Well, at least before I got these crayons, apparently made out of angel tears.

Tell me more! Do NeurIPS and ICML accept Typst source files now?

Very sorry to hear that you are struggling, Cameron.

Is just my imagination, or is the battery better again after last update? Feels so?

And the other way around.

Yes, and there should be more cross-fertilization between Active learning in machine learning and experimental design in Statistics.

His fellow Nobel prize winner Tom Sargent uses Python and Julia.

I don't follow macro so closely nowadays, but my impression is that #julialang is getting popular, as it is the natural progression from Matlab (open source, fast and with linalg syntax similar to Matlab).

Chris used to have this code only in Matlab, but added R versions some 15-20 years ago. He switched to R when the Mathworks started to get gready with also for academics (who popularized Matlab about economists).

Very happy to see this! How many came to listen? What other talks were given in the session?
