Last week I went to New York to talk to Robert J. Reynolds, PhD, for a new podcast series with @sobor.bsky.social and UBC. Rob had quite a story to tell about his work with causal models at NASA. #CausalSky #StatSky #MLSky

Yet further evidence that the way to view Brexit is through the eyes of the impact of the Quebec separation movement on Montreal in the 1980s. And I knew I should have bought that sweet Tokyo pad in 2016.

You can't help but read this FT story and think that P(Money Laundering | High Transfer Premium) = higher than you'd like. Like we are seeing the revealed preference for money laundering in a chicken shop on Uxbridge Road is about 70k... www.ft.com/content/1bc8...

US healthcare already has the highest administrative costs in large part because insurers and providers are locked into medical coding wars where they put increasing resources into trying to extract money from the other side. AI will only add to these costs.

This is batshit. Wealth creators are overtaxed relative to most but just identify the actual reasons. It is true, far too much cash is going to unsustainably bad use creating horrible incentives (triple lock, PIP ). The expenditure savings from scrapping / reforming both are immense.

This take falls apart the moment you realise that the same Jeffrey Sachs brand of economic shock therapy generated today's Poland (notwithstanding all the damage the shock did). But hey, Western leftists were never great at understanding the region.

Extraordinarily difficult to compete when energy prices and zoning are as restrictive as they are. Couple that with lack of access to major markets makes it difficult for the UK to take share in manufacturing.

Characteristically perceptive comment from @geoffmulgan.bsky.social. "Cognitive vulnerability" seems an important issue. I don't think (and am not sure Geoff thinks) that people are becoming stupider; rather, today's cultural environment creates more vulnerabilities.

Higher bond yields alongside a stronger $ suggest that right now USTs are rate product, reflecting expectations of strong growth. Which means that at these yields, bonds may be recovering their function as a portfolio hedge against those expectations being falsified by negative demand shocks.
