If you’re going to use AI for lit review, try this. At minimum, Ask Claude code to pull PDFs locally based on the lit review prompt (“I want you to search for the seminal studies on XYZ”). It’ll use web crawl to do that, unless it’s gated then it won’t. 1/n

Ceasefire violations reported as shelling reported over LOC on both Pakistan and Indian media. While both countries claim violation from the otherside what is an important fact is that Pakistan welcomed and celebrated the ceasefire as a victory while the Indian media and commentators doubled down on jingoism, criticized the US for playing an intermediary and needed to show a decisive win.
Pakistan has no reason to re-engage or escalate and there was no political discord over the ceasefire. Pakistan didn't thump its chest, didn't try to bully India didn't celebrate the death of innocents in Pahalgam. It has taken immense pride in its ability to make India back down.
Indian sentiment on the other hand represented through its artists, celebrities and commentators was celebrating every Pakistani killed even if it was a 7 year old child. Deaths of children were dismissed by them by alleging that the dead were family members of alleged terrorists.
India has been hiding loss to its military assets especially the now globally confirmed loss of a Rafale Jet. All its drones were shot down, none of its Jets entered Pakistani airspace nor any border post was lost by Pakistan. Despite this India through a coordinated strategy used every single major mainstream news outlet to create fiction for its over one billion population of India having destroyed all major cities of Pakistan and having conquered massive territory.
Small men in big offices are slaves of their ego and lack the capacity to think rationally. Modi is one such small man whose real aspirations as a blood thirsty racist Nazi have been disguised by the media to make him look like an assertive visionary and a bold statesman.

Today's cool young researcher #EconTwitter is @akib_kn
@EconomicsUU, who works on human capital + experiments. . .though I normally focus on post-PhD researchers, Akib is already so productive it's hard to believe he's a PhD candidate!
