Trump doesn’t like climate change, so he just stops funding climate research. Great explainer by FT what this means. Obviously not smart to fly without any data through the haze in general, but even short term outcomes (weather forecasts, insurance premia etc) are under threat. on.ft.com/4nZI1II

If I find someone cheating, it's a straight fail. AI cheats all the time.

great writeup on spatial data in R, python and #julialang - which is catching up fast. Oh, "fast"? 👉 github.com/rafaqz/Raste...

#julialang github.com/JuliaFolds2/... is so nice to test multithreaded code. just remove the `t` from a function name to go back to the base (serial) equivalent:3

Thanks for a great day @psae.bsky.social (@inrae-france.bsky.social) - really cool seminar, great group there. Brand new buildings, very nice. Look at the new metro line 18 that will be arriving soon! (well…10 years to go, but still). Impressive transport investments around Paris.

@alanbeattie.bsky.social has an impersonator. Pretty poor job tbh, they wanted to share their recent success in crypto trading with me. Can't be the real one right?

Taught my final class at @ScPoEcon yesterday. Thanks to all my amazing colleagues, this has been an incredible ride. Looking forward now to a new adventure at @unito and @CollegioCA!

Good time for reading this one again. I’ll make sure to have a few examples in my econometrics courses next year. #econsky

I'm glad you asked 🤗. There are two components, i post both as pictures. First each collaborator is instructed to set an environment variable pointing to the local dropbox root (via an instructive error). Once you have that, the `paths` function will give you whatever you need inside the data.
