For PhD students - ChatGPT is super helpful if you want to deeply understand a paper in your field- e.g. I'm working through Humphries et al. (2024), which is fairly technical, and it can generate questions to check my understanding, and then answer them very clearly. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Wait you're telling me that's Trump's CEA did the math, and it ended up being complete nonsense?
This is shocking to me.
Surely there's no precedent for an error this egregious.

It would be nice if @bsky.app would add a “share to IG stories” option on posts in the same way you can share Twitter posts directly to IG (with nice formatting).

Seems like a good way to pull more users into the app and decrease traffic to X.

Really cool paper Peter. Can you help me interpret Figure 2a? Is the takeaway supposed to be that the UD is higher for White children with a higher mean risk, but non-monotonic wrt mean risk for Black children? Or just that it's >0 for all mean risk levels? (or a secret third thing?)

Yes we absolutely did a professional photoshoot for our dog.
No I don't feel remotely embarrassed by it.

Not a paper, but in our 2nd year applied course our problem sets had us simulate data that was similar to what other papers had IRL. I found the approach to be really helpful.

So apparently you can buy that delicious sauce that T Bell uses in their quesadillas on Amazon??

Man I love capitalism.
