old school so i fitted my iphone with an analog, gas-fueled zippo and an app that triggers a robotic arm to flick the flint whenever i tap the flashlight icon for those iconic encore/anthem moments at the club.

Research output after tenure drops off a cliff for business, economics, sociology, and other non-lab fields.

But it remains high post-tenure in lab-based fields such as chemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering.

ok but next we need a tool that tells me how awesome the paper is and which parts are the especially awesome parts

Refine is at a completely different level from the other LLM-based review tools I have tried. It not only identified a large number of small errors in my paper, it also correctly identified what I think is the biggest conceptual weakness. Definitely worth trying.

Gavin Newsom is not who I would have guessed would rise to meet the moment, but very few people in power are doing so and he's showing that it can be done.

Believe me, I couldn’t be more excited to return to critiquing him on policy someday.

But right now, in this exact moment, Gavin Newsom, is the de facto leader of the free world.

[running for president] There should be a mural on every bare wall in every city in this country. [huge applause] And every mural should be a cross-section showing whatever human activity is going on inside that particular building, like in a Richard Scarry book. [mild applause]
