[Thread] I have been using GitHub for 9 months now, but simply by following the steps I was taught without properly taking the time to learn what each step meant and why it is modeled the way it is modeled. So I decided to make a small summary for myself (feel free to use it too)

A role model is basically a person who's trajectory (and I imagine success) reduces the uncertainty about committing to a given life-style. And a booster to your level of motivation (input 3). And a trigger of mimetic & belonging desire.

Is DNA basically a python script?

@ShuklaAngira @UChi_Economics @UChicago Congratulations!!!

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be moving across the midway to the Economics Department at University of Chicago for my PhD starting this fall! @UChi_Economics @UChicago

One final thought on this process is that in order to use some existing approaches, it is usually enough to get some big picture on it and implement it. But if you want to actually innovate/invent, you need to understand the raw inputs to the core. And that’s the hard part

(3) these two together kind of reminded me that I’ve faced similar issues in the past, and when you start digging into a major research question, you realize that current answers have their limitations, and that you can always do better than what exists

A reminder to my older self: (1) it’s important to be where things are happening because this will force you to ask yourself the right questions. (2) If you can’t be where the frontier is, at least get somewhere where things are moving. Questions will also arise there.

Thank you instagram for adding adds and ending my overconsumption of reels

I'm watching young Sheldon and just writing the research ideas that are coming out of it. Might need to co-author with the show at this point

overheard a new insult: you have a short context window 💀

For the culture Bridgerton should use a piano version of Bazooka in their next season

Yeah and so why mentioning the Brazil and France World Cup songs? Each team gets a university yearly hymn written by the chair of the Econ department.

Just heard the Brazil and France World Cup songs, and hear me out: We organise inter-university battles where a team of 5 researchers from the pool of participating institutions has to answer a question asked by some jury. The best project gets a trophy. (Sorry Alfred Nobel)

@Niihaaw Ill be honest, I’m not sure I do, but I was just running my regressions and I was thinking to myself that you need to make sure that your SEs are computed in the correct way such that your significance level remains the same regardless of the scale of X and Y

@cluelesseconstu just to understand better, do you have any examples of estimators that can't do this

A bit of a useless tweet, but for my own memory: one of the aspects to take into account regarding estimators is to make sure the inference you can make from them is invariant to linear transformations of the underlying variables.

@Niihaaw Smart, very smart, thanks for the idea

@cluelesseconstu a life hack is to leave work slightly early on Friday evenings and speedrun admin tasks then

I start having a feeling that the weekend was not meant as a pair of rest days but as a pair of days to get your admin life sorted out. WELP

Winter is parting away, and so is the daily fear of getting electrocuted by the light switches in my house

Seriously considering dedicating $1,200 of my next year’s personal budget to pay for Claude Max. The ROI is for sure positive
