I asked Opus and Suno to turn my article on the "China shock" narrative into a song. It's a brave new world.

Mietin pitkään kirjoitanko tänne mitään tapahtuneesta mutta ehkä tämä pitää kertoa, varoittavana esimerkkinä. Seuraa ketju vakavasta asiasta. Kuvan reitti on viimeisin pyöräilemäni matka, reilu viikko sitten sunnuntaina.

Is GenAI causing the relative decline in early-career hiring? Our latest research finds that these effects may be conflated with another important driver: the rise of WFH arrangements (1/N)

Automating AI research is exciting! But can LLMs actually produce novel, expert-level research ideas? After a year-long study, we obtained the first statistically significant conclusion: LLM-generated ideas are more novel than ideas written by expert human researchers.

Just put together a simple guide on how to vectorize R plots in PowerPoint. Check out my first Medium article 🥳 nalinan.medium.com/how-to-ve…
It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!

Summary of @ottokassi’s keynote at INDL-5: - platforms are quite bad at matching clients with freelancers (wages are distributed along a power law) - local wages are the best determinants of platform wages (there’s no race to the bottom effect) @INDL_Official

Signs of hope? 5 months after the start of the #UkraineRussiaWar demand for digital work from Ukraine has recovered. BUT Russian demand - perhaps due to ongoing sanctions - did not return to pre-war levels, as data from our onlinelabourobservatory.org show. #opensource #gigwork
