NEW from me: i talked to the founders of a geothermal startup that is working on a simple (but surprisingly difficult) solution to find more geothermal energy: seek out systems deep underground that we can use for power. it's harder than you think!

Screenshot of title page including the following abstract: To minimise confounding bias and disentangle warranted from unwarranted disparities, researchers examining sentencing discrimination have traditionally sought to control for as many legal factors as possible. However, over the past decade, a growing number of scholars have questioned this strategy, noting that many legal factors are themselves subject to judicial discretion and that controlling for them can introduce post-treatment bias. Here, we use directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to provide a formal and comprehensive assessment of the different types of bias that may arise from different choices of controls. In addition, we propose a new modelling framework to facilitate the selection of controls and reflect the model uncertainty created by the trade-off inherent in judicially-defined legal factors and other factors with a similar dual causal role. We apply this framework to examine race disparities in US federal courts and gender disparities in the England and Wales magistrates’ court. We find substantial model uncertainty for gender disparities and for race disparities affecting Hispanic offenders, rendering estimates of the latter inconclusive. Disparities against black offenders are more consistent and — under specific conditions — could be interpreted as evidence of direct discrimination.
Thrilled to share my latest paper entitled, "Estimating Discrimination in Sentencing: Distinguishing between Good and Bad Controls"
Led by @jpinasanchez.bsky.social, the paper introduces a framework for examining discrimination in criminal justice processes.

Worth re-reading this seminal 2017 essay from Ta-Nehisi Coates, in light of everything that's happened since. To say it still stands up would be an understatement. A genuine tour de force. Very impressive.

A primary purpose of Disaster Films is to provide an opportunity for us to safely explore our collective anxieties together, but now more and more, we are expected to process our collective anxieties alone.
Seems bad?
It’s been the way for years. Arxiv is full of junk papers and has been for nearly a decade. Everyone claiming they’ve “published” a paper and it’s all hand waving and not even a shred of rigor, let alone anything resembling a real proof.

6 December 1942 | Grigol Peradze, a cleric of the Georgian Orthodox Church, an archimandrite, perished in #Auschwitz.
Since 1933, he lectured at the College of Orthodox Theology at Warsaw University. The Germans arrested him on 5 May 1942, and, in November, deported him to Auschwitz.

It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!
