@SLBenfica Lamentável a posição do clube. O jogador do Benfica parecia saber muuuuito bem do que se tratava quando começou a reclamar instantaneamente após Vini ter falado com o árbitro. Se não tivesse falado nada de mais, por que a indignação? Por que tapar a boca com a camisa?

Como demonstram as imagens, dada a distância, os jogadores do Real Madrid não podem ter ouvido o que andam a dizer que ouviram.

This paper has been in the making for so long that eight children across the co-author group were born between the time we started and now! But it is finally out, and you can check it at arxiv.org/pdf/2503.13323

@RaulGuarini @FGV_EPGE Parabéns, Raul! Bonita essa cidade e vista aí, parece um excelente lugar pra trabalhar. Muito sucesso!

The academic job market was a long, wild, and very rewarding ride! I’m happy to share I’ll be joining @FGV_EPGE as an Assistant Professor later this year. I’m excited to be in Rio again! Doing research is fun… but doing research with a view is much better!

How does the Japanese government keep running deficits even though r not< g (without inflation, at least until recently)? To begin to answer this question, we consolidate the Japanese government balance sheet with the pension funds, the local government, the BoJ and the publicly owned banks. "What about Japan"?, joint with YiLi Chien and Hal Cole. The government seems to do this by running one of the largest carry trades: borrowing at the floating rate and then investing in long-duration assets, taking on lots of interest rate risk, currency risk and other risks to pocket large excess returns up to 3% of GDP. The Japanese government is running a SWF on borrowed money. Can you do that? Well, not if the government debt is priced correctly, because then the pricing of debt should fully reflect the additional risk of the risky assets (unless you're forcing taxpayers to pay more taxes in bad times). That's where financial repression comes in. Presenting tomorrow at 8.00 am. Session on Debt, Deficits and Inflation. Chaired by Chen Lian.

For ML, it is also the main intuition behind double selection in LASSO.

Very nice paper.

I guess the word here is "finally".

Under-appreciated stat from last week’s election: Labour won its lowest ever share of the vote in deprived areas (<50% for the first time), and its highest ever share in affluent areas. The result is a dramatic flattening of the class gradient in Labour support.

You've seen this before: Mont-Saint-Michel — the Wonder of the Western World. But did you know it has a twin, 200 miles away, also named after St. Michael? That's where things get really strange... (thread) 🧵

@lucaspolip I thought the reason for this was purely religious as it applies to almost all English-speaking countries? Something that rules out weekends as an option; don't remember what exactly though.

EU SOU DE SÃO GONÇALO E CAMPEÃO 2 vezes!! 🤍🤍🤍

I recently got to visit some Apple labs where they durability test new iPhones before they come out, and learned a few things (🧵THREAD) #1: Have you actually seen how they water test phones for IP ratings? (video)

@96Henrique Universidades no Brasil são extremamente mal geridas. Tanto pública quanto privada. Modificar a dinâmica delas é complicado. Provável que mais fácil começar do zero, mesmo.

Amazing placement! 👏

@paulgp Simon Board has some interesting insights/thoughts about theory papers
