2024-09-19 02:54:34 @SBenzell @jasonfurman I like your principle: If most of the money I taken from my paycheck goes to boost my own consumption, tax it. If most of the money taken goes to pay for other people's education, healthcare, roads, etc. then don't tax it (again). SALT strikes me as in the second category.

2024-09-19 02:33:24 @machineciv I tried it on several papers and there were no hallucinations. The references were also correct. I'll keep checking though, since you had a different experience.

2024-09-19 02:31:47 @SBenzell @jasonfurman Would you apply the same rule for foreign taxes paid? Should federal gov't tax people on money that's already been taxed by say the UK or France? Because they don't currently.

2024-09-19 02:25:27 @SBenzell @jasonfurman SALT is not a 100% credit, it's a deduction. Taxpayers still have to pay the state and local tax. However, they are not taxed again at the Federal level on money they never see.

2024-09-19 02:13:41 @jasonfurman Why tax someone for money they never see and that is largely used to help other people? Shouldn't two people with the same disposable income pay the same taxes?

2024-08-14 15:18:50 There's an overwhelming preference for eliminating tipping in my (unscientific) poll. I suspect we're stuck in a bad equilibrium. It's a classic coordination failure.

2024-08-11 17:13:27 @worstall Yes, it should be at full market value. And if this is a better use of the land (as I suspect it is), then that's a worthwhile transfer.

2023-04-09 18:02:36 @KhansTips @paulg Can you model that? My intuition is that exponential decay continues to have a long tail, not a sharp cliff at the max.

2023-04-08 22:58:37 @dileeplearning @jeremyphoward Yep. Is there a formal definition of "common sense"?

2023-04-08 22:49:57 @dileeplearning @jeremyphoward From an economists perspective, it may not make much of a difference if it is showing "real" common sense if it can solve many practical problems, perhaps better, faster and cheaper than a human (although also requiring others to check its work -- nobody's perfect.)

2023-02-12 15:56:58 @RokoMijic @pmddomingos Setting aside whether it has true "understanding" or is "mindless", it apparently can solve many such problems (i.e. a "T-o-M like ability" as Kosinky calls it). That ability seems interesting and useful.

2023-02-12 15:51:46 @RokoMijic @pmddomingos I don't want to get bogged down in whether what they are doing is truly "thought" but they are capable of solving problems they've never seen before in their training data, including now apparently, questions about other people's false beliefs.

2023-02-12 15:45:12 @RokoMijic @pmddomingos And LLMs seem to be doing that increasingly well. In fact, they are often better than 9 year olds at creating such sentences, and solving various types of questions about other people and their likely beliefs. Seems interesting to me.

2023-02-12 15:43:28 @RokoMijic @pmddomingos An interesting question is whether LLMs are increasingly able to solve more and more such problems and what that implies for how they create abstractions like "what would the other party be thinking?", just as they are improving at other logic problems (though still imperfect).

2023-02-12 15:40:47 @GaryMarcus @apage43 @ChristinaBehme4 @noUpside @ProfNoahGian @DG_Rand @sinanaral @chafkin Most serious SEO articles and books talk about the risks (and benefits) of link farming.

2023-02-12 15:37:48 @RokoMijic @pmddomingos Ok, I just did. It suggested $350-450 to cover the costs ($300) and make some profit. Do you think a 9 year old would say $0 (since currently most people won't believe they'e needed)? Do you think if this LLM gets that question wrong they can't solve any theory of mind task?

2023-02-05 00:40:27 @zubinwadia @joshgans @netflix Yes, this is another (very sensible) mechanism by which renting or sharing can increase profits.

2023-02-04 23:24:52 @joshgans @netflix Demand becomes more concentrated if the groups are roughly the same size. Demand becomes more dispersed when group size varies a lot. When demand is more concentrated, it's easier to extract profit.

2023-02-04 23:23:22 @joshgans @netflix You may be thinking of a different model. The results in Bakos, Brynjolfsson and Lichtman don't depend on experience goods. The idea is that sharing in groups reshapes the demand curve.

2023-02-04 21:32:28 @netflix The basic idea is that when group of people share an information good (like Netflix) it can serve as a sort of de facto differential pricing, a bit like bundling or site licensing. That can increase profits. Here's the more general theory: https://t.co/UpNUCEWF2O #econtwitter

2022-11-05 19:10:02 @elonmusk @BillyM2k If anything, accounts that are *not* willing to be verified (bots, troll farms, spammers, scammers, outrage agents) should pay a fee.The first rule of taxation, you get less of what you tax. What does @Twitter want more of and what does Twitter want more of?

