It appears that the marginal energy used by a standard prompt from a modern LLM is relatively established at this point, roughly 0.0003 kWh (8-10 seconds of streaming Netflix) Water is more complicated (.25mL to 5mL+), depending on definitions. Training resources are much less clear at this point.

Great news but it also very telling that this moves to Luxembourg.
Plants + Barbican what could be more interesting.
I thought the same thing but I am sure there is a smart solution (e.g., other plants?) for this.
Braucht keine Worte.
I guess you refer to policy-related topics right? Like a new regulation? In this case, this also happens in the accounting community where new standards are publicly criticized.
False! Black bear.
That is a joke I guess like spaghetti ice right?
Fun fact: Auditors use this to see if variances are due to number switchups.
Pakistani Brit: I’m London Mayor Sadiq Khan, nice to meet you
Amüsant.
Wait, what?
Here we go, opportunism beats conscience.
Revelio Labs offers another solid case study on how accountability infrastructure can be (and will need to be) rebuilt in the private sector and/or with crowdsourcing. www.linkedin.com/posts/ben-zw...
Selbstverständlich aber ich glaube ehrlich gesagt es liegt viel mehr am "Verstehen wollen" als am "Verstehen können". Aber um konstruktiver zu sein: wenn ich zukünftig etwas zu ML/AI untterichten sollte wird es ein "Let's code and deploy your own GPT" sein.
Wenn selbst gestandene Wissenschaftler nicht verstehen was die Basis von LLMs ist, habe ich nicht viel Vertrauen das der Rest der Bevölkerung ein besseres Verständnis entwickelt.

Main findings: • Higher bank-level climate risk transparency • Less (long-term) financing and lower investments of their high-risk borrowers • Improved bank-level environmental performance But: Watch for substitution to less committed/regulated banks.
🌍 Can climate stress tests drive real change in the financial system? TRR 266 WP No. 205 by Jannis Bischof, Vincent Giese, @gerritvzedlitz.bsky.social (Uni Mannheim) & Luzi Hail (The Wharton School) shows they can – primarily if banks are already climate-committed or under ESG pressure.
I had to think about this alot after watching Oppenheimer.
This is insane and it should be a wake-up call that you should not cave in. There will always be more demands.
Summary: German science journalist uses Nature's new disclosures policy regarding referee reports to discredit climate change study without noting that the comments of referees were adressend. static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10...
Hier der Link zum ganzen Referee Report und der Antwort: static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10...
am Ende veröffentlich wurde. Jeder der in der Wissenschaft aktiv ist weiß das Referee Reports so geschrieben werden und das es darum geht diese Kritikpunkte auszuräumen. Es ist wirklich erschreckend das Axel Bojanowski dies entweder nicht weiss oder schlimmer noch es gezielt unterschlägt n/n
Es war vorhersehbar das die üblichen Personen die Offenlegung von Refereereports von Nature nutzen um gezielt Falschinformationen zu streuen. Axel Bojanowski unterschlägt in seinem Tweet das die Autoren auf die Kritik eingehen und die Bedenken (warscheinlich) entkräften, da die Studie ja /n
100% agree. I also think they look so impressive because they are surrounded by other buildings. I certainly do not want more of them but I still like them very much.
Only if "we" get out of our daily rot.
There is a shortcut? Wow.
None of us does.
So when are we starting to monitor US GDP with nightlights?
Can finally write about the US would have a better economy if it had a Western institution.

Please note:
Thank you for this explanation. I will add it under my initial post!
I can't see the original post but if I understood you correctly the issue here is not imputation vs data but imputation vs a different type of imputation (broadly speaking)?
This is really disturbing:
Let's wait for the patent tax rebate checks then.
This can not be a serious proposal.
Parenting.
Finally somebody did this study. "We find a large positive effect of subtitling on English-language skills of over one standard deviation."
Enjoy!
I would have preferred a bit more hedging from people taking science seriously but I get your point.
If I had to bet I would say chances of a decrease in interest rates just dropped.
I agree but did you think that even academics were talking about the topic in a factual way? I stopped engaging because the way economists talked about it was simply toxic and quite frankly academically lazy.
I never understood why the topic was discussed in such a binary way.
There is quite a lot of evidence on information costs and limited information processing capabilities of individuals so it is good to see this somehow modeled. However, the debate was cursed when a few "serious" people used caricatures as arguments.
Satire seems to be the last way to comment on this. Serious thought and words can not do justice to this absurd development.

