If me and the boy’s group chat leaked it would just be talking about how I we love non-parametric statistical tests for Neurobehavioral data due to their robustness and relatively fewer assumptions driven

If Cook had done the very same thing in 2023, after her public service began, it still would not be obvious to me that an error on a mortgage application would constitute “cause” for these purposes. Would a traffic violation? An adverse finding on a tax audit?

A new paper by Nobel Prize-winning economist Claudia Goldin has found that countries where men take on more of the household labor and child care — in other words, those who buck traditionalism’s standards of the provider husband and homemaker wife — have higher fertility rates.
To raise fertility rates, it’s not women who need to step up — it’s men
New research found that countries where men do more housework and child care have higher fertility rates.

Why is dollar cost averaging so popular. It makes no sense. EV in the market is highest right now!
Unless you believe in market timing (you shouldnt unless you sit in a big Bank/HF and have access to all “public wink wink” data, you should invest what you plan to DCA right away! With few exceptions

Becoming increasingly clear to me that LLM have an “effect bias”. When you ask about the relationship between two things, it defaults to stating there is some relationship (regardless of truth) much more often than stating there is no relationship.

Hearing many American students are now looking abroad for grad school, something never really seen in prior years.
We are watching a brain drain from our country in real time; what an unforced error that will have generationally long reprecussions.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the best defensive lineman in the world players power forward for the New Orleans Pelicans.
Thinking back on Julius Peppers career and contrasting it with Williamson; does Peppers focus on basketball full time with today’s NBA salaries?
Incentives matter!

Every year I get more and more teary eyed during commencement. Seeing the culmination of years of work done by your bf colleagues and mentees (and mentors) is a deeply moving feeling.
So proud of the entire Caltech class of 2025 both graduates and undergraduates!

Flying into LA after traveling is always depressing; LA should be one of the greatest cities on the planet and instead it’s a destitute suburb.
America needs to revitalize and modernize our cities, it’s embarrassing.

We find that LLMs (we test 6 models) tend to trade around fundamental value in a fixed FV experimental market; compared to humans who generally create bubbles!

Should we find this at all surprising? Knowledge is building on top of eachother. As we go deeper the pre-requisites increase.
This is like saying Calculus is harder than Algebra; frontier math is getting harder to understand!

Over the past 80 years, academic writing has become substantially harder to read 📉🧪 www.economist.com/science-and-... I analysed 350k PhD thesis abstracts and found that they've become more complex in every discipline, especially the humanities and social sciences

Not sure what it is about ML but I always tend to spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on the theory/math of a model;
And not nearly enough time playing around with the model.
I’d like to switch to the latter form of learning, but it’s proven to be difficult mental process to escape

Anyone have a good example of a pre-registration document? Ideally something in the Cognitive sciences/Neuro but open to any.
Also let me know if there’s a good resource to find a few.
