@misterp55@DanNeidle@LilyWonderland5 Instead, growth is the result of productivity gains through the accumulation of "ideas", which are limitless. Currently we are burning through the world's resources not because growth demands, it but because our technology has demanded it; and that is a trend that is slowing
@misterp55@DanNeidle@LilyWonderland5 Growth isn't defined just by using more resources; in fact, all that has happened for millennia when we use more resources in pursuit of increased growth is that we see increased populations but no increase in per capita output.
@jeff_on_sports Wilson isn't going outside the top 4 anyways, and everyone 5-9 is a 1/2 who wouldn't provide the kind of win-now frontcourt presence they were looking for with Zubac
@brolls27@UNCballTalk Freshmen don't enter the transfer portal, they just decommit. No reason to do so until the new HC is decided—then they can talk with the new HC about his plans for the team and where they fit in
@Roysrocker Well sure, but spending clearly isn't the only issue, as teams who are spending less are still outperforming us. Just throwing more money at a bad system won't work—just ask IU, who hasn't made the tournament since 2023, or Ole Miss, who's only made it twice in the last decade.
Issue 4: Table 6 studies the effect of cluster size on patent quality, measured using citations. M21 claims to use log citations, but the code actually does log(y+0.00001). When I use log(y+1) or Poisson, the effect switches from positive to negative.

Note: upset bonus gives extra points based on the seed difference for correctly picking an upset—picking a 12 seed over a 5 seed in the first round gives 1 + (12 - 5) = 8 points, which is 8x the normal payout for picking the 12 seed
Spent hours making my primary March Madness bracket that I would submit to a pool with friends who know a lot about basketball, only to realize that they have "upset bonus" enabled... time to rework everything with some extensive EV calculations I guess
