Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

Social science folks: Have AI-powered phone surveys reached the useful stage yet?

I found this paper arxiv.org/abs/2502.20140 from this company 60decibels.com, but it's still missing a rigorous test. This is potentially useful too: www.usesimple.ai

Who has looked into this? Thanks for any hints!

A vast array of data suggests that school, not social media, is the biggest modern threat to the mental health of children. If you were recently a child, that won’t be a surprise. If not: enjoy the post :)

🚨 New Study 🚨

@arxiv.bsky.social has recently decided to prohibit any 'position' paper from being submitted to its CS servers.
Why? Because of the "AI slop", and allegedly higher ratios of LLM-generated content in review papers, compared to non-review papers.

Hahahahaha I appreciate the thought

My solar panels are sadly covered under a pile of snow and probably won't be free for another few weeks...

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias.bsky.social · 1d

Getting closer and closer to the point where solar will be able to meet almost all our summer residential electricity needs. Lack of daylight in winter continues to be a thorny problem.

What's so funny is I think I also got a bunch of weird LinkedIn comments too, but LinkedIn is so bad at showing you comments that I missed all of them
