Attentat revendiqué par un groupe terroriste inexistant ou inactif dans cette région selon Macron, Barrot et Elwan 🤷🏻‍♂️
🔴 Israël 🇮🇱 | Attentat en Judée, cinq blessés, dont deux dans un état critique. Les deux terroristes éliminés Partagez ce que les médias ne vous montrent pas assez. Ce matin, deux terroristes ont ouvert le feu près du carrefour Yehuda, dans la région d’Hébron Cinq blessés, dont deux dans un état critique. Les soldats de Tsahal les ont pourchassés et éliminés après un échange de tirs. Les recherches se poursuivent dans le secteur. En Judée-Samarie, les attaques et les tentatives de meurtre contre des Juifs sont une réalité récurrente. Leur couverture médiatique devrait l’être aussi. #Israël #Terrorisme #JudéeSamarie #Tsahal #Islamistes #Hamas

🇮🇱🔬 À 16 ans, il possède déjà deux doctorats. Et pour poursuivre ses recherches, il a choisi Israël ! Voici Laurent Simons, un jeune prodige belge au parcours scientifique exceptionnel. À seulement 6 ans, il terminait l’école primaire. À 8 ans, ses études secondaires. À 11 ans, il obtenait sa licence universitaire, puis son master à 12 ans. Aujourd’hui âgé de 16 ans, il est déjà titulaire de deux doctorats, en physique quantique et en sciences médicales. Son nom figure également parmi les auteurs d’une étude publiée en 2026 dans la prestigieuse revue scientifique Nature. 🎓 Sa prochaine étape ? Rejoindre les laboratoires de recherche de l’université Bar-Ilan, en Israël, pour poursuivre ses travaux scientifiques. Un choix motivé par l’excellence de la recherche israélienne dans les domaines qui le passionnent. 💙 Une belle illustration du rayonnement international des universités israéliennes, qui continuent d’attirer des talents scientifiques exceptionnels venus du monde entier. 📸 Laurent Simons aux côtés de David Saranga, ambassadeur d’israël en Belgique @DavidSaranga @IsraelinBelgium

Happy to announce the release of our first curated dataset from @GLL_Brown @Brown_Economics @Watson_School @RhodesCenter We logged every US tariff rate: threats, announcements, signed into law since January 2025. 749 of them, timed to the minute, with the exact quote and source. Only 30% are executive orders. The rest is the noise markets trade on. Free, updated weekly: globallinkages.org/datasets/…

My college classmate Matt and I just used AI to create a Erdos #374 solution w/ a Lean-verified proof. We used a reciprocal-prime equidistribution estimate, Harman’s almost-all short-interval theorem, Weil’s bound, and the analytic large sieve. Full proof: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…
Erdős Problem #374 is solved! Jonathan Hartley and Matthew Olson proved the Erdős–Graham conjecture that D₆, the set of numbers needing six factorials to form a square, has positive density. They formalized the complete solution in Lean, and we verified it. erdosproblems.ai/374

I am proud to note that my Google Scholar citation count has just hit the 180,000 mark: scholar.google.com/citations… Why proud? Because many gauge the real impact and potential of a field not by the dollars raised to fund it, but by the number of researchers who acknowledge being influenced by its ideas. Readers on this platform should likewise take pride in being part of a field that shows sustained growth with a positive second derivative. @eliasbareinboim @analisereal @soboleffspaces @GaryMarcus @tdietterich

Microfoundations for macro is a perfect summary of Bob Hall. The citation could also have discussed his seminal work in firm investment with Dale. Their work is the jumping-off point for my review, which I informally call the micro-to-macro manifesto: nber.org/papers/w33922

This list gains value with time 😉
My Nobel Econ feeling: Blanchard, Fischer, Romer, Woodford, Mankiw, Taylor, Kiyotaki, Helpman, Yellen or Acemoglu. Ok I am macro-biased ☺️

"Today, Oct. 10, is the birthday of my son, Daniel Pearl, who would have been 63 years old today. Lacking eloquent words to describe his life, his work, and his vision until his brutal murder in 2002, I am posting a poem I wrote in his memory, called 'The Lion's Den': ucla.in/4AT0ddW followed by David Broza's recording, written for that poem: youtube.com/watch?v=L0yUsBN3…, ending with Benjamin Lapidus "Kaddish Para Daniel"  open.spotify.com/track/2VOZK…" Join me in Yitgadal V'Yitkadash Shmei Rabah

This is how Spanish public TV remembers the third anniversary of one of the worst terrorist attacks in history: headline "3 years of Gaza Genocide."
