Same happened to me in July. Laka, my insurer, won't reimburse. Officially: no sufficient proof of ownership (I provided plenty). I suspect they don't like that the road bike was insured days before getting stolen, which in London is not unheard of. Now looking for any alternative to Laka

Exciting new London bike theft technique just experienced! My 200kg family ebike was securely locked to a tall metal pole which had a big parking restriction sign at the top. Three thieves turned up on Lime bikes with chairs, removed parking sign, then lifted bike 2.5metres over top of pole. Genius.

PAIS's @alexjabbour.bsky.social's co-authored article "Mass attitudes towards Russia’s aggression against Ukraine: Tentative support for top-down opinion formation" is out now in @ejprjournal.bsky.social 📰 👓

🔔🔔 Russian polls have shown ~75% support for the war in Ukraine since February 2022, essentially flat. New working paper with Kirill Chmel and @nikitasavin.bsky.social shows that number is stable partly because it stopped measuring what people actually think. 🧵 ssrn.com/abstract=711...

A year in the UK and I think I’ve quietly got the basics down

Argentina is about to become world champions without a single shot on target, and despite conceding a legit goal

Tentative support for preconceptions 🤔 These authors 🧵 look at variations in mass attitudes towards the Russo-Ukrainian War using two types of survey data, finding that top-down models of #PublicOpinion may better explain variations of attitudes across a country buff.ly/j12fNJ5

I’ve grown super worried about LLM agents w/ access to all my files and secrets. Existing sandboxes and containers felt hard to use day-to-day, so I built a small convenient utility to keep agents away from important stuff. It’s called “bulle” (for “bubble”). 1/2 vincentarelbundock.github.io/bulle

We have a new paper out in PNAS. Susanna’s thread outlines our findings. The big picture takeaway is that well-designed climate education (active, personally relevant, science-based) can complement fiscal and regulatory instruments by building public support for ambitious policy!
