Using game theory to reflect on community trust. Very clean, very nicely done, and fun to play with (takes 20-30 minutes, but even a few gives you something nice): ncase.me/trust/
omg, yes -- e.g., "The world would be a much better place, and the workplace a great deal happier, if instead of telling women to say sorry less, we told men to say sorry a whole lot more."
Women are constantly told to change their vocabulary — to make it less apologetic and more assertive. But the truth is, we need to worry less about editing women, and more about editing incompetent and inappropriate men. s.hbr.org/3UdDCVc

my hopes for gen z taking over the academic review process is that it will be matched for harshness, but at least more efficient

I have long been frustrated by sound in restaurants---and it is getting worse, and here is why! Plus this show gives a shout out to a favorite haunt from Berkeley. castro.fm/episode/xjRDRs #fight_the_noise
I had never heard of this until today, but it delights me! Can't go wrong with a plateau of productivity. "Plateau" seems so bland as a word, and thus... I'm tickled.
Ok, so 45 billion executive pay for Elon Musk, and 6 million cars sold: this then works out to something like $7500 of every Tesla sold to date is going to Elon? Not feeling great about the invisible hand.
Excellent article on the less than excellent actions of the Harvard corp regarding past graduation: chronicle.com/article/the-ha…
I appreciate the analysis of what this means for academic freedom. (It ain't good.)
Check out this tiny tutorial written by my awesome postdoc Youngwon Kim about using LLMs (ChatGPT) to score essays for, e.g., research studies: cares-blog.gse.harvard.edu/p… (this will be part 1 of a 3 part series)

I was helping a colleague debug something today and saw him hit up arrow in shell a few times in a row to get previous commands. I taught him control-r and his mind was blown.
If you don't use control-r to search your shell history, it will change everything!

Check out this awesome new study by @jbgilbert1994 @bendomingue @LMiratrix Disentangling Person-Dependent and Item-Dependent Causal Effects: Applications of Item Response Theory to the Estimation of Treatment Effect Heterogeneity journals-sagepub-com.ezp-pro…
After a long road, Lee, Feller, Rabe-Hesketh and I finally got our paper on estimating distributions of cross-site impact heterogeneity accepted at JEBS (arxiv.org/abs/2308.06913)! A celebratory blog post on easy things to do is here: cares-blog.gse.harvard.edu/p… #empirical_bayes
The deep irony of posting this here is not lost on me, but I long for the ideal of discourse with attention to nuance rather than absolutism. In short, as a Jew I thank you Senator Schumer: nytimes.com/2024/03/15/us/po…. @SenSchumer
