There's a growing worry that AI will break empirical social science -- that agents can p-hack until they find something that "works."

We think that worry deserves to be taken seriously. Our new paper shows that is true empirically and makes it precise: njw.fish/static/paper...

Look, I wouldn't pay a premium for an older WR who has has lost significant time to injury the past two seasons, but this still sucks. I also don't blame Mike for not wanting to put his body on the line for another year of 3d & 28s.

VR has been out since 1996! There are many, many decorated Marine officers with more recent, and extensive, combat experience we should listen to instead.

Also the White House press corps has been decimated and/or replaced with right wing influencers so there are fewer people around who know how to ask a good question.

The dawn of the post-literate society And the end of civilisation

"The world is entering a post-literate age, with huge implications for societies’ politics & structure.

The smartphone’s emphasis on photos & vids has driven a decline in reading, a consequence of which is that a growing number of people are unable to grapple w/ complex ideas and nuanced arguments"

I left in 2005 when the norm was camping out hours before an open house and offering well over the asking price as an opening bid. CA housing has been unaffordable forever.

Everyone knows once the main guy is dead it's all over. Does nobody remember how easy things went after Saddam was killed?

Education Department Moves to Eliminate "Regional Accreditor" Label in Major Higher Ed Shake-Up Trump administration proposes eliminating 'regional accreditor' terminology, calling it misleading barrier that inflates prestige over student outcomes.
