Wow... Is there disaggregation on components (labor, materials, permits, etc)?

this kind of disaggregation is imo not a product of AI as such so much as the relentless and stupefying drive toward optimization, profit, visibility, kpis, views, etc. that predates (and necessitates) ai
What you are seeing in math right now is a consequence of the jagged frontier, and a precursor of what is to come in other professions. Yes, mathematicians do math, but they also have other tasks they view as important (mentor students, maintain a community, safeguard the future) that AI can't do.

Yeah this kind of disaggregation is going to keep philosophers up at night for decades to come. I expect lots of great work ahead.

Starting the week strong with a newly accepted paper in Policy Insights from the Behavioral and Brain Sciences, co-authored with postdoc @lizsnoland.bsky.social and Sohad Murrar! We merged two largely independent research lines to call for data disaggregation of Asian Americans and MENA Americans

TERFs need to be reminded that “biological womanhood” was the basis of centuries of misogyny, including abuses and violences by the state and medicine, and that this was (where possible) undone through disaggregation of ‘biological sex’ (a lattice) from gender (human embodiment, role and expression)

It´s happening and @hggaddy.bsky.social is discussing, among other issues, how temporal disaggregation for time series analysis of mortality is a solution for a need for spatial disaggregation - which creates death toll underestimation!

This is why the work on data disaggregation is- and continues to be- essential. The move, during the 2020 decennial census, to collapse race with ethnicity was a step backward.
Colorblindness is a tool for resegregation. Coming for the data is the way to delegitimize the basis of the pursuit of equality.
Annual population estimates by age and sex for 1990-2000 are still available here, but annual estimates by age, sex, and race/ethnicity have been taken down. Truly unbelievable www.census.gov/data/tables/...

Does a strong state have to come before democracy? With David Andersen, we scrutinize eight versions of the "state-first" claim using V-Dem data, 1789–2015. Impartial bureaucracy helps democracies survive and deepen. State capacity has no robust effects. See: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

On further reflection, I accept that the last paragraph may present certain difficulties of disaggregation in the median French election.
“What lessons on pan-European politics can we draw from an election to an executive mayoralty?”
“No more than we can that of Anne Hidalgo?”
“But if we *had* to?”
“That it helps to be running on local issues against a loathed sex-pest who’s being savaged by the local lunatic in a beret?”

Woof. Nate. Not cool man.
He ends the chapter with a 6-page sidebar, what he learned betting $1.8 million on the NBA.
Notice the footnote below the graph?
He paused the gambling when ABC announced it was laying off most of 538’s workers.
He was gambling $10K per day while still running 538!
