@ethayarajh Great. Send me an email.

I don't really understand this but it seems interesting. Maybe I need a tutorial

Happy to share that our paper "Mecha-nudges for Machines" has been accepted as a spotlight at NeurIPS 2026!

How do you use them? Do you trust them?

[Joshua Gans @joshgans]

It is intriguing to me why the Siri AI and Muse assistants seem so much more useful than ChatGPT and Claude. I think it is because they are focused on non-work stuff. Both have expanded my AI usage.

Merci!

Damon with the tweet of the day.

Someone should look into this …

[Owen Zidar @omzidar]

An awesome review of The Everywhere Millionaire!

[Richard H Thaler @R_Thaler]

There are, "more self-storage facilities in the U.S. than there are Starbucks, McDonald’s, Walmart, Home Depot, Domino’s, Dunkin’, and Costcos combined." Many owners would be included in the group Eric and his co-author @omzidar write about. Forget AI--think self-storage!

[Richard H Thaler @R_Thaler]

Two friends of mine have published this week on topics few would think to relate. David Owen writes a classic @NYer article about the business of self-storage units https://t.co/sZavd0Xc2c and Eric Zwick's new book came out on Everywhere Millionaires. https://t.co/YqrbzJdH3x

What he said.

Buena pinta este libro de @R_Thaler y @alexolegimas que he visto esta mañana en @casadellibro, publicado en mayo 2026 por @EdicionesDeusto. Recomendado además por @JesusFerna7026

Since 2023 state lawmakers have introduced more than 150 bills targeting campus diversity programmes. But our analysis of staffing data suggests their impact so far has been limited https://t.co/qMOq3fuShP

I would join team Moll but I am too old to be a good 10-year credit risk.

My post agreeing with @BillSimmons @ringer that 5-set matches are too long preceded last night's fiasco of a great match starting at 11pm. Some think it is just a "scheduling" problem but that is wrong. Long matches *cause* the problem, like yesterday. @geowu @katy_milkman

[Richard H Thaler @R_Thaler]

@sls541 You can't schedule around 5-set matches.

[Richard H Thaler @R_Thaler]

Ok we have Shelton v Alcatraz on deck that won't start much before 11pm and we want 5 sets? Who will be awake or in the stands if it goes past 3 sets?

[Katy Milkman @katy_milkman]

@R_Thaler I could settle for 3 sets instead of 5 for the men. But I love the long matches and exciting changes of momentum. And they give you enough time to eat, drink, chat, and keep up!

[Richard H Thaler @R_Thaler]

@IlariLehti Yes 8 game sets.

[Richard H Thaler @R_Thaler]

Completely agree. My proposal: make the majors sets up to 8 points in the majors, men and women. That is enough.

[The Ringer @ringer]

@BillSimmons: Are tennis matches too long? 🤔

[Richard H Thaler @R_Thaler]

@katy_milkman How many 5 hour matches do you watch Katy? There is one on now that I am switching off.

[Richard H Thaler @R_Thaler]

@SSwiber @silver83p Yes.

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Disappointingly, this article says that what I already knew about recycling (it’s good for aluminum but not really for plastic) is basically correct.
