How can we measure the quality of a democratic voting method for electing a legislature?
Until now, there have been no well-defined metrics that work for diverse voting methods and party systems.
I've been pondering this, literally for years. I can finally answer. Read on:

Update: now I get more ads than ever. Which I choose to believe means that a billionaire @elonmusk spent attention to have somebody specifically mess with me 😂. Though honestly it probably just means that this platform is falling apart and the services just sometimes break.

Dude really ran this platform into the ground. It explains why he's testing out ads from F-tier content farms.

Hahaha, @elonmusk, you loser.
Today I've scrolled through many hundred posts. Exactly 1 ad, total. Apparently I've blocked them all.
Until today, that was impossible. There were always more to block. But seems now everyone but the bottom-feeders I've already blocked is gone.

(To be clear, I'm not getting those userless content-farm ads either; apparently that rollout hasn't hit me yet.)

By the way, the "1 ad, total" was in Russian, a language I don't speak. Sad @elonmusk's only friends left, I guess. Poor little rich boy😿😿😿.

HAPPY (K) MEAN GIRLS DAY🥳🥳
ALT Two clusters of points. In one cluster one of the points has a blonde ponytail. In the other cluster, there are three points with hairstyles, one red hair, one short, blonde hair, and one cut curly brown hair. The point with curly brown hair is saying you can’t sit with us. The scene is inspired by the mean, girls movie where Gretchen wieners says you can’t sit with us to Regina George.

Bajo el liderazgo de Consuelo Porras, Rafael Curruchiche y Fredy Orellana, se está consumando un golpe a las elecciones y a la voluntad del pueblo.
A todos y cada una, en defensa del voto libre y soberano, de la democracia y la constitución, les pedimos #NoMásSilencio.

Some really neat work on neurosymbolic Bayesian inference from @GothoskarNishad!

3D understanding is key in vision & robotics. Moving beyond common discriminative models, we introduce 3DNEL, a generative probabilistic inverse graphics take on 6D pose estimation. Result? SOTA & added probabilistic benefits. Explore at probcomp.github.io/nel & #ICCV2023 🧵

I'm really excited that we're releasing v2.0 of the optimization library that we use in our live election model!

Lo sucedido en Guatemala con la abogada ex mandataria de CICIG Claudia González, es venganza y evidencia como el sistema de justicia es brazo operativo del #PactoDeCorruptos.
Guatemala debe recuperar el Estado de derecho. A pesar de todo, hay esperanza🌺

The new strangest results of my career (with Kevin Shu and Alex Wang).
Gradient descent can accelerate (in big-O!) by just periodically taking longer steps.
No momentum needed to beat O(1/T) in smooth convex opt!

Really cool application of the multi-dimensional dynamic Bayesian factor analysis model that @DevinCaughey, Tomoya Sasaki, and I have been working on to model democracy around the world. Very rough, beta version of the R package here: github.com/devincaughey/dbmm

Here’s my swan song for The Economist on the state of “democracy” globally. We apply a Bayesian factor analysis model from @cwarshaw & @DevinCaughey to data from V-Dem, @annemeng_, @anthlittle others and find 2 distinct components of decline v stability