Really? I think it is quite the opposite (at least for research). For teaching I would agree.
Danke :)
Muss man den L.L.M in Deutschland mit seiner Herkunft tragen oder ist das einfach Status? Sprich Max Mustermann, L.L.M. (UCLA)?
This sounds super interesting. I guess this is another entry on my books-to-buy list.
Congrats!
I feel my lectures are much better if I don't wear a suit.
Very excited that our paper (joint with Jarkko Harju and @schoefer.bsky.social) on "Voice at Work" is published in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics. We study what happened when workers in Finnish firms got a right to worker voice on the corporate board. 👇
I think Brazil is Brutalism-Heaven anyway.
"(...) about an entity’s past emissions performance and any recent changes therein."
If you are interested in understanding how much CO2 firms generate and how this should be reported, check out this paper. "The resulting CO2-statements yield a measure of a company’s current corporate carbon footprint, while stock variables on the CO2-balance sheet convey summary information (...)"
Congrats! Amazing achievement.
Classic. My son always tells me I am too loud when he is the one that throws a tantrum.
It is a really amazing resource.
Not the 2008 crisis? Odd.
Heute läuft die Frist ab. Und Deutschland steht kurz davor, über 5 Milliarden Euro für sozialen Klimaschutz einfach verfallen zu lassen. Warum? Weil die Bundesregierung keinen fertigen Plan hat. 🧵
Habt ihr euch gefragt, warum so viele indische Kurierfahrer unterwegs sind? Viele werden von teuren Privatunis hergelockt, verschulden sich, landen in einem Teufelskreislauf aus miesen Jobs und überfüllten, möblierten Apartments. Meine ganze Recherche gibt's bei der @taz.de taz.de/Das-Geschaef...
Macht doch die Ole Werner Geschichte noch klarer. Hatte einen 50 mio - 100 mio Stürmer und diesen nicht entwickelt.
If you read my work, I have always loved using em-dashes. Now I actually go through & replace them with semicolons or parentheses (even when dashes would be better) because people assume they are AI Reminds me of the great Delve Collapse - use of the word dropped after it became associated with AI.
Gestern sagt Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche, wir sollen die Klimaziele flexibler gestalten. Heute im Ausschuss sagt sie: „Ich stehe zum Ziel der Klimaneutralität 2045.“ Aber das ist noch nicht alles. Reiche widerspricht sich am laufenden Band: Warum? Ein🧵(4/4) Foto: SZ
Congrats man! Best thing in the world.
Thank you!
Posting this without attaching the slides should be a crime.
Like I am sitting in the tram and a couple of kids leave at a stop and yell it. I thought what the f' is wrong with Munich's kids. I would have less confused if it would have been Saturday night.
Same! Imagine my face 7:30 in the morning.
Don't get me started when I did an internship in Munich and a few kids yelled "pfiat di" in the tram to me.
Now you get why I was so f'ing confused + "ciao" gets you quite far in Milan.
For a second I was wondering if "buongiorno!" is in fact Spanish and not Italian.
I am also confused.
Are you allowed to make these jokes if you have tenure? ;)
Interessanter Artikel über die ersten Zentralbankerinnen von Aykiz Dogan und Frederic Lebaron in der aktuellen Ausgabe Le Monde Diplomatique.
I thought Mannheim was the only school that did this. Is this PhD students or undergrads?
"Simpson's gender-equality paradox" surely deserve some award for best title 👑 The gender-equality paradox seems really central to some narrative people have constructed (and successfully sold). I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if it turned out 100% confounding.> www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Wo geht es hin wenn ich fragen darf.
Research Policy.
Man the ""linear in parameters", not "linear in variables"" line is just so on point. This rearranges some thoughts in my brain quite well.
Nicht wenn wir beim aktuellen Kader als Underdog ins Rennen gehen.

Never too late to share this!
Okay, a little late in sharing. But in academic time, this is practically breaking news 😀 Our @nber.org Working Paper No. w33158 “Economic Surveillance using Corporate Text” was (somewhat recently) featured by Harvard Law School Forum on Corporate Governance corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2025/02/11/e...
