@MKBHD No, it’ll show the prompt

[Fikri Pitsuwan @fikripitsuwan]

Yep. I’ll be teaching micro with Math Notes this Fall. #WWDC24 #econtwitter #academictwitter @CornellBPP

[Marques Brownlee @MKBHD]

Ok you know what? That's sick
Math Notes = write down a math problem with Apple pencil and the app solved it immediately

They're not calling it AI (they haven't said it once yet) but that's powerful

After 8 years of research and teaching at different institutions, we've compiled a comprehensive guide to this emerging field.

Special thanks to all the institutions and colleagues who have supported us throughout this journey.

In 1940, Wittgenstein wrote to Norman Malcolm, who had just received his PhD from Harvard: “Congratulations to your Ph.D.! And now: may you make good use of it! By that I mean: may you not cheat either yourself or your students.

Our paper with @hans_gersbach and @fikripitsuwan on economic design of bug bounty is online. We develop a contest model with an arbitrary number of agents who decide whether to engage in a costly search for bugs or not. Search costs are assumed to be a private information.
