That's odd and new, I downloaded a rep package a few months ago with no issue. Now: "You haven't updated your profile in a while. Review and update your information if outdated information exists." What's the point?

p.s. Just email Dan Rees. I am sure he would mail it to you.

It is a rep. package and not some prohibited item. I do not see why you need to enter anything. Do you mind posting or DMing the link?

That's odd. I have downloaded some before and I have never had a US phone number nor have I lied about that.

There are pilots and research on (2). Lottery after basic quality control is something I think many can get behind in the social sciences.

Cold dinner aka bread is a totally acceptable dinner.

If warm I am all for capital-labor substitution in the hh. Air fryer, rice cooker with steaming basket, slow cooker all fair game.

I am really starting to believe they have some LLM write the menu based on what is cheap.

There is a chance that current LLMs amplify whatever is readily available online now & prevents novelty (e.g. we'll be stuck with R/Python/etc. vs new tools) for grants that would be grants that resemble existing grants, but then we're already there without LLMs. 🤷‍♂️

You might get GE effects though. Reducing costs -> increases applications -> lowers expected pay-off further - Then LLM providers gain and society overall looses. Incumbents might also gain, because:

Me too, but beyond the obvious what is "semi-quantitative"?

Absolutely, child mortality and pollution is pretty low, literacy is quite high. We developed multiple vaccines during a pandemic in record speed. We can use new tools to improve upon these things: bsky.app/profile/nber...
You get the gist 😉

Because (1) it's impossible to prove. (2) they might have already uploaded it themselves for better or worse reasons (3) they grew up with Napster, etc.

Say you can prove it's LLM writing. You still need to prove it's an online LLM and not a local one (no copyright issue).

Ich wollte auch ein "Highlight" posten, aber dann sah ich diesen Post und ich kann es nicht überbieten: bsky.app/profile/chri...
Facebook reminds me that on this day in 2017 a woman turned to me in the veg section of Sainsbury's and said "hopefully now we've left the EU we can have loose carrots that aren't wet"

Still the same.
