Had a lot of fun playing my version of #COST-Monopoly with family and friends this past holiday season – you can find the rules that we used below! Let me know if you have any suggestions! @glenweyl @RadxChange @RxC_NewYorkCity @RxcSeattle

@SaidHaschemi Man your reactions folder is on point 😂

Je recrute plusieurs assistants de recherche "predoc" pour nous accompagner à HEC sur le projet du LIFT. Nous allons lancer de nombreux projets sur l'IA, l'emploi, les compétences, la réorganisation des entreprises et la croissance. Si vous êtes intéressés et excité à l'idée de rejoindre une équipe scientifique qui veut changer la manière de travailler sur ces quesitons, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter.

Alz's posts are all killer no filler today

The glorification of noncomformity is so deeply ingrained in American culture. Think about "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Even the Christmas songs for children tell them: you are today's misfit, but you are tomorrow's hero

Assuming 10 grams of CO2 emitted per Gb streamed, this guy just saved 200 tons of CO2 a month! Fantastic!!

Just opened a PR yesterday that will reduce the binary size PyTorch by 40% by adding 1 flag to NVCC

With ~50M monthly of downloads of Pytorch, this one change will reduce global internet traffic by ~20PB. High impact changes like this is why I love OSS.

@gr0ssmann Why what happened?

The Atlantic (@TheAtlantic) has a piece this week by Marc Novicoff (@MarcNovicoff) that very kindly discusses my work on fertility:

I’ve shared many related ideas here on X (please do check past posts), but the best summary is probably my EBRD presentation:

@alz_zyd_ Do you think being able to use AI to write code to clean the data will change the incentives? The benefit from not publishing the data is to do more research on it after the first paper is out. If the cost of replicating your dataset goes to 0, why not publish it?

I'm honored to receive the Department Best PhD Thesis Award of @IP_Paris_ ! Special thanks goes to my supervisors @ulaitenberger und @schluwie03 , who always supported my along the way.

[Felix Schleef @FelixSchleef]

@varma_ashwin97 What are some examples? Sounds interesting!

[Felix Schleef @FelixSchleef]

@gregisenberg Super interesting! What do you think would be a good affiliate incentive scheme for a platform, where you need to acquire two sets of users, and one set is using the service for free?

[Renaud Foucart @RenaudFoucart]

@FelixSchleef Maybe it's healthier to just say: I value intrinsically living in a society that supports arts and philosophy. It's fine. No need to make Plato instrumental. (except perhaps for the fun of conservative types glorifying antiquity actually having to read Plato's takes)

[Felix Schleef @FelixSchleef]

@RenaudFoucart Yes for sure.. the people building consumer tech companies are also partners, parents and voters - maybe it doesn't need to be Plato specifically, but having thought a bit about philosophy can probably help in all those areas

[Felix Schleef @FelixSchleef]

Anthony seems to have struck a nerve, given the backlash. But just because you're not thinking about philosophy doesn't mean you're not following one. As Keynes might say: Practical men are usually the slaves of some defunct philosopher

[alz @alz_zyd_]

Reading Plato doesn't actually help you build consumer tech companies. A society which emphasizes Plato in education just ends up spending more time reading Plato, where that time could have been spent building consumer tech companies

Greece now borrows at a lower interest rate than France. 5-year government yields are now lower for Greece (i.e. negative yield spread).
