RIP Bob Lucas. Surely the most influential macroeconomist of the last 50 years. A perfect example of destructive creation: He made our intellectual lives more difficult, but much more exciting. Bob: Profound thanks.

New Zealand's South Island photographed from @Space_Station I took every chance to capture New Zealand due to its small size and diverse ecosystems, able to see almost an entire country and deserts, mountains, glaciers, rainforests and beaches in a single photo.

This RNZ piece misses the point : AI can pass most exams. It's not only about essays. See twitter.com/emollick/statu… Software update will catch misuse of AI but likely only for a short time - senior lecturer @RNZeducation rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

🤯🤯Well this is something else. GPT-4 passes basically every exam. And doesn't just pass... The Bar Exam: 90% LSAT: 88% GRE Quantitative: 80%, Verbal: 99% Every AP, the SAT...

Teams tested @NASA_Orion’s radiator system today, switching between modes for the two coolant loops on @ESA’s European Service Module. One mode we’ll use for launch on #Artemis II, while the other will be used during regular ops on Artemis II to allow for more refined control.

The Government's decision to cut fuel taxes at a cost of $350m bypassed the usual scrutiny - no RIS or RIA produced. And MOF's office won't say how long officials had to design/analyse the policy stuff.co.nz/national/polit…

Senior EU officials tell me the EU is considering offering qualified Russian 🇷🇺 citizens EU 🇪🇺 passports - to accelerate Russian economic brain drain This is just one of many innovative measures being considered to complement economic sanctions now in place 🇪🇺🇺🇦
