Arguably, that's what referees at journals are for, when unrefereed working papers are vetted. I'm sure Referee 3 vil point out eefen earlier Literatur for zat Titel: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termina...
When you are preparing to invite a bunch of applicants to interview for a pre doc position, you gotta prepare yourself by reading the appropriate literature.
It's all the fault of the Nobel Peace prize committee for the choices they made. But I also think that other deeply considered peace prize (you know, ⚽) got it wrong...
Well, and talent, with places like mila.quebec/en and people like Joëlle Pineau and @yoshuabengio.bsky.social
Are you suggesting that Claude be made an honorary citizen of Canada? Or that Claude can ask for political asylum in Canada?
I might just re-up my subscription to Anthropic.
This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black...
A picture of Joe Halpern smiling in green shirt in front of a blue background.
Today arXiv remembers our colleague Joe Halpern, who was instrumental in founding arXiv's CS section.
Joe's passions ranged far & wide and we're lucky that arXiv was one of them. Joe, thank you for giving so much to arXiv - you are missed.

So that's why T47 had to create the pseudo Security council "peace board". His wife told him to go play outside with his friends...
I start off in 🇫🇷🇨🇦 for the "summer" school at @ciqss-qicss.bsky.social (May is NOT summer in Montréal), soyez les bienvenus! aeadataeditor.github.io/talks/2026-0... conjointement avec Marie Connolly (Data Editor for #CJE)
That's the response to getting his hand slapped for taxing Americans without any legal right? (Tariffs) Aliens?
I do note that Charles I was arrested in Newark, tried, and was ultimately beheaded. Stuff that can happen to kings and those that style themselves as such... Oh, and as @pkrugman.bsky.social tends to say: Musical coda...

Next thing we know, they'll say that computing any inflation rate higher than 2% is treason...
Hm. In @nytimes.com version, "Gov't does not have the power to erase... truths". They sure try! And sometimes it can even work. Independent media are crucially important. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
No, I was not on a Ski-doo, I was following its tracks on the lake, because way easier than plowing through snow on narrow cross-country skis...
My personal Olympics... Or: the razor-blade paradigm for cross-country skis. The skis are cheaper than the shoes, but both are tied together. After my 30-year old boots disintegrated, I just needed new shoes... but nobody makes the binding anymore, so... also need new skis...
This cannot end well. See www.smithsonianmag.com/history/cuya... for future fiction.
I think the study didn't take into account that fancy espresso machines decide to tell you "its time to descale" just when you need that coffee the most...
Hm. Useful, but...

Would save the entire step about parsing PDF... (ASCII file with Stata-specific markup). Don't know how comparable it is - content is not identical.
The logical consequence is that the IRS, or it's supervisor (Bessent) go to prison for 5 years. That's what the law says.
So Canada 🇨🇦 has half of the three medals?
Of those exports, 77% were to the US. But that's 77% of 18.6% - still not great. But as exports to the US decline, so do imports. Not rosy - but don't just give in to the mafia.
Exports were 18.6% of GDP in 2024. Overall trade balance with US was +3.2% of GDP in 2024. Trade goes both ways. I don´t think that Statistics Canada is poorly informed.
Having a dog that needs to take a last walk at 9PM when it is -22c / -7F + windchill is a great way to move your body outside even when it is cold...
Eleanor Wilkin and I are jointly searching for a #predoc (start: July 2026). This is the successor to my current fantastic pre-doc assisting the @aeadata.bsky.social but also working on Eleanor's work between econ and law! More information at www.ilr.cornell.edu/news/post/ld...
It appears to have been trained by politicians...
