My wife secretly hand painted a number of wooden hex logos of #rstats packages I’ve created / worked on over the years, I love them so much!! Each is roughly the size of an open hand.

Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy. The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.

Today, feeling close to cosmopolitans or feminists separates voters of the left from right voters who identify with people who are down to earth and hard working. Yet, these identities do have structural roots, just like class identities did. Our short CUP book on cleavage formation is out in OA.

Fascinating article on translation and reference to the 'self'. 'Speakers and writers of Japanese have...a range of choices when referring to the self. Each of the Japanese pronouns is loaded with meaning, suggesting gender, age, rank or relationships between people (among other things).'

👼 As an applied RL researcher, this is the most optimistic I have been about RL in years. It feels like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when RL training starts working reliably. Without a ton of compute or tuning. Very excited for what is to come. Here is what we did👇

A cautionary tale unfolded last week as Denmark failed to attract bids for offshore wind. What can we learn from this? This is a multi-dimensional problem, but the primary lesson I believe is that Denmark wrongly expected developers to take on market risk. 🧵🔌💡1/9 www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Failed offshore auction highlights how Denmark missed winds of change
Denmark's failure to attract any bids in an offshore wind power tender this week stems from a rigid auction model, a failure to adapt to a changed economic reality for renewable energy projects and rising competition, analysts said on Friday.
