How good are you at making decisions under uncertainty *without* having any verbal (or other explicit) information?

Likely better than you imagine!

If you haven't read "AI Agents for Economic Research" by @akorinek , you should drop everything and do it right now. Get up to date or get left behind. Link in the next post.

La follia fa presto a diffondersi quando le persone normali abbassano la guardia in nome di una mal concepita e suicida "tolleranza".

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

Bessent misses the point when he focuses on debt vs. equity. Either way, his trip to Ukraine was to demand that Ukraine give a stream of income to the US as some kind of compensation. Read Keynes. This was the central error of Versailles.

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

Sad spectacle today of the United States government siding with Russian aggressor against Ukraine. I would have resigned from any Administration that behaved so grotesquely.

Secretary Bessent says I am wrong to have described him as seeking to impose Versailles-like terms on Ukraine the victim, rather than the aggressor.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Transfer students who entered the degree through a block transfer pathway (advanced standing) outperformed others in terms of grades, graduation, and retention rates.

[Mobility Research @CRSM_Seneca]

55% of college degree entrants were transfers, with over a third transferring from their own college, 17% from a university, and 11% from another college (many attended more than one inst. type).
