A group of four people stands beside a vertical banner for ATP Global, displaying "Welcome to Innovations in Testing." They are indoors on a patterned carpet, dressed in business-casual attire, and wearing name badges.

My daughter occasionally greets me with "what are people wrong about today"?

Fired...like a dog?
Every couple of months or so, someone puts out a piece of bad social science meant to undermine the case for more housing. For Roosevelt Institute, I wrote a blog post responding to the two most recent specimens. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/there-i...
Lots of really cool results that didn't get written up because we couldn't find a good home for them.
(Personal favorite - work with a micro lender that found that default risk was higher when the initial loan was a round number)
Key wasn't just that the paper was relevant to the journal, but that there was a defined timeline for submission and review that worked with non-academic schedules.
(ie, not everyone would have left the org before it got published)
Paper on NYCHA trash collection got published in a symposium on Behavioral Implications on Adinistrative Burdens

Two examples:
Paper on how South African adolescents perceive HIV risk got published in JEBO, because we knew they had a special volume on experiments in developing countries.

Sometimes I've published the results of RCTs in academic journals, sometimes I haven't.
I don't think that the primary determinant was "is the finding interesting or important" as much as "is there a connection at a relevant journal".

Man, the combination of ignorance, arrogance and thin skinnedness in that interaction is still incredible.
In third grade, we had to write letters to our secret Santa. I wrote a lot of mean stuff about "Matt Darling" to throw them off the scent, but they told the teacher about it because they wanted the pen pal to get in trouble.
Balaji: I burned a million to.tell you they are printing billions!
Medlock: I burned $200k to tell you that lie liberalism is good, actually.
Tony Dokoupil paid for it. In two days we will finally have Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil, hosted by @liberalcurrents.com
I heard Stancil sold his house to get the money! He lives in his Fit now.
Let's all speculate on the identity of the Liberal Currents whale!
My guesses:
1.) this is how Alan Cole spent his DOGE winnings
2.) JB Pritzer bought it to manufacture consensus that he should be the 2028 nominee.
I wish BlueSky didn't have the feature where people can't see phrases in parenthesis.
Elites hate Medicaid work requirements, but they are very popular!
But the reason elites hate them is they are ineffective at achieving their state goals.
At some (not all!) margins, elite consensus is "does this actually work?", though.
The horse was built on the beach of Troy, using wood from Mount Ida. Both the parts and manufacturing occured in Troy with guidance from Greek designers.
And 2021.
(Be careful with ecological regressions, though)
Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.

Quick example - making this graph a gif.
None of the code is complicated, but not necessarily worth spending 15 minutes on for the twitter post. But worth asking Claude to do it.

Its funny how little of my *work* Claude Code can replace *while* it dramatically increases the scale and scope of my *nonsense*.
