Shrimpers get a third of what they got 40 years ago after inflation adjustment. Very hard to compete. The fisheries that tend to best are those that have a very strong identity like flounder, blue crab, etc. Or things that don’t transport well like oysters.

One of my department colleagues makes the top story. He puts the ”dismal” in science.

Definitely not the Ducks. They’ve been absolutely terrible this year. Could also use a coaching change IMHO.

I’m certainly not going to put it in charge of analyzing new data if it can’t even correctly reproduce early results that have been done separately by myself and another PhD economist.

Don’t tell me I’m asking the wrong question because that’s what I’m trying to figure out what to do. I have finally gotten it to give me the correct coefficients, but it still has the wrong R2. And if it’s a matter of me needing to luck into the correct question, I might as well write the damn code.

Like a lot of economists probably, I don’t want AI to write narrative for me, I want it to write code and do math for me. And it is quite aways from being able to do that competently. I’ve been trying for three days to get it to reproduce the results of some old code.

Does anyone have a gift link for that story on the verge about AI training today?

AI data companies have found rich recruiting ground among the growing ranks of the highly educated and underemployed. It is, as one industry veteran put it, the largest harvesting of human expertise ever attempted.

Oysterman

I’ve heard that before

Growing up, we used to call harvesting oysters “chiseling” and harvesting clams “scratching” so I guess you could make those into nouns

A big fluffy husky mix with bright blue eyes and a prehensile tongue, swiping a pair of French fries out of my hand. From this angle she looks like a fur-covered balloon with tiny white feet.

yeah the world is a tire fire, but look at this dog
