in 2020 my lab quit Microsoft Word and began writing in R Markdown, an open-source document-publishing system that facilitates a clear, permanent link between statements in text (scientific prose) and the code producing analyses and visualizations supporting those statements (scientific analyses)

E-mails: eun.cho@yale.edu, lidya.yurdum@yale.edu, sam@auckland.ac.nz Music appears universally in human infancy with self-evident effects: as many parents know intuitively, infants love to be sung to. The long-term effects of parental singing remain unclear, however. In an offsetdesign exploratory 10-week randomized trial conducted in 2023 (N = 110 families of infants, Mage = 3.67 months, 53% female, 73% White), the study manipulated the frequency of infant-directed singing via a music enrichment intervention. Results, measured by smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA), show that infant-directed singing causes general post-intervention improvements to infant mood, but not to caregiver mood. The findings show the feasibility of longitudinal EMA (retention: 92%; EMA response rate: 74%) of infants and the potential of longer-term and higherintensity music enrichment interventions to improve health in infancy.

I think tts ends up sounding too perfect and makes the whole feel very AI. But I should at least try the Geminiā€™s voice cloning.

@hadley.nz

I like the music šŸ˜­ but it seems like thatā€™s the most common complaint so Iā€™ll take it down. I did try a slightly slower paced version but got feedback it was too slow. Hard to strike the balance right when our attention spans seem to be shrinking.

@hadley.nz

Opus 5.5 creates the script (with my feedback) then uses Gemini tts for rough timings and to iterate on the overall flow. Then it made me a recording studio to record the final content one scene at a time.

We have just merged in a massive PR to #ggsql, bringing first class support for 15 new database backends.

I think there's a point in your career where you start to get more inputs than you can process and you have to learn new strategies for being ok with that. Maybe AI is pushing that point earlier for many people.

@hadley.nz

That's interesting because for me it hasn't gotten noticeably worse. I've always received a ton of emails that are of questionable value and definitely longer than they need to be.

@hadley.nz

I feel like Iā€™m missing something here because no one is forcing you to read it. You can just say thanks, but weā€™re not interested.
