Distracting myself by fiddling with something neat...using Expected Parrot's edsl library in-stream in an R data analysis to pass data to ChatGPT (in this case for classification) and then merging the answers back into R (w/ the reticulate package in RStudio).

If Hegseth had put classified info on Github, no one would have been able to access it.

FWIW, I saw people (appropriately) fired for accidentally leaving small amounts of, realistically, "barely sensitive" classified information on military bases in Afghanistan. And nobody was surprised--they screwed up and everybody knew it.

This is such a cool project--I'm thrilled that I got to be a part of it.
The big takeaway for me is that we need to do *less* research with *more* people on the team and try to do real code review and parallel analysis of our data.

Kids craft kits from like KiwiCo should be required to include no fewer than 10 pictures of the thing made by a child the target age advised by a parent who’s never seen it before. Don’t show me the perfect product made by an adult given 5 attempts…

Coming from a not-computer-sciency background, the Advent of Code is a fun challenge. I don't ever have time to complete the whole thing, but I'm keeping up with 2024 so far. And since most of my work is in #RStats so is my Advent of Code :-)

Reminder that the probably easiest way to import the citation for an #Rstats package to @zotero.bsky.social is probably to
1. run citation("package_name") in R
2. copy the BibTeX entry
3. go to #Zotero File > Import from clipboard

I spent a while trying to decide whether to hold class on Wed and decided yes.
1) University is open.
2) Students paid for that day.
3) I am paid to teach that day. I uphold my agreements.
But.
1) I might forget to take attendance.
2) Heyyyy a pre-rec video of my lecture is already on the LMS.

I'll be talking about my paper "Covid-19 is (Probably) Not an Exogenous Shock or Valid Instrument" at Oslo Met's Pandemics and Society Seminar today via Zoom at 1600 CET/1100 US Eastern/1000 US Central.
Minimal math, I'll make my argument with vibes.

Looking for examples of bad IVs for a seminar discussion. Just found a paper looking to assess the impact of socioeconomic factors on Covid-19. The paper uses WINDSPEED and AVERAGE RAINFALL 3 and 4 weeks ago to instrument for the NUMBER OF DOCTORS.

I get that a small number of high-stakes assessments has problems, and so we don't want grades based on that. But I'm getting tons of pushback now on grades being based on a large number of little, more formative exercises (from students who just won't do them). Can't win.

The amount of time I spent coming up with a fake company and scenario for my midterm was totally appropriate, yes a very good and reasonable use of time.

Pretty pumped to have seen a very convincing, very exogenous natural experiment. Now I just need to wait ~2 years to write it up so that I have sufficient data on the Post-Treatment period.
