This new paper finds 10% higher likelihood to acquit per hour of fasting. That’s huge. Imagine you’re in the criminal’s shoes. The original also found a marked impact of hunger on acquittal rates.

They real story here is that a just system would have no relationship between judge hunger and acquittal rate, and both studies show human judges fall far short of that mark.

The authors make a classic mistake: the brain is not comparable to a Turing Machine, it is a finite state machine. There’s no infinite tape in a brain.

A detailed follow-on study found a 4,000-mile radius sphere centered on the earth’s core contains ~100% of earth’s population. Scientists stunned.

One of the unfortunate things about the GM foods debate is how rarely the details of a particular crop are considered. What method was used to engineer it? What gene was added in or modified? What is the IP approach used by the inventor? What are the results of field trials? For all the strong opinions I’ve seen, nobody mentions these specifics. It’s like deciding someone is guilty or innocent of a crime when all you know is that they’ve been charged.

Thanks, your points make sense. It’s definitely a worrisome coincidence given the multiple tests they ran but didn’t correct for. I hope to see that knockout experiment you describe!

It's a good point. Why would the length effect you describe be be associated with age, across many organs, cell types, datasets, and species? The technical effect would be a good explanation for this finding in one dataset, but it seems unlikely that many datasets would have a technical length effect that correlates with age by chance.
