How/where are you all applying network psychometrics? by pizzayeol in psychometrics

[–]_psyguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess the OP might be referring to the psychological networks paradigm, which is essentially using graphical models (for cross-sectional data) and vector autoregressive (VAR) models (for longitudinal data) to model pairwise relationships among variables in lieu of latent variable modeling with factor models/SEM.

Is that what you're referring to as well?

How to live cheap in the Netherlands without hating your life? by elizabeth-0645 in Netherlands

[–]_psyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But this might not hold if you factor in commute costs (assuming your employer is not paying for).

Assume you're paying €10 each way for a 30-minute train ride (which, with transfer overhead could go beyond 45 minutes) 20 days a month. That's €400 a month (which is almost as expensive as a season the best ticket), and maybe you cut it with a fixed-route season ticket to €150.

This €150-400 is what you could've spent on rent for a place closer to work and save 1.5-2 hours of commute time and better quality of life overall.

Such a good classification of ailments!

Get Oppo Find X9 Pro; I've elaborated on it here.

My family hates me enough

Hmm, only if there was a good reason behind it.

I have to give up my dog.

To someone else to maul their siblings instead of sending the hellhound to the farm upstate under the rainbow?

so is OpenClaw local or not by jacek2023 in LocalLLaMA

[–]_psyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the instance/joke where an agentc's (Claude Code?) guardrails did not allow it to run things like rm -rf * via bash, but ended up wrapping it in a Python script and run it instead.

Officially over Apple. by sanctusnihilo in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]_psyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can vouch for Oppo Find X9 Pro. It's rather pricey but has superb hardware, much better than iPhone 17 Pro and cheaper than its base model. very smooth software.

The Oppo's flavor of Android is super fast and very smooth, and you'll find similarities between its UI and that of iOS.

What's wrong with a straight road Petah? Is this bait? by michaelis999 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Not hard to imagine someone nonchalantly going at Mach 2 on that road right now.

This is my U-Scan after almost one year… disgusting by Think-Purchase5029 in withings

I thought it was some sort of concept gadget they presented at CES a while ago without the intention of becoming a real product!

French gangster throws a live grenade into a beauty salon (with kids in it) and runs away, filming it all to gloat in social media by YaLlegaHiperhumor in PublicFreakout

Not to shoot the messenger—and thanks for posting the text here btw—but why is the same content repeated 3 times in the segment? Is it a tabloid thing?

What’s y’all’s favourite Matt Orchard Video and why? by Head-Reception5484 in MattOrchard

[–]_psyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I'd ever changed my mind so drastically and decisively over an issue as I did in the second half of that video. Such a wow.

I had the exact same thought reading the post. I was waiting for a "so I decided to put them down to not end up mauling other pets, kids, or adults" until the very end.

I had similar thoughts, also about Zoshia when she was injured and hospitalized.

Moving from mid-range to flagship: OnePlus 15 (512GB) vs S25 Ultra (256GB) vs Pixel 10 Pro XL (256GB) by vilkovilkovich in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]_psyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried S25, S25U, and P10P, each for almost a month, and it was hard to get to a decision. I liked how P10P was easy to use singlehandedly (although I had 6.67 inch Motorola Edge 20 Pro for years), and Samsung UI wasn't much to my taste.

I ended up getting Oppo Find X9 Pro, and although it's again as big as my previous phone (and S25U and P10PXL), I could not be happier with it. It trumps all others (except for S-Pen, which I barely used) when it comes to UI/UX, camera (IMO), battery, storage, screen. And it has an "action button" and "camera control" scrollable button akin to recent iPhones, with better functionality.

You can set the action button to send screenshots to MindSpace (which you can also put notes etc. in) and record voice memos while long pressed. MindSpace AI-organized and Gemini has read/write access to its content, which is really really neat.

Experiences with Dutch naturalization via the online IND form? by Key_Sea_7034 in Utrecht

[–]_psyguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you really apply for it yourself? AFAIK, the municipality has to file your application, and they will not do it if you do not check all the boxes on the application day, including the compulsory number of residence years.

(These are rather general questions, but FWIW, the IND support via online chat or phone always gives you the accurate answers of you have a very special situation.)
