Will King @youainti.com · 12/10/2026The ATF did release a rule change a few days ago where they are not requiring forms for items with taxes reduced to zero. There was an injunction (5th circuit I believe) and the ATF decided to apply nationwide for consistency. 000
Will King @youainti.com · 11/10/2026So I'm not so certain. The number of places that run into issues when they get hit with ransomware doesn't give me high hopes. 120
Will King @youainti.com · 11/10/2026I initially thought "there's 10 hours of material in the hobbit" but as a sanity check I summed up the total time of the BBC's radio drama of the hobbit, but it was only 209 minutes long. 120
Will King @youainti.com · 28/09/2026Do you accept/want multiple obsevations per person? I've found a bit of variance even if I take it back to back, not to mention sitting in different lighting situations. 000
Will King @youainti.com · 26/09/2026It doesn't feel like abusing or domineering someone if you're receiving praise and acceptance from them. 010
Will King @youainti.com · 19/09/2026Not surprised by that at all. He visited my University a few years ago and the time he spent with us grad students was really wonderful. 020
Will King @youainti.com · 19/09/2026Home ecconomics is the original economics. The word economics comes from the greek for household management.en.wikipedia.orgDefinitions of economics - Wikipedia 010

Will King @youainti.com · 08/09/2026On the US side those changes will show up as changes in (service) exports, and on the other as changes in who they import those services from. 001
Will King @youainti.com · 08/09/2026Not my area of specialty, but as the only thing being produced by the gold is storage costs, and the only thing produced by the change is transportation fees, the change is going to show up in GDP/GNP under those two categories. 121
Will King @youainti.com · 08/09/2026Consumer prices are more elastic, so reductions in supply will affect prices less. 001
Will King @youainti.com · 05/09/2026May be 4k77, a scan pulled from an original film reel. If the music ever sounded slightly flat, thats probably the one. 010
Will King @youainti.com · 04/09/2026Is that growth quarter to quarter or year over year? Also, is it annualized? 000
Will King @youainti.com · 02/09/2026I heard about it as a kid, but I was a weird one who liked reading the news from the yahoo homepage... 010
Will King @youainti.com · 01/09/2026I'm interested. If you'd like, we can chat for a bit about what you're trying to do with the data because good analyses depend on the questions you've got. Just shoot me a dm to connect. 000
Will King @youainti.com · 31/08/2026Bad. I can't tell if a man died by crashing into a tree during a pursuit, after the persuit was already, or hit a tree that was following cops that were already on a chase. Two of those are sad, and the other is crucial evidence that plants are mobile. 000
Will King @youainti.com · 23/08/2026Optimist: the cup is half full. Pessimist: the cup is half empty The other half of the economists on Bluesky: what was the assignment mechanism and can we use it to causally identify the effect of optimism on lifetime income or education outcomes? 020
Will King @youainti.com · 23/08/2026BTW, "Cynicism is corrosive to moral courage." is a banger of a line. 030
Will King @youainti.com · 22/08/2026Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I've been generally aware of the use of outgroups etc, but this was a viceral explanation and demonstration that helped cement how dehumanization is part of that. Thanks to you, I learned something new. 010

Will King @youainti.com · 16/08/2026Yeah, isn't it close to 365.24 days per year or something? Any other changes need to address that thousandths place so 2000 years sounds about right. 000
Will King @youainti.com · 10/08/2026I would propose "the model's likelihood information (matrix)" instead of namimg it after a person, with all the provenance issues that brings. I think descriptive names are best because they can help remind you what something is or a detail about its application. 010
Reposted by Will KingTore Ellingsen @toreellingsen.bsky.social · 08/08/2026People arguing that all actions are selfish (because they ”maximize utility”) are lazy thinkers. They mistake a poor definition of selfishness for a clever insight. 031
Will King @youainti.com · 06/08/2026Just going to note that in a DV situation there are often (but not always) options like leaving and calling the police. Last time people seriously tried leaving the union it killed millions. There are good reasons to try to solve these problems politically. 040
Will King @youainti.com · 06/08/2026Yeah, I remember an Egyptian tour guide explaining to me that some of the political instability they were facing was because US ethanol subsidies had made wheat (and thus bread) significantly more expensive. That was in the spring of 2008 or so. 050
Will King @youainti.com · 31/07/2026No, they don't. Also, if they did it would probably solve the water shortages that are attributed to data centers. People notice the problems with data centers because they are new, but ag gets a pass because it has "always been that way" (ignoring water wars...) 0100

Will King @youainti.com · 11/07/2026What they did differently from many people who are misled by AI is that they went out and checked/validated it's suggestions and then used that to improve their outcomes. 000

Will King @youainti.com · 06/07/2026Thats interesting to me because a very similar claim was made by Mississippi when they rebelled.battlefields.orgThe Declaration of Causes of Seceding StatesThe Declaration of Causes made by Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas. 000
