After 3 years of conceptualisation + peer review, it's finally published my characterisation of Multiverse Analysis link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@heis_fede Nothing given that half of that 11 is cooked.

Best France XI without black players What can they achieve with this?😭😭😭

How originates the humorism of small children for jokes about the poo?

@pavolsizz Paolo ti si legge sempre col sorriso che si concede all'imperterrito, ma stavolta davvero non si capisce di che cavolo stai parlando. Forse intendevi "cameralismo razziale" nel senso di segregazione...

Le guerre tra europei non mi interessano, e anche l’Italia etnica (dalla Toscana a Malta, con la Corsica) fa parte della civiltà europide. Roma deve però mollare la Lombardia, favorendo il rimpatrio degli italiani. Così potrà sorgere cameratismo razziale, ciascuno a casa propria.

@dollarsanddata @rsharrott Now do Florence.

@rsharrott This is the “now do Japan” of generational wealth. The existence of an outlier doesn’t disprove the rule

There will be no permanent underclass because there is no permanent elite. "When 120 of Cornelius Vanderbilt's descendants gathered at Vanderbilt University in 1973 for the first family reunion, there was not a millionaire among them." My latest: ofdollarsanddata.com/there-will-be-…

As an Italian abroad, it's shocking how the Meloni government gets good press abroad for *doing exactly the same things* that Berlusconi governments used to do *and get bad press abroad for* 🤦‍♂️

@LucaPalatucci @aledeniz The delay in adoption contributed negatively towards the stagnation of the important Italian Universities. PhD programs also reduced the influence of familism in Universities. I think now Italy is in a better place compared to the 90' because the effort put in the PhD programs.

@LucaPalatucci @aledeniz Italy adopted PhDs very later because it never fully accepted that scientific discoveried should have been nurtured through standardised, bureacratic programs. In reality PhDs programs made exactly that army of technologists that served later USA and Germany's bureacracy.

No equivalence, neither then. Simply we didn't have PhDs.

@Mtg_Alan Airbending is Food Chain with four or five extra steps.

Well you see... Airbending has remained tier 0 or 1 through metas with Vivi, Omniscience, Cori, Lessons, Profts, Mice/nemesis, Landfall, and to this day. The deck is always the most broken thing in standard and just avoids bans because it's hard to navigate in tough situations.

Is AI the biggest change in education since the printing press? Yes. This weekend, I decided to learn about the life and work of Erving Goffman purely out of personal interest. Goffman was one of the most influential sociologists of the 20th century and a professor at Penn. I had a few free hours after a tough week of travel and work, and thought it might be a good distraction. I asked Claude to prepare a study plan based on my professional background, prior knowledge, and the hours I had available: an introduction to Goffman’s life and work, selections from his best and most influential writings, and an examination of his impact on social theory. The plan was outstanding. A top expert on Goffman would likely have done better. A 90th percentile real professor of sociology would not have, or at least not without serious effort. As I read The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life (complete) and Asylums and Stigma (selections), I could ask Claude for clarification, connections to the wider literature, and links to material I already knew. The Q&A and the exploration of collateral ideas were so good that I ended up spending much more time than I anticipated. Last night I had to force myself to go to bed. Did Claude get everything right? Perhaps not, but neither do I in my own graduate seminars. Even in my areas of top expertise, I often do not answer students’ questions precisely or correctly. One should not compare Claude to the perfect professor but to a real one. And every answer I could verify (I checked many) was at least a solid A-. Am I an expert on Goffman now? Of course not. But I would say I am now familiar with an important thinker at the level a regular master’s course on modern sociological theory would produce in the week it dedicates to him. Doing the same work using Google alone would have taken much longer. I know because I have undertaken similar projects with other thinkers in the past. One had to spend considerably more time before reaching the core of the contribution. I can now imagine someone designing self-learning courses in many fields that are better than what you can get outside the very top universities, at close to zero marginal cost. Where does that leave a normal university? I do not know. But colleagues in departments that want to stop the spread of AI are deluding themselves. This type of technology does not come once a century. It comes once a millennium.

Recent study shows massive +0.32 increase in TFR for couples who work from home globally (+0.45 in the US). If replicated this would effectively make @elonmusk with his opposition to remote work one of the world's leading anti-natalist activists.

@Stuffsoncosas I remember him saying he went full religiously active Buddist after, and then he integrated principles of the gospels later. Maybe he studied Buddhism before? He was looking for peace.

@GGCanto It happened after 1994? I thought he was already

Meazza, católico. Puskás, católico. Di Stéfano, católico. Pelé, católico. Eusébio, católico. Beckenbauer, católico. Cruyff, rare atheist W. Zico, católico. Platini, católico. Maradona, católico. Baggio, católico. Zidane, católico. Ronaldo, católico. CR7, católico. Messi, catolico

Balotelli has been insulted by many in his career. But calling him French has crossed the line

Italy for once was capable to generate a map that has not that bipartition.

@EdoardoMecca1 Non migliorata? Hanno speso più di Inter e Napoli assieme.

L’anno scorso la Juventus arrivò quarta grazie ad un rigore all’80esimo dell’ultima partita a Venezia. Come si poteva pensare che la stessa identica squadra, non migliorata nei ruoli chiave in cui aveva già lacune (difesa, centrocampo, esterni) potesse arrivare facilmente quarta quest’anno? A vivere nella mediocrità ed avere come massimo obiettivo il quarto posto lasciando le cose sempre come stanno, un anno ti va bene e l’anno dopo ti può andar male. In ogni caso fino alla fine. Della mediocrità.

Shout out to Catania and one of the best Matchday graphics I’ve seen recently.

@Ruffino_Lorenzo Ma sono correlazioni pesate per l'incidenza della popolazione?

Lo spaccato per macro regione mostra invece decisamente dei dati peggiori per il Sì, in prima modo al Nord.

Le correlazioni delle 23 danno delle linee abbastanza piatte, ma ora quella del centro-sinistra fa meglio di quella del centro-destra. Rispetto alle precedenti rilevazioni, ieri sera l'affluenza ha un po' rallentato ma rimane comunque alta.

Peacocks in flight

@AlessioCPFC @Federick90_ @ClassicalSocdem It's not religion but values. Bianco had a full program mixing cultural activities and solidariety. The new left does not care about this and offers nothing to the lowest social strata. Trantino won on a campaign based on stronger enforcing law & order in the streets.

@GGCanto @Federick90_ @ClassicalSocdem Ofcourse religion heavily influences the vote down there
