Hey, so I'm doing this thing next week, and it's a pilot for what I'm hoping will be a regular thing, and I'm really excited about it, and I do hope you'll join us.

My book, a labor of love, with 15 years of my own research and the stories of countless women, is out today!! I document why women's time has gotten so squeezed, and then provide actionable, evidence-based strategies on what we can do about it! So many people on here did the research in the book! πŸ™

Today's ChatGPT use case: give it Stata code and have it draft a methodology section based on it. A straightforward yet somewhat time-consuming task to do manually.

Bonus: if the writeup doesn't match what you THINK you did, it may be due to an error in your code that you didn't catch.

Instagram on iPad opens on Reels, not on the regular photographic feed

And of course, there is no way to change this behaviour

This is both not surprising in the slightest, and yet another example of a giant social media corporation forcing the hands of its users

I did this last year in my principles of microeconomics class. I explained my reasons. I expected bad course evaluations, but I got the best evaluations ever for that class, with many students explicitly stating that the policy was good.

Will anyone review this paper? Screening, sorting, and the feedback cycles that imperil peer review Scholarly publishing relies on peer review to identify the best science.

1. Kevin Gross and I just posted a new science-of-science preprint.

This one explores the looming peer review crisis. As many of you know, it's becoming significantly more difficult for journal editors to find scholars willing to serve as peer reviewers for submitted manuscripts.

My brother majored in philosophy, has a grad degree in more philosophy, and makes an ungodly amount of money. He can critically evaluate problems, speak multiple languages, and write like a god. All of these things help his organization solve big problems and communicate the solutions to others.

ironically the education for its own sake, Enlightenment-coded, Great Books-ass liberal arts degree is one of the better employment bets you can make. learn how to read, write, think critically, develop curiosity so you can pick up new skills quickly, etc etc
