u assume government stimulus can solve this as has been shown in Japan government intervention often can't fix structural anemic economic growth

Matt Yglesias wants you to die in a plane crash, apparently. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/opiniโ€ฆ
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yglesias argues US 1500-hr pilot rule (vs Europe ~200) is job protection raising fares, not safety. Europe has comparable safety per IATA. He says he wants no crashes, just to end a pretextual rule. Colgan pilots exceeded 1500 hrs. iata.org/en/pressroom/2โ€ฆ x.com/mattyglesias/sโ€ฆ

It's more and more looking like we're heading towards a world with many small specialized models coordinated by the large ones if needed.
Must-read paper integrating decision models like Jev into harnesses. They distilled an open 4B decision model, mostly from Jev's answers on the agent's own states, that beats Jev inside that agent and is much cheaper to run. Their harness, JevAgentHarness, sends each routine choice to the decision model and uses its answer only when the confidence clears a threshold fitted on the agent's own trajectories. Below the threshold, the LLM decides as usual. With the fitted threshold, tool and argument cascades cut cost by 14.2% without changing the outcome of any of 500 tasks. A fixed threshold of 0.5 lost 21.5 points. They also train AgentDecision-4B on states the agent reaches after its own mistakes, with Jev's answers as labels. On tasks unlike its training data, the agent solved 91.5% with it and 82.0% with Jev. On familiar tasks, 4B models trained this way made agents 81.1 to 89.0% cheaper and up to 2.5 times faster while staying within 3 points of success. Paper: academy.dair.ai/papers/jevagโ€ฆ

I have very good news for Georgia and Alabama fans After spending the last couple of hours in film review and in prayer, it is clear the only reason these teams lost today is because of the physical game they played last week Thus, my official records will reflect a win for both teams today
