No, Harvard didn't mark up Linda McMahon's letter and send it back to her! That markup was a Twitter/X joke by MIT economics grad student Daniel Luo x.com/danielluo_pi

That is, funnily enough, a different set of corrections.

WE ARE BACK next week!!! On Thursday, 24 April 2025, Alexander Wolitzky (MIT) will present "Marginal Reputation" (joint work with Daniel Luo). Our guest panellists: Jeff Ely and Elliot Lipnowski. Share the news! @jeffely.bsky.social @elliotlip.bsky.social

8yo is suddenly super into Taylor Swift. Two observations: 1) OMG I'm so relieved she's finally listening to "real" music rather than kid music. 2) It turns out Taylor Swift is pretty catchy, actually.

🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍 Album announcement! reputation (daniel luo and alex wolitzky's version) is coming to an arxiv repository near you. and, from the vault: commitment foundations for bayesian persuasion, even if receiver never sees the state. a thread, below. (1/15)

the problem with bsky so far is while there's decent supply of tweets, there's no demand bc no consumer is addicted yet, so there's no incentive to shitpost which means there's no incentive to doomscroll

i want to interchange this limit so bad man just once please just let me interchange it i promise i won't ever do it again i'll always check uniform continuity after this but JUST THIS ONCE PLEASE i need my fix PLEASE

re: discussion of RCV, i worry people learn the punchline of arrow's impossibility theorem (no nondictatorial "minimally axiomatic" system exists) and draw unreasonably strong conclusions (all voting sucks!) when in fact IMO the right lession is those "minimal" axioms aren't so innocuous. (1/2)

have we considered that we live in a nongeneric world...disturbing

bluesky is getting better but no politican has singlehandedly torpedoed a promising political career by skeeting yet so we have work to do

pov: you're writing a paper about reputation

having me as a friend is a great way to get unbiased advice because i'll just ask why you don't commit to an information policy that concavifies your indirect payoff

the american people yearn for mandatory real analysis

Love when Marxists say “this is a science!” and if you ask “ah so we’re going to make casual models generating precise predictions we can test and iteratively improve?” it’s clarified: no not a *bourgeois* science, the other, better, kind, where you mainly just reinterpret Hegel.

tbh one of the best parts of bluesky is that the io guy who thinks endorsing politicians who want to execute gay people is harmless disagreement is ideologically opposed to ever coming on here

there's hope yet for bluesky to replicate twitter discourse 🥺

bluesky should just commit to an information policy that makes everyone indifferent between coming here and leaving twitter

The fact that inflation is perceived as cognitively costly — it requires mental calculations about your budget etc. — ties into educational polarization. ie cognitive costs of dealing with inflation are presumably higher, and more annoying, for the less educated
