SHREDDING!

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 18h ago

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

I have just been sent the transcript of a deposition my grandmother gave in 1977 while she was serving as an expert witness in a series of tribal rights cases and let me tell you, if nothing else this is proof that I come by it honest for every conceivable value of “it”

I mean, a spam journal will publish literally anything if you give them money. I really don't think we need a research article to answer this question.

These are just a couple of examples of the design challenges we faced during the project. I really encourage anyone who finds this interesting to read the appendix and read our list of deviations. Field experiments on platforms are hard.

Finally out in @natneuro.nature.com! A forgotten memory isn't always gone. We show that forgotten memories persist as silent memory traces, can be recovered by reminders, and can even be reconstructed into false memories. Excited to finally share this work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our in-house magazine wrote about IQMR!

Maxwell School@maxwellsu.bsky.social · last wk.

IQMR just wrapped its 16th year at Maxwell: 162 researchers from Yale, Oxford, LSE, Princeton, Columbia, and more, representing every continent except Antarctica. Since 2002, the institute has trained 3,500+ researchers in qualitative and multi-method methods. Read More: https://bit.ly/4fD6G2O

The 5yo's German is pretty limited, but he did go through the botanical garden singing "Farn, farn, farn, auf der Autobahn," so I'm quite pleased

I can respect that

Have we *ever* considered the possibility that the baby shoes were never worn because there’s literally no point in putting shoes on a baby; it’s not like she’s going to walk anywhere.

Leaving aside the Scottish question: I'd always assumed that most fans cheer for national clubs in int'l club competition -- I think most Germans cheer for Bayern, e.g., even if they hate them domestically. English folks don't root for other English club teams in the UCL?

@james-harrington.bsky.social · 3w ago

Every Scot I know will be rooting for Argentina and you can't blame them. I would too if I was Scottish. It's like asking Liverpool fans to support Man United if they were in the Champions League final.

That man does not set a single step wrong. I'm sure he will, eventually, but I don't think I have ever seen anything like this, at least not in the US

FWIW: my co-teacher & I experimented with cutting time spent on teaching programming to instead focus more on understanding and applying concepts; the feedback from the students was that they wanted more programming and explanation of the code (something we thought they would mostly ask an LLM about

This isn't true, though. One of the ways folks end up w hallucinated citations are BibTeX files or docs with in-text citations autocompleted w LLMs. This, tbc, is also quite embarrassing - don't let LLMs touch your refs unless you can individually check - but it's different from not reading stuff

I have a foolproof way to make sure that your papers contain absolutely no fake references . . . . . read the papers you cite.
