The Economist covered our "Strain on scientific publishing" paper.

What is this all about?

We collectively churn out more & more papers *per scientist*, an increasing pace, in a rapidly changing publication landscape.

Why? How? Want to make sense of this? 🧵

For those not on the other platform on Google and DOJ's proposed remedies for Google's 3rd antitrust defeat (adtech). I threaded Friday's hearing but this full doc is nothing short of beautiful. Best stuff may be missed so hear me out. This is a huge deal - 10yrs, "lifeblood of the Internet." /1

If Europe doubles defense spending now, it will get substantially less than double in defense goods and services. Prices have gone up. What matters for security is quantities, not expenditure

Happy 81st birthday to Brazilian mathematician Marilda Sotomayor! She has been a trailblazer in the area of game theory concerned with matching markets, which she started studying under David Gale in the 1980s, and subsequently brought back to Brazil.

Competition policy that sets market power to 1980s levels would lower the stock market by 45%. The remainder, due to accumulated retained earnings (35%) and a lower risk-free rate (20%), is unaffected.

Let’s hope for the Liz Truss lettuce solution:

The tariffs are so bad for the economy that the markets take care of it. The only issue is that an orange pumpkin 🎃 takes longer to decay than a lettuce 🥬

New randomized, controlled trial by the World Bank of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. Six weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions.

And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind.

Academics from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to
- not publish
- have outstanding publication records
- introduce more novel scientific concepts
- less likely to receive recognition, as measured by citations, Nobel Prize nominations, and awards.

100 years ago Saturday the NYT ran a story that did not hold up well at all.
www.nytimes.com/1924/12/21/a...
Headline: HITLER TAMED BY PRISON. BERLIN, Dec. 20 — Adolph Hitler, once the demi-god of the reactionary extremists, was released on parole from imprisonment at Fortress Landsberg, Bavaria, today and immediately left in an auto for Munich. He looked a much sadder and wiser man today than last Spring when he, with Ludendorff and other radical extremists, appeared before a Munich court charged with conspiracy to overthrow the Government. His behavior during imprisonment convinced the authorities that, like his political organization, known as the Volkischer, was no longer to be feared. It is believed he will retire to private life and return to Austria, the country of his birth.
