They walked that back awhile ago. I think folks gave a clear enough behavioral signal with non-attendance at some other online things ASA has organized post-COVID.

I’m watching the game in a bar and was the only one who cheered for it. Football fans are such frequentists.

Cameo appearance by Bayes Theorem in a Super Bowl ad.

Has anyone who was rumored to maybe still be alive ever turned out to still be alive?

Los Altos has a pop-up Dark Romance bookstore.

Or contract grading (unless those are different names for the same thing).

I remember saying when I taught the same class at Northwestern as Wisconsin, it felt like the top 15% at Wisconsin and top 60% at Northwestern were comparable. But LONG ago and vibe-based.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · 2d

I wonder if there are any folks at Harvard who do ungrading (a practice where students get to assign their own grades).

Jason Furman @jasonfurman.bsky.social · 3d

I will be enthusiastically supporting faculty legislation to cap the number of A's at Harvard at 20% (plus a bit). The collective action problem that has driven grades higher & higher over time is increasingly problematic. I hope other institutions consider similar steps.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · 2d

Eh, I was just being squirrelly. If I’m being honest, I suspect being in sociology vs economics has led to incommensurate experiences on both sides of your analogy, more than me having a different view than you. (Also, grade inflation at Stanford is out of control and I am part of the problem.)

Got tickets to see Australia play Paraguay in the World Cup. I’ve started the lobbying for us to attend in Raygun costumes.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · 2d

I wonder how professors would grade if giving a student an A meant the student got a permanent seat in the professor’s classroom.

Log b 2! Log b 2! Everything gets to be about doubling.

Every so often these days I hear someone randomly squawking the phrase “stochastic parrot.”

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · 5d

Vibecode it.

Not sure how we are supposed to trust Ariely’s word on this unless he signed the statement at the top.

Live your life so that you never have to publish an op-ed in the campus newspaper about your connection with Jeffrey Epstein dukechronicle.com/article/my-c...

Profs cannot penalty grade at Stanford without successfully filing a complaint with the Office of Community Standards. But “Does not read as if written by an LLM” would be an interesting maneuver.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · 17d

Here at Stanford, profs are allowed to state whatever policy they want on the syllabus, but profs aren’t allowed to enforce anything about violations themselves and the only guidance about detection is a combination of discouragement and prohibition.

C. Thi Nguyen @add-hawk.bsky.social · 18d

I told them they needed to give me a ChatGPT policy, and if there was a ban, they needed to give me a method of detection and enforcement.

I also told them if this ended up with me carefully commenting on mostly AI-written papers, I would probably quit the profession.

Same.

The more psych-y the thing we are talking about, age. The more social-y the thing we are talking about, cohort.

By “just finished” do you mean you got to the credits, or did you get sucked in further? The post-credits mysteries are still pretty compelling. I think we ended up getting all the trophies the didn’t involve speedrunning.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · Dec 4

Not what I’ve heard from some of the 40% at Stanford, so experiences may vary.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · Nov 27

Sorry that you’d being overwhelmed by this.

Jeremy Freese @jeremyfreese.bsky.social · Nov 23

This is an awesome idea as long as nobody on the upper floors gets old.

“Culver City becomes first California city to allow six-story apartment buildings with just one staircase, a move to ease housing construction and affordability. Single staircases reclaim 7% of space for actual homes while creating wider units with better light—and fitting on smaller urban parcels.”

Given the return of blue books in higher education, why not?