2022-11-05 19:06:24 @elonmusk @BillyM2k Twitter is better when people are accountable for their tweets.Ergo, please verify as many people as possible.A subscription model for enhanced services (no ads, better tools, etc) is a great idea.But the last thing Twitter should tax is people proving they are authentic.

2022-10-31 17:52:40 @jjhikes Great point.I wonder if Twitter does this already.

2022-10-31 17:52:08 @MartyManley @CaseyNewton There will always be people on the margin. Which types does twitter want to keep and which ones does it want to drive away?

2022-10-31 16:49:26 @RobinBrooksIIF Have they refused to verify you?For me it was pretty straightforward.IMO, they should verify *everyone* who provides the documents needed to verify their identity.Verification should equal having one's identify verified. As simple as that.

2022-10-31 16:45:26 @RobinBrooksIIF I initially thought verification was based on verifying one's identity. That's makes sense.Having it based on number of followers does not make sense to me.Having it based on willingness to pay may be even worse.

2022-10-31 16:25:00 There are too many bots, trolls and spammers on Twitter.Would the quality of content on Twitter improve more if users who were *verified* had to pay a small fee or if users who were *unverified* paid a small fee?

2022-10-31 15:49:03 @adrianchiew @joshgans It's all speculation, but the proposal I heard was a monthly fee for all verified users.

2022-10-31 15:48:22 @joshgans I don't think the problem with bots is that they are verified. I don't see any such cases (though its possible they exist).The bigger current problem is that there are too *few* verified users so people don't want to block all the unverified users lest they miss important info

2022-10-31 15:42:50 If you want more accountability, make it more expensive to be unaccountable than accountable.Charging verified users more than unverified bots, troll farms, misinformation mills and users that send huge numbers of tweets mainly for profit goes in the wrong direction. https://t.co/b3FyZIsdNF

2022-10-31 15:39:44 @joshgans It would likely welfare-improving if bots (and perhaps posting very large number of tweets) were taxed.But how many bots are verified users Approximately zero?Ergo, taxing verified users but not unverified users goes in exactly the wrong direction.

2022-10-25 21:35:00 @pmddomingos No. Those are numbers.And CA is growing faster that most of the country, including TX and FL.But there's an echo chamber that uses anecdotes to try to tell a different story.

2022-10-19 21:35:19 @pmddomingos No it doesn’t.With platform as it’s currently configured humans spread false news further and faster than truth.Other platforms, such as Wikipedia or Nature, with different parameters spread false news much less.The design the platform has a big effect on how humans use it.

2022-09-06 21:31:23 @Noahpinion @sparr0 My part of the misunderstanding was that I used the words 'hedge' and "neutral" too loosely. There's still a component of the price unaccounted for by the rent services.

2022-09-06 21:26:37 @Noahpinion @sparr0 But rents and housing prices are not perfectly correlated.I've focused on correlated part that is an (imperfect) hedge. You've focused on uncorrelated part that isn't.https://t.co/YmUQ6KEWeu2/2

2022-09-06 21:24:41 @Noahpinion @sparr0 Thank you. I did miss that though I checked periodically.So perhaps the issue is resolved: if rents were perfectly correlated with housing prices, then owning a house would be a (perfect) hedge. 1/2

2022-09-01 00:35:32 @fancy_1982 @Noahpinion That is plausible and would be a case of a net long position.

2022-09-01 00:34:03 @j_doremus @Noahpinion I'm not saying it isn't valuable. The point is a bit subtler than that. Are you net long or short the housing market (i.e. exposed to price changes) if you own a) zero, b) one, or c) two houses?Answer: a) short, b) neutral, c) long

2022-09-01 00:29:39 @Noahpinion @MJRoetzel As I said, the original post was a bit garbled.The way a finance person would think about this is: you are net long if you benefit from increases in the asset prices and neutral if you are fully hedged against prices changes.If you own your own house, you're neutral not long.

2022-09-01 00:26:34 @DanielBairdDev @Noahpinion Now we're talking!Especially twitter friends!

2022-09-01 00:26:05 @Noahpinion It's wealth that is balanced against your liability of needing three meals a day.If you are required to make payments on X for the next 30 years, is that a liability?

2022-09-01 00:24:12 @FreeOccam @Noahpinion It depends on what other assets you have. But if the cabinet is free, then yes its nice to wipe out a short position (you otherwise need to pay lifetime food expenses) and not have to pay anything.

2022-09-01 00:21:29 @spencerreiss @Noahpinion Exactly

2022-09-01 00:19:53 @Noahpinion If you had a magic cabinet that gave you *exactly* the amount of food you planned to eat, then you would be neutral food.If the cabinet gave you less than than, you would be exposed to future changes in food prices (i.e. short the food market).

