Wake me up when this liquid glass thing disappears from Apple OSs.

Extrapolating from master thesis supervision, will the citations for papers available online benefit from LLM use? You may have access to papers behind the paywall via your university, but does your LLM have the same access?

A neighbor seized the opportunity. Only in Vienna.

Which economy is more productive - Germany or the US? It seems the answer would be clear, but it's not. The mood in Germany is so deeply negative, even aggressively pessimistic, that I thought we had fallen behind by a lot. But here are the facts - they surprised me as well:

Say learning without saying curve. You can do it.

If you're so impressed by the correction, imagine what the corrected article could do to you.

Well played @theguardian.com

Well \beta = 0.387 ==> exp(\beta)-1 = 0.473, so it is 47.3% not 38.7% pubsonline.informs.org/doi/full/10....

I received a review request from a Frontiers journal. The mail included only accept and reject buttons for taking up the review, without any deadline information, or the manuscript itself (just abstract). When I clicked accept, it assumed accept (although revertible), due in 10 days. Never again.

What if you offer £1.50 to look the other way?

How likely it is that you upload your paper to some LLM as if you are reviewer for it to get suggestions, you implement them to anticipate, and the actual reviewer down the line uploads it on their side to some LLM and makes the suggestion to reverse back to original?

It turns out "delve" is used more since ChatGPT indeed. How much of it is strategic use? www.theverge.com/openai/68674...

What do you think the chances are that the link in this abstract from 2001 actually takes you anywhere?

One should not feel offended when asked about data and analysis details. Better: put everything up timely so you will not be asked.

Are you also doing air curly quotes when you speak? bsky.app/profile/ozke...

I hear some of you using more "delve into" when you speak so as to defend its use in your texts. Cheaper than actually AI-cleaning your texts ex-post I suppose.

Conclave : le vote itéré en action par Jérôme Lang decol.hypotheses.org/191

“Data is not available upon request”: the latest paper finding, of articles stating that data were available upon request, only 17%…shared data upon request. 😐 Seriously stop doing this. Put it in a repository while it’s fresh; it will only get *less* convenient to share as time goes on, not more.

every one of these deregulated markets guys is a regulated market guy who hasn’t been punched in the face yet

Economists failed to predict yet another economic disaster.

"Most of the people who are successful are doing x" is not an argument for x, however frequent Harvard Business Review and the likes would repeat. You need to know the outcome of the alternatives to x. This is a statistical issue. Then there is "most of the CEOs are male" kind of issues.

I learned about the Startpage search engine on this website and it's pretty good. european-alternatives.eu

Deleted the twitter app. I was checking both apps until now, so it's a relief.

At AI Action Summit Conference all they do is talk economics (and game theory). Program: aiconference.ip-paris.fr/program

New research alert! Our study investigates the effectiveness of human-only, AI-assisted, and AI-led teams in assessing the reproducibility of quantitative social science research. We've got some surprising findings!

If it's now up for grabs, why don't we call this place Twitter now? And then we can sell it to you know who and move to a new one and start over.
