If I can’t make it live (toddler duties) can I ask, “Sectoral balances seem pretty easy to explain. Would you say that this is a good gateway drug into MMT?”

Very informative preprint written by several leading causal inference authors that addresses 12 current issues in the field. arxiv.org/abs/2508.17099

Impedance scales are rubbish. They indicate no change - very demoralising. Using skinfold callipers reveals the truth - fat loss and lean mass gain 💪🏻🏋🏻‍♂️

The most recent Scottish Government prospectus for independence announced its desire to follow the EU's fiscal rules, the "SGP", once Scotland was independent and BEFORE it joined the EU. No one has ever considered the economic impact of that decision until now. Thread. 1/10

This is quite a painful watch for anyone who understands #MMT. Governments are not households! youtu.be/KHdUAZnGS50?...

The UK's Online Safety Act has caused a massive increases in Google searches for "VPN." Quick little Bayesian Causal analysis of Google Trends data. See more on the linked in post here: www.linkedin.com/posts/benjam...

This is a good example of an (ex) MP not understanding fiat currency. The hard money view is so appealing, people find it hard to escape from its gravitational pull. An alternative argument would be that £ has value because we go to prison if we don’t pay our taxes. #mmt youtu.be/Li3L1s5VKK0?...

Hope you don’t mind @patriciapino.bsky.social & co, but I’ve been trying to point YouTubers in your direction. I assume you’d be receptive? IMHO getting some YouTubers savvy on MMT would be force multiplier. This channel has showed some interest youtube.com/@maximilienr... #mmt

Hi @octopus.energy I love the app, but the estimated costs is confusing. The graph includes standing charges, but the question mark icon next to the estimated cost says it doesn't include fixed charges. Any chance you could clear that up?

Anyone familiar with the VO2 max ➡️ longevity literature? Isn't relative VO2 max (ml/kg/min) a terrible measure, being conflated with body mass? Isn't this collider bias / backdoor path city? #causality

🚨 We’re opening our private Bayesian modeling workshops to the public — for the first time After this course, you won’t just build better models. You’ll know how to explain them — to technical and non-technical stakeholders alike 🎓 Led by top PyMC experts. 📎 Register here: dub.link/68uMjpp

What I want Apple Intelligence to do (non-exhaustive): - I want to interact with and and ask questions of pdf files in Preview, and web pages in Safari - Way better understanding of what I’m trying to type when using the keyboard swipe input method (as opposed to the traditional tap tap method)

This video will change your life*. #MMT ‘ers need to do more like this. Sectoral balances is definitely over route “in”. youtu.be/mtDzC3i9i6A?... *or at least how you understand the world.

Well this is a very interesting documentary, watching with your #mmt glasses on. “… but where was the money going to come from? … since the nazi’s had none, they invented it.” youtu.be/VXnuIbGCYG8?...

This is interesting by @garyseconomics.bsky.social but I don’t buy step 3 - governments who issue their own currency don’t borrow to fund spending as such. They issue bonds for other reasons, not to generate income. They are the ones who create currency in the first place. youtu.be/pUKaB4P5Qns?...

30m documentary by the FT on government debt. Wouldn’t it be totally amazing if all these confident & highly paid people are totally wrong and a plucky bunch #mmt ‘ers got it right! youtu.be/n1jhoU9Mp_U?...

By joining a cooperative energy generation company @rippleenergy.bsky.social, it looks like we’re carbon neutral! (At least in tens of our electricity use) In December we net generated more carbon than we consumed. But over multiple months we’re hovering around net zero.

✨ This year, we saw many new contributors contribute to PyMC-Marketing & CausalPy. Their work has made a real difference. 🌱 Some are first-time contributors, while others are experienced developers. 🙏 Thank you to everyone who contributed this year we’re excited to see what’s next!

📽 Great fun presenting at Python Ireland PyCON 2024 this weekend! 📽 I spoke about the probing uncertainty in causal estimands using PyMC Labs's and @benvincent.bsky.social 's CausalPy package. Slides can be found here: nathanielf.github.io/talks/pycon_...

Happy to say that I’ll be presenting at PyData Global 2024. “Climbing the causal ladder for fun and profit”