2022-09-01 00:17:59 @Noahpinion @MattWans1 The renter is short housing. Maybe he's long something else (stocks? bonds?)The home owner is neutral w.r.t. housing.What happens to each if price of housing doubles or halves?

2022-09-01 00:12:17 @MattWans1 @Noahpinion That’s exactly right

2022-09-01 00:10:14 @GarrettPetersen @Noahpinion Exactly!

2022-09-01 00:08:58 @Noahpinion Sounds like a garbled point but it is true that we all have a housing liability — we need to live somewhere.So if you own the exact amount of housing that you expect to use then your net asset position is neutral.if you don’t own a home, then you are short the housing market

2022-08-23 15:37:41 @David_desJ Better pay needs to be coupled with the end of tenure, higher standards, firing low performers and a willingness to hire the best of the many highly motivated, smart, capable people who would apply if the compensation were better.

2022-08-23 15:36:09 @JJD_Aqua Exactly. We should get rid of the bottom 8% of teachers and replace them."Replacing the bottom 5-8% of teachers with average teachers could move the U.S. near the top of international math and science rankings with a present value of $100 trillion."https://t.co/TBeKsIQBx4

2022-08-23 15:26:18 It's incredibly short-sighted to underpay teachers. Better teachers create over $400,000 in present value of student future earnings each year they teach.https://t.co/TBeKsIQBx4 https://t.co/iavfYrz7ST

2022-08-17 13:44:31 @CineraVerinia @StefanFSchubert @bryan_caplan Take it up with the dictionaries, then.And while you’re at it you can ask them to re-define the word “comprise“, “proscribe”, “libertarian”, “their”, “exponential” “Literally“, “impeach” and other words that people often misuse.

2022-08-17 12:52:45 @bryan_caplan I’ve always used the word feminism to mean equal rights, and so have most of the people who I interact with.Of course, lots of people disagree with that goal – eg the equal rights amendment failedIt confuses matters when you redefine a word with a clear dictionary definition

2022-07-01 19:16:55 @iamtrask @norvid_studies There are lots of benefits to creating human-like intelligence, including more leisure and a better understanding of the human mind.But, on balance, there's been too much emphasis on that goal. It limits the upside and it tends to drive down wages and concentrate wealth.

2022-07-01 19:01:30 @iamtrask Paradoxically, human-like intelligence is both not ambitious enough -- so many types of intelligence go far beyond HLAI. And also, in many ways very difficult -- buttoning a shirt, playing Stratego or plucking blueberries is something humans can do more easily (i.e. Moravec)

2022-06-27 15:17:56 @wwwojtekk Yep. Some would argue that the dice were rolled when the court size was effectively changed to 8 for a year when Obama was president and then changed back to 9 when Trump became president.Or the 6 previous times the size of the court was more formally changed.

2022-06-27 09:09:49 @wwwojtekk It doesn’t seem like it is an equilibrium for it to keep happening forever after. Presumably a new rule or norm would be reached at some point, but quite possibly at a different equilibrium than without court packing.

2022-05-22 00:19:00 @jasonfurman @MarcGoldwein A lot of public investments only increase capacity over a period of years, while others like expediting work at ports,immigration or other bottlenecks and regulatory backlogs might have a more immediate effect

2022-10-20 00:48:26 @pmddomingos This is a longer conversation but I encourage you to think deeply about whether there are parameters other than neutrality that can affect the probability of a true answer being spread versus misinformation being spread. can you think of this applying in other domains?

2022-10-19 21:38:02 @pmddomingos One of the most important things we humans can do is create and nurture technologies, institutions, platforms, norms, rules, networks etc. that foster the spread of truth and dampen the spread of lies. Successful societies have many of these. It’s an ongoing project

2022-10-19 21:35:19 @pmddomingos No it doesn’t.With platform as it’s currently configured humans spread false news further and faster than truth.Other platforms, such as Wikipedia or Nature, with different parameters spread false news much less.The design the platform has a big effect on how humans use it.

2022-10-25 21:58:06 @chris_jwala @pmddomingos On the question of economic growth, I'll go by the one with the data over the anecdotes as being closer to the truth.That said, the truth is complex in this case, as in most cases. CA is amazing but it has a lot of serious problems and could be (even) better.

2022-10-25 21:35:00 @pmddomingos No. Those are numbers.And CA is growing faster that most of the country, including TX and FL.But there's an echo chamber that uses anecdotes to try to tell a different story.

2022-10-25 21:10:06 @devitt_james Probably some of both.California is also outpacing most of the other states in the United States.
