#friday-thoughts
Starting at the end of July last year, I began watching every Tom Cruise film in order. Last Friday, I saw Digger in IMAX, capping off a 48-film marathon which has really taken me to the highs and lows of one of the greatest movie stars still going. Below are my thoughts, from the ugly to the great:

Aha! I was listening to Science Friday ever so long ago and Ira asked a physicist what the most interesting thing you could do with pi. The response “measure the circumference of the universe.” This occupies my 3am thoughts for… decades. So?

heavy thoughts but the anniversary of my grandma's passing is on friday and i'm just like. i've always thought of myself as her failure granddaughter, literal embodiment of wasted potential and everything she went through to come here so her family could have opportunities she never got.

ICYMI, on Friday I shared some thoughts on how to scale AI-aware teaching from individual courses to whole campuses, leveraging what I've figured out about faculty development after 20 years on the job.

Consider this my addendum to that MIT AI report.

committing to try and get back into the harp groove during my week off even though i have an annoyingly placed broken string

A marquee matchup awaits in Week 6, while Mayo football may have found something. Caledonia is good at football, and Triton survived a scare.

Central banks are setting interest rates using surveys that barely anyone answers. The US job openings survey response rate has fallen from over 65% to just over 30%, and the UK's is worse. https://www.worldeconomics.com/Thoughts/Key-Interest-Rate-Decisions-Rely-Partly-on-Garbage-Data.aspx
Key Interest Rate Decisions Rely Partly on Garbage Data - Insights & Data from World Economics
Central banks the world over rely on deeply flawed data to make crucial decisions on interest rates. Few politicians, economists or bankers realise just how unreliable economic data has become in recent years. - - In the US the percentage of companies responding to two vital job surveys: the Bureau of Labour Statistics Non-Farm Payrolls (NFS) and Job Openings (JOLTS) has fallen dramatically since Covid. The release of the US Jobs data on the first Friday of each month still generates feverish anticipation in the financial markets, but how many realise that the response rate to the JOLTS survey has fallen from 65%+ to a little over 30% in just a few years. Anything close to a 30% response rate is unlikely to produce data good enough as the basis for vital decisions on monetary policy. - - The UK holds lead position for self-harm in respect of economic data quality, having decided to relocate the Office of National Statistics from central London to an obscure industrial park a 3 hour drive away. Some 90% of the previously London based ONS staff left their jobs, causing serious problems that persist to this day. - - The UK equivalent to the US Jobs surveys is the ONSs Labour Force Survey. It was designed to operate with a 55% response rate, but the length of the survey has been unwisely expanded, inevitably reducing response rates far below the desired level. In addition, as in many other countries, Covid led switches from in person to phone surveys brought survey response rates down further to (in the UK case) wholly unacceptable levels around 15% in 2023.

I cleared enough space in the kitchen for the grocery order, only to realise that it’s not due until next Friday.
Which means that I have run out of gin.
Thoughts abd prayers, please!

I agree. My thoughts on this season are going to hinge on Friday night's outcome.

My thoughts are with the families of those injured and killed last night during First Friday. Two teenagers were injured, and a third was killed. At this time, the police are still investigating what happened. It is clear that violence of any kind has no place in our community or in this state.
