Yeah I have seen this. It’s 100 dollars probably well spent but I don’t think anyone would pay for it

If I find someone cheating, it's a straight fail. AI cheats all the time.

Why should one use this instead of Rcpp?

Depends on the journal, but given that exceptions to the data policy must be sought upon initial submission, that is the point to also supply IRB etc. referees clearly need to see this. this is not official policy but best practice. This story is another great data point in my repertoire.

Florian Oswald @floswald.bsky.social · May 17

A lot? Well, if preparing a referee report takes x hours, spending 5% of x hours on that sort of stuff seems time well spent. 🤷‍♂️

Florian Oswald @floswald.bsky.social · May 17

Is it true that this got an R&R at QJE? How come they did not ask for IRB and other supporting documentation?

Had a great day out @eui-eu.bsky.social yesterday giving the macro seminar. What a place to do research!

Big news reported by @allyversprille.bsky.social of @bloomberg.com: For 90 seconds last Monday, air traffic controllers at Newark “temporarily lost radar and communications with the aircraft under their control, unable to see, hear, or talk to them.” Several staffers took trauma leave afterward
