I added a Reversi (a.k.a. Othello) game to my site. The AI will improve in a few weeks, once the genetic algorithm I've written has had time to optimize the parameters.

Site update

There's a new page about my favorite illustrators, a page about my Java games (although it's difficult to get Java applets to run in browsers nowadays), I've added a cake recipe (in Swedish), and there's a new image in the portfolio.

I've made some corrections to the site code; some minor functions are still missing, but as of this update, the site seems to be working more or less as it should, and I'll start concentrating on adding more content.

Also: It turns out I had forgotten to include the file responsible for saving portfolio image ratings. Go rate my portfolio images!

I bought some comics!

I received a package today! For the first time in a long while, I've ordered comics from Yesasia and Amazon, including Åsa Ekström's new book about culture clashes and misadventures in Japan. Now all I need to do is to learn these stupid languages.

Site redesign

I decided to switch to a new layout before everything was ready, partly to force myself to finally get it done, and partly to stress myself out for no good reason. Come back in a week or so, and I'll have much more content up. You should probably be celebrating Christmas now anyway.

Can astrologers truly gain insights about people from entire astrological charts?

We tested and analyzed the ability of 152 astrologers to accurately match people to their natal charts.The 152 astrologers largely believed that they were capable of doing this task with accuracy well above chance.

  • Whereas a random guesser would, on average, only correctly answer 2.4 questions out of 12, astrologers with the least experience thought they had correctly answered 5 charts after completing the study tasks, and those with the most astrology expertise believed they had gotten 10 right. 
  • Despite their high-degree of confidence in their performance, astrologers as a group performed no better than chance - that is, their distribution of results closely resembled what you'd see if they had all been guessing at random, and the number of charts they matched correctly, on average, was not statistically significantly different than random guessing either.
  • Not a single astrologer got more than 5 out of 12 answers correct - even though, after completing the task, more than half of astrologers believed they had gotten more than 5 answers correct.

  • More experience with astrology had no statistically significant association with better performance, and the astrologers with the most experience didn't do any better than the rest. 

  • Despite astrologers' belief that they were performing well on the task, there was little agreement among astrologers about which natal chart belonged to each study subject.

'Obelisks': Entirely New Class of Life Has Been Found in The Human Digestive System

Stanford University biologist Ivan Zheludev and colleagues argue their strange discovery may not be viruses at all, but instead an entirely new group of entities that may help bridge the ancient gap between the simplest genetic molecules and more complex viruses.

"Obelisks comprise a class of diverse RNAs that have colonized, and gone unnoticed in, human, and global microbiomes," the researchers write in a preprint paper.

Can astrology predict life outcomes? We tested it.

In our data Astrological sun signs had literally zero predictive ability across all 37 outcomes. The correlation coefficients, or ‘r values’, were all 0, meaning that the zodiac signs had no ability whatsoever to predict any of the 37 outcomes! 

Could it just be that these life outcomes are inherently unpredictable, so our study results tell us just about the unpredictability of life itself, rather than about the effectiveness of astrology? No, because we also collected the Big 5 personality test scores of our study participants, and as the chart below shows, using personality scores, we were able to predict life outcomes with a decent level of reliability. So the issue is not that these life outcomes are wholly unpredictable - it's that zodiac signs can't be used to predict them.
