Modest proposal to fix NBA games: instead of the same old terrible post game interviews with players (“we just executed”), interview family members. Don’t you want to know what Jokic’s older brother thinks about the officiating?! He cannot be fined! #nba #playoffs

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Congestion pricing has improved life in New York City by: reducing cars on the street, speeding traffic (especially at peak hours), speeding buses and making them more reliable, expanding transit ridership, reducing car crashes, reducing noise complaints, and increasing the number of visitors. Fire response times fell in the NYC congestion zone, even as they increased in the rest of the city. Car crashes with injuries fell citywide, but they fell especially dramatically in the congestion pricing zone from 2024 to 2025 Local buses have sped up dramatically in the congestion pricing zone.

This new package for mediation is great! The user interface is *so intuitive* but the unsung hero of this software is the documentation:
Arguments data Not needed, wouldn't make your analysis and more correct. Details We have: X: a binary treatment variable, that is affected by an unmeasured confounder (U). M: a mediator, that is mostly driven by U, not X Y: an outcome, that is influenced by both M and U, but you can’t see U. What you don’t have: Any valid identification strategy Temporal ordering Careful causal reasoning Value Nothing, because you shouldn't do mediation analysis.

AGI is coming for all of us. It will write symphonies, direct movies, and author the best novels.

The only thing it won’t be able to do is VC investing, which must be reserved as a task only for the most-special people
Marc Andreessen says when AI does everything else, VC might be one of the last jobs still done by humans. It's more art than science. There's no formula. Just taste, psychology, and chaos tolerance.

It's hard to find the words. NSF just terminated the grant for Journeys, a mentoring workshop that tried to tackle underrepresentation of women in international relations. Future scholarship will be the worse for it. But this photo from our last gathering will motivate me to keep fighting.
