One of the clearest articulations I’ve ever seen of what it takes to actually deliver affordable housing. Restricting supply while subsidizing demand only drives up prices. Wish American politicians understood this…

When asked to share a short list of people in her Native Hollywood network, @lily_gladstone sent 42 names. Writers. Showrunners. Actors ages 18 to 75. Native cinematographers, editors, costume and set designers, and wardrobe and stunt specialists. theguardian.com/world/2024/feb…

President Biden has twice called me “Joe Joe” during today’s news conference. It’s a new nickname, I guess — one my niece has called me occasionally — but never POTUS.

Created a #Python package for #economic agent #simulations, from the paper "Large Language Models as Simulated Economic Agents: What Can We Learn from Homo Silicus?" by @johnjhorton 🚀 Check it out github.com/vikmation/Econ… ! 🙂

Seems like “generative AI helps the less able workers the most” is on its way to being a stylized fact in the literature

There are 4.1 million more full-time employees and 1.6 million fewer part-time employees in the U.S. now than before the pandemic. Workers have migrated out of precarious jobs into full-time jobs in a tight labor market.

Today, BEA updated the data and charts in our prototype measures of Americans’ economic well-being and long-term U.S. economic growth. This initiative joins BEA data with statistics from data partners, such as the Fed. See the latest at apps.bea.gov/well-being/

O-H! 1-0! How about your first-place @Reds?!

@wytham88 Btw, we should get together soon. It has been too long!

@markrembert It wasn't John but it's true!

Remembering today the seminar speaker from an East Coast school (while I was at Ohio State) who at lunch asked, "So what do you do for fun here? Tip cows?"

@wytham88 Haha. I'll just have to imagine that it really happened that way.

@wytham88 @johnjhorton Is this a true story?

@johnjhorton tbf I did ask if you wanted baked beans for dessert

You knew it was coming; here it is: via @OpenAI @danielrock An "early look" at potential labor market impacts of large language models like the GPT-4 Main takeaway: Up to 49% of workers could have half of tasks "exposed" h/t @robmaxim

If I could have squeezed my vinyl record collection into the shot, it would have at least been a 9/10, @ratemyskyperoom. But I'll take this score any day. :)
