@Erscheinuung Normal, é como nossa área funciona. No fim eu trabalho dessa forma também na política, só é um negócio meio "prefiro estar certo a ser feliz" e, com sorte, poucos minutos depois perceber que o paper não replicou e você tá errado e infeliz.

@dannielduque Sim, ele chancelar isso aí só prova que a credibilidade acadêmica dele não era séria para garantir comportamento técnico.

@jamilkpc Ele não só entrou no governo para ser técnico, mas para chancelar e levar a cabo políticas péssimas, como a isenção de impostos sobre gasolina a meses da eleição

@lucasit Sim, acho a atuação dele bem questionável. Eu pessoalmente não avaliaria como positivo ter confiado em alguém que tentou dar golpe e faria mea culpa. Meu ponto é mais ele falar da credibilidade acadêmica que, ao meu ver, foi inegavelmente perdida e com razão.

@jamilkpc Bons pontos. Ninguém será 100% científico em um governo. Agora, tem que saber dizer não ao chefe em momentos chaves. No gov FHC, toda a diretoria do BC ameaçou pedir o boné caso ACM impedisse a liquidação do Econômico. Já Tebet e Sachsida avalizaram Pokemón e cloroquina. Escolhas

I am very happy that my survey paper, "Deep Learning for Solving Economic Models," is forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Literature (pending final replication checks, which should be quick).
The paper benefited greatly from the editor, David Romer, five referees, and many friends who read earlier versions. I believe the result is a solid introduction to the field, though in 48 pages, there is only so much one can do. So, I created a companion webpage:
sas.upenn.edu/%7Ejesusfv/dee…
where you can find the paper, the code, and some slide decks with my teaching material. My plan is to expand the slides over time, adding new material and updating them as new results appear. I will probably do a thorough revision once the spring semester is over.
Those who follow my feed know that I think deep learning is the most fundamental change to computational economics in the last 40 years. I am by now convinced it is more important than the development of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods in the early 1990s or the introduction of projection and perturbation methods in the 1980s. To find a comparable shift, one would probably need to go back to Richard Bellman's invention of value function iteration in 1957.
More pointedly, we need to redesign the Ph.D. in economics. Not at the margin. From the ground up. Economists can either fully embrace the deep learning revolution or become irrelevant, as has already happened, I would dare say, to some fields in academia that refused to accept reality.
Finally, let me apologize to everyone working in this area whom I could not cite. Space was a binding constraint.
And yes, this post was written with the considerable help of AI. There is nothing I am prouder of than the fact that AI is now an integral part of every step I take in my professional life.

Democracia en América Latina
Acabo de hacer mi pedido de este libro nuevo de @AnriaSantiago y Kenneth Roberts sobre América Latina.
Por lo que he leído, y conociendo a los autores, este libro sin duda arrojará luz sobre la dinámica política de la América Latina contemporánea.

Here's my contribution on using agents to support academic research.
I've got a pipeline going now with coding agents that checks arxiv, twitter, bluesky, philpapers, a bunch of journals, many RSS feeds and more, classifies it against a long statement of my lab's interests, shares it with me for further curation, then generates daily summaries for my lab, finds and ingests pdfs (and markdown files) of all articles mentioned, and incorporates them into a vector store with rich analysis and summaries for future searches. We can then call an agent in our slack who can do literature reviews, find papers, and just talk to our corpus of papers.

Want to start using Claude Code for academic research? Or see incredible things other researchers are doing with Claude Code? Here's a thread of 5 great tutorials, skill and projects you can start using right now. I'm also keen to do an online "reading group" to work through these and others every week. Beginners welcome. Let me know below if you're interested. 1/ Chris Blattman shares an entire suite of tools he build in the last 4 weeks:

Are you a social scientist who has been hearing about Claude Code but hasn't checked it out yet? Or are you a social scientist who has been playing with Claude Code and has been wondering what it means for the future of social science research?

@ZinhoFFz @Erscheinuung Vivo falando de Schmitt no grupo e tu não sabe que é pica, anjo?

@Erscheinuung Pergunta genuína de alguém que não entende do assunto: o que tem para se reabilitar em Schmitt?
