- The python notebook dependence is one of my least favorite parts of the move to industry. Writing code that gets saved as json instead of plain text, absolutely disgusting.
- AI is going to let academics write so many more papers (derogatory)
- Getting acknowledgment-zoned (feedback ignored, added to \thanks{})
- Looks like a cool paper but this title, man. Fields other than economics do formal modeling!
- Two sentence horror story
- It’s probably not AGI if you have to rely on the “skill issue” arguments to explain its behavior
- One oddly moralistic part of my parenting philosophy is that I try very hard to deny my children the knowledge that food delivery exists as a concept.
- Funny that WashU and Vanderbilt don’t make the Manhattan Institute’s Top 20 colleges even after their presidents spent the last year and a half trying to woo conservatives
