Just delivered at home. More importantly, in a world with powerful LLMs, the relative importance of understanding economics (as opposed to being able to complete a proof) just went up considerably. An LLM can solve a fixed-point problem faster than most of us. What it cannot do is look at a policy proposal and see the second-order effect, the incidence shift, or the margin that adjusts. That is price theory. No amount of computation will give it to you. Becker knew this fifty years ago: the power of economics was never in the math. The math was always the servant. The power was in thinking clearly about trade-offs, incentives, relative prices, and equilibrium. LLMs just made the servant very cheap. That makes the master more valuable, not less. P.D. One still needs to know the math. I am only claiming its relative price changed!

I didn't appreciate this until I read some Supreme Court of Canada opinions, then looked into other nations' high courts We Americans take for granted how smart, fair, and eloquent our judges are and how developed and good our law is, on the whole. It's so much worse out there.
Rookie of the Year@ahereza_nuwe

Every lawyer should read decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States even when they dont apply to their jurisdiction. Pure legal art. The legal reasoning and writing is phenomenal.

@constans The lesson of Trump v Biden is that voters have no agency beyond what tiktok videos they choose to watch

I haven't seen anything to alter my initial sense, formed years ago, that Hasan Piker is best understood as a highly skilled political entertainer.

Before you get started with muh infrastructure, Baoding doesn't have a metro system and its urban population is 6M+.

The best Chinese cities are very nice; but the drop-off is pretty radical once you leave the tier 1 cities. Also, the Chinese countryside, where a large part of the population lives, is far poorer than its western equivalent. Those are just basic facts.

Fascinated by this guy's very short Wikipedia. He ran unopposed in 2024 in an almost 2/3rds black district as a Republican that Biden won by 10% in

Very rough policy idea: Taxing urban businesses in proportion to hours they’re closed. (Alternatively, tax breaks for those with longer opening hours.) Businesses opened and staffed long hours—especially 24/7—are a useful and valuable urban amenity. They should be incentivized.

.@SecDuffy gives an update on rebuilding the air traffic control system with the $12.5 billion downpayment from Congress — though DOT will seek more funding (“DJT” noted on the tower renderings off on the sides, and behind him)
