Did religion facilitate modern growth? Or was it a stumbling block? Using data for 912 cities and 500,000 individuals born throughout Europe during the past 700 years, we find evidence for the latter. New CEPR wp w/ Lars Harhoff Andersen: tinyurl.com/yytkbavd More details below

Check out the COVID States analysis of this odd moment in the pandemic, where there (seems to be) a strong _positive_ relationship between vaccination rates and cases (but, not deaths) at the state level. covidstates.org/blog/an-odd-pa…

Today I got a call by someone asking me to participate on a survey. I could feel the scam and when I asked how they got my number, they replied "that's none of your business, motherfucker". No surprise that telephone response rates are still falling. pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019…

Adversarial examples, originally observed ~2014, were fascinating cases showing deep nets can be super sensitive to small input perturbations. Since then a lot has happened! Did we solve this failure mode of AI models or have we hit a wall? A thread 🧵

Writing this book and finally seeing it appear on my bookshelf has been a very joyful journey. Truly appreciate Ben Dickson's kind words for highlighting our book on "Adversarial Robustness for Machine Learning", co-authored with Cho-Jui Hsieh UCLA CS Department. Also kudos to IBM Research

I was thrilled to be involved in this study, just out in nature. Led by the awesome Ronald E Robertson, it sheds new light on why people engage with unreliable and partisan news when they use Google Search. Check out the thread below.
