Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

Dips are one of my favorite lifts. Gotta protect the shoulders though.

Morningggg

fairvote.org/first-ranked... First Ranked Choice Voting election in LA county ! Voters were able to cast their vote without having to worry about spoilers, and it saved the city $$$ because a runoff wasn’t needed.

Once you start working with probabilistic models the desire to convert all your favorite deterministic ones is an obsession. Xgboost gets a prior, MLP gets priors, you ALL GET PRIORS. #mlsky #statssky

I wrote a little blog post for the Neptune.ai blog about our ICML position paper on Bayesian Deep Learning: neptune.ai/blog/bayesia...

Ever feel like attractive people are jerks? It’s a causal illusion—you rarely date someone who’s both unattractive and awful. When an attractive person sucks, you still date them, skewing perception. In reality, everyone just sucks to a random degree. This is called Berkson’s Paradox #Bayesian

We’re living through an era of exponential technological change—so why is governance still stuck in the past?

fairvote.org/poll-portlan... There’s been a lot of great research in Ranked Choice Voting. Portland just enacted the proportional version for their city council, and the consensus is that it gives voter more power.

One thing I’ve realized is that you can have the most perfect dataset, that is sufficiently large with normally distributed variables, but if you don’t know how the data was generated you’re in for a struggle. Knowledge about how the data was obtained is equally important as the data itself.

And there it is

The Book of Why is one of the most intellectually stimulating books I’ve ever read. Every page is like “OoOooh. AHHhH. The wonder 🤩.”

www.reuters.com/world/europe... Both Germans and Austrians united against the far right. We could have done this too if we had proportional representation in the United States.

Fantastic reporting. Super informative and relevant for this moment. In the long run, everyone is better off in a more cooperative economy.

Thank you data science !

BREAKING: Mexican President Sheinbaum argues that if cartels are deemed terrorist orgs, then the suppliers of weapons—over 74% of which come FROM the U.S.—should ALSO face accountability for enabling terrorism. As a result, Mexico is expanding its lawsuit targeting U.S gun manufacturers. 🇲🇽

www.bbc.com/news/article... Why the delay? The released Israelis looked too well kept and cared for. They didn’t appear afraid at all. Apparently that’s humiliating ? Strange.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Wise man…

www.reuters.com/graphics/GER... A beautiful story map of the current state of Germany.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

New Pharaoh's tomb just dropped. The tomb of King Thutmose II has been uncovered, Egyptian officials announced on Tuesday, marking the first discovery of a royal resting place since King Tutankhamun’s was unearthed in 1922.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Bahaha

Deleted Facebook. I’m so tired of people who haven’t spoken to me in years being assholes for no reason. #ByeFelicia

In 1954, the VP of Phillip Morris stated "If we had any [..] knowledge that in any way we were selling a product harmful to consumers, we would stop business tomorrow." History shows that they DID know it was harmful, and they lied about it for decades until forced by the courts to tell the truth.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.  It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Monday here we come !

Germany’s multiparty system blocks extremists by forcing broad coalitions. A system like this would give Americans more choices and protect democracy. www.reuters.com/world/europe...
