me next time there's a metrics symposium: "Newey-West 1986 has 26,000 cites, it should not be "discussed" by other econometricians as if it is a regular econometrics paper but rather the love of the people for HAC SEs must be respected"

every feed is another lever you can pull. sometimes the lever has hooks to keep you pulling. the only way you find out is by pulling. at least the hooks here are probably unintentional, for now.

a recsys that maximizes time on app is kind of a hostile thing to build when you think about it. it also seems like the kind of thing that would emerge from extended use + algorithmic diversity + directed search
