@wakincognitwo - Exogenous timing: in real life, people can decide to play early or to wait to gather more information. This also never happens in information cascade models (too difficult to solve). So these models are funny to study, but not that useful to understand the world :(

@wakincognitwo - asymmetry of observation: you often observes only one of the possible outcomes. - gain reduction: in 99% of these models, the gain is the same for all positions. In real life, when you can get more information by observing others, often you reduce the gain (vc capitalist).

i always look back on this when i get squeezed in an elevator.

Public funds to Italian firms in disadvantaged areas (ex. Law 488/92) permanently increased employment, but allocation matters: Firms selected by objective rules create more jobs per € than those favored by local politicians. econometricsociety.org/publications/e…

You have probably seen the famous bell curve hundreds of times before. It is often referred to as some sort of “probability”. Contary to popular belief, this is NOT a probability, but a probability density. What are densities and why do we need them?

@peterwong_xyz Do you often see something related to humans growing x37 each year. Please tell me when you got someone going this. 1% per week is already quite nice for most people and goals.

@MishaTeplitskiy Police should not kill people, Palestine should be free or women should not be raped, yeaah very advanced claims. 🥲

Slogans like #BelieveWomen #DefundThePolice and #FreePalestine cause a lot of controversy that's ostensibly about policy. But these slogans are vague, open to interpretation. People who agree with them have fairly moderate policy positions in mind sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

AI is the videogame industry all over again. as the industry got more competitive and ran up against hardware constraints, ability to code close to the metal at low levels of abstraction became important. now i’m in research, not games, i find myself writing about the same thing

Annie Altman isn’t your picture-perfect victim — she’s been a sex worker, eccentric, and doesn’t fit society’s mold. But her allegations against her brother, Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, should demand our attention as he gains power in AI and government. Warning: graphic 🧵1/
