I saw a paper that used the term "nudging", and that inspired me to create this instance of the GTM meme.

Apple just rolled out Digital ID in Wallet, turning your iPhone into a digital identification hub starting with TSA checkpoints. This isn't just about convenience, it's part of a global push toward mandatory digital identity systems. EU, UK, Australia & Canada are all

We have a new paper on arXiv: https://t.co/Mc2fV6jGSY The idea is to take a well-known type of model (Ising dynamics) to explore the effect of heterogeneous network structures in multilayer networks on the dynamics on those networks.

For too long, the swamp controlled America’s future. That's finally changing, but they're fighting back. Be part of the team taking on the corrupt deep state.

My Mathematics Genealogy Project (MGP) page is up to date again, showing all 32 of my graduated PhD students (and 3 completed grandstudents). I don't have anybody slated to finish in 2026, so my direct descendants will be up to date for a while. https://t.co/p35XlMfsCI

There are many ways to describe Top Dog (which is a Berkeley institution), but "causal sausage joint" is a new one! Meanwhile, you can perhaps find some "casual inference" in their statistics department. :P
