-trained infantry. Azerbaijan had the latest... (read more)
