Quarterly reminder Krugman was absolutely dead to rights with this quote people try to dunk on him with: since 1998 total factor productivity grew 0.6% per year and prior to 1998 it had been growing 0.68% per year. The fax machine was actually super important!

Dario is not wrong. One employee with a current working basic knowledge of how to use an LLM can do the cognitive tasks of 10 people in the pre-LLM world. Add agentic AI to the mix, and one employee with a good understanding of AI can automate the work of multitudes. Listen to economists?

Juliet Mitchell is probably one of the best writers to have been wrong about almost everything
francis@pachabelcanon
Juliet Mitchell's definition of what sexuality means in psychoanalysis is the clearest I've read. it also really sheds light on what libido is and how it differs from the normal understanding as the desire to have sex or a Jungian "mental energy"

I think that breakfast should honor traditional values, that lunch should be progressive, and that dinner should be transgressive, and many theorists agree

This is how enjambment can work in a poem. Bridge 77 on the Macclesfield Canal allows a horse to cross the canal without having to untie it from the canal boat.
