The takeaway seems to be: Keep calm and UJIVE (unbiased jackknife instrumental variables estimator) on!

Correct!

has anyone seeing this purchased the corelogic climate scores product, or worked on it? or know someone who has done either? and is willing to chat about it?

This is a hell of a chart.

Excited to post a new working paper with @instrumenthull.bsky.social and Michal Kolesár: arxiv.org/abs/2511.03572 Will post a thread on it soon, but if you're interested in judge/examiner designs, I think you'll find this guide very helpful!

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Sounds like loser talk

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

Bulls beat the Sixers in a game where Chicago held the lead for 3.2 total seconds. 6-1, first place in the East.

Hades II is amazing. There are nods to both Lattimore's and Wilson's Odyssey translations. Lattimore: “Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways…” Wilson: “Tell me about a complicated man…” Hades II: “Some know him as the man of many ways; certainly he is a complicated one.”

A big personal and professional change coming for me. I've accepted a professor position in the School of Business and Creative Industries at the University of the Sunshine Coast which means that next year (visa willing), the family and I will be heading to Australia.

The dream is over for Chicago. Bulls can still finish 81-1, but season feels hollow now.

Got yelled at a second time by our neighbor for noise complaints at band practice ; this means we’re a real band now

Recently "refactored" someone elses code for which he swore it needs a 32GB machine to a size where it only needs an 8GB machine or less. I don't even want to call it a refactor because all I did was delete every instance of the guy creating a new copy of the same data and just make the code 1/

Almost fell for a scam call today, and realised that if I simply never picked up the phone, I'd easily avoid loads of potential scammers

Is phone anxiety a behavioral adaptation to endless scam calls, or are endless scam calls a behavioral adaptation to "picks up calls from unknown numbers" being more and more correlated with "is old and possibly gullible"? In this paper, we...

Homey literally said "touch mass"

Look at the defense from Matas Buzelis. Gets skinny over the screen, jams the ball right back at Anunoby, then stuffs the next pass with his wrists (he drew a foul on the lob)

Bulls 135, Knicks 125. Bulls improve to 5-0, last undefeated team in the East.

I'm ready to be hurt again. Bulls are 4-0, blast it from the streets.
