🧵 Adapting your LLM for new tasks is dangerous! A bad training set degrades models by encouraging hallucinations and other misbehavior. Our paper remedies this for RAG training by replacing gold responses with self-generated demonstrations. Check it out here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.10

Would eliminating elections for public office get more women to have political ambitions? Our research (with @mrm32.bsky.social & @gholliba.bsky.social) in @bjpols.bsky.social suggests not. Elections are duplicative of effects of other public service components on women's political ambition.

Is impoundment that much different from the line-item veto?

Compelling case by @hjghassell.bsky.social & @johnholbein1.bsky.social showing how two-way fixed effect studies of mass shootings violate parallel trends assumption. This visualization is a smoking gun. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Our potential opponents for the round of 16 are: Sporting / Club Brugge / Atalanta / B Dortmund If Tyrone Mings hadn’t picked up the ball against Brugge they would be: Celtic / Man City / Real Madrid / Bayern Munich Thanks Ty 😘 #AVFC

Two inches of snow and the city and schools shut down for a week.

Just got my Oxford University Press reviewers certificate! Open to suggestions about where to display it.

What's worse: bad Mexican food or bad Chinese food?

Well, I guess I should go get that run in before it starts snowing (in Tallahassee)...

Monaco. The very opposite of doing it on a cold, wet Tuesday in Stoke. ##AwayDays #AVFC

Thanks to FSU Political science for a great visit. I wasn’t surprised by how great the community and the feedback was, but I was pleasantly surprised how pretty the campus is
