1/n We've just put a new (long) paper online: osf.io/preprints/so... It's a new history of macroeconomics, and it's been one very, very important for me to write It summarizes what historians of macro have been up to in the 10 years, but more importantly...

thinking about the time a venture capitalist unfollowed me on twitter and said "no one should think this much about clothes." then they followed me again and emailed me to ask if i wanted to create an app together. i said no, so they unfollowed me a second time.

Handed a task to an undergraduate intern that is pretty difficult, but I’m trusting her to use AI to figure it out. AI has turned undergraduate RAs into something more like PhD RAs.

If you have used Claude Code or similar for research, I'd love to pick your brain on two issues I have been wondering about: - Data confidentiality: what kind of data do you give it access to? - Data security: how do you deal with the risk that the agent does something stupid with your data?

a substantial part of Middlemarch is about Dorothea's realization that the man she has married in the belief that he is a genius through his 'Key to All Mythologies' has wasted his life on a futile quest because he doesn't read German and is entirely unaware of modern scholarly work.

Today is evidence that the principles are simple and sound. It took me about a year of studying economics seriously to realize that we already know what makes countries rich. At first, I thought if I learned more math I could discover a secret.
