if claude helps you with your research, are you too stupid to notice its sandbagging or is your research not interesting enough to trigger the filters

"Wow this diamond is so beautiful!"
"It was made by the blood of orphans"
"UGH, I HATE IT NOW"

...yeah, that's how it is, ya fucking idiot

Excited to share my paper on unemployment and suicide with @pescosol. Using big administrative data on suicide, we show that unemployed people are more likely to die by suicide, but their suicide risk is lower when and where more people are unemployed. https://t.co/HJ0WoLmP18

alas summer is gone and so too goes its bountiful harvest as i am yet again relegated to eating the overpriced and minified versions of its melons

[Sky CH. Wang @skychwang]

So I wanted to cancel my new phone line I made in China over the summer—because, well, I'm not in China anymore—and it turns out I can't because I didn't turn on "global roaming" to receive SMS confirmation messages and I can only turn it on if I'm physically in China so welp I'm just gonna keep getting charged each month I guess

I am on the faculty job market! I am a PhD student @BerkeleyISchool + @berkeley_ai. I work on NLP, and I believe all language, whether AI- or human-generated, is ✨social and cultural data✨. My work includes: 🧵

I plan to recruit 1-2 PhD students starting next fall. Come tackle exciting problems with me on Human Centered AI :-)

[Sky CH. Wang @skychwang]

i’ve had to rely on a multiple of this one well-known open-source developer’s libraries for a project. except, none of their code actually works. every single repo of theirs is plagued by user reported issues. zero actual documentation. still, thousands of stars. WHY BE LIKE THIS

Digging through the new 3B Apple Intelligence Model on Sequoia and found some interesting things. The base model itself seems to be around 1.7GB. and most of the new features like priority notifications, text-image, localization, guardrails etc. are just prompts to the LLM.
