Why are o365's footnotes hidden from view? Why do they export to PDF using different numbering than is visible in the doc? I truly don't understand the thesis of the Microsoft product suite.

It's been cold in New Haven for a while. How cold? How long? What about other cities? I used claude code to cook a webtool to explore what I am calling the "cryofront": the minimax curve of how cold it's been, for how long. Feedback welcome! (AI coding is wild y'all.) jugander.github.io/cryofront/

Our results indicate that extended periods spent in poorly ventilated classrooms may be a stronger driver of within-school transmission than individual contact rates.

We found that while close contact contributed to elevated risk (rate ratio 1.16 per doubling daily time, 95%-CI 1.01–1.33), time spent in shared classrooms and poor air quality had larger effects (RR 3.17, 95%-CI 1.96–5.17 and RR 1.90 95%-CI 1.23–2.94) respectively).

We're hiring multiple faculty positions! Full time positions in CS for 1 or maybe 2 years.

We care about and support both teaching and research, and past visiting faculty have gone on to TT R1 and SLAC jobs. We're located near Philadelphia.

Happy to answer Qs!

TIL "usufruct" is a word. Means the right to enjoy use of someone else's property without destroying it.

Latin roots: usus et fructus (use and fruit/enjoyment)
Bluesky is mad because people here fetishize the physical object of a book as a symbol rather than the meaningful information it contains. I’m sure Elsevier et al would love the hypothetical IP regime where you only have usufruct to your books and it’s illegal to destroy them or transfer ownership!
Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books to oversee its secret "Project Panama," new court docs show — quietly buying millions of used books in bulk, breaking their spines and scanning them to feed into its Claude chatbot. wapo.st/4rjXAMQ

Models can be powerful tools to study associations in data. But do they reliably reveal the truth?

🚨 In our new study, @danlarremore.bsky.social and I show that the model used to estimate VE from test-negative designs (TNDs) may not translate to other correlates of risk.

On Dec. 30, Santa Clara County, CA held a $13 million runoff for county assessor.

Turnout dropped 53%, and the winning candidate got fewer votes in the runoff than in the general election.

All of this could be avoided w/ #RankedChoiceVoting. @calrcv.bsky.social ⬇️

Am I the only one who feels like we should be able to decide how to live and regulate society without forcing absolutely every question into randomized controlled trials?
This a good start. One caveat here is that it is hard to figure out the total causal effect of social media when you only incent participants to reduce their own use for a short period.
But I take your point that the ideal study would be a large-scale RCT that manipulates social media usage as a registered report. We are running that study now around the world in 23 countries and I'll get share the results once we have them. globalsocialmediastudy.com

A question I thought about deeply back when I started working on measuring income inequality: how does society innovate ways for some people to continue getting ever wealthier when that necessitates providing ways for other people to generate the necessary liabilities.
