Lauren Sanchez, in preparation for her Venice wedding, is carrying an Eiffel Tower purse that likely costs more than your monthly salary.
Jeff Bezos’s yacht Koru’s purchase price could supply insulin for 856,666 diabetics or feed roughly 1,285,000 people for an entire year.
The Bezos/Sanchez $10 million wedding is just the tip of the selfish iceberg that is the Amazon empire, -- known for grinding warehouse workers into the ground with surveillance practices, extreme time manag…

Why Venetians want Jeff Bezos to choke on his wedding cake
Taya Graham breaks down what Bezos’s luxurious fete reveals about the massive wealth imbalance in the United States.

Introducing HALC: A general pipeline for finding optimal prompting strategies for automated coding with LLMs in the computational social sciences
LLMs are seeing widespread use for task automation, including automated coding in the social sciences. However, even though researchers have proposed different prompting strategies, their effectiveness varies across LLMs and tasks. Often trial and error practices are still widespread. We propose HALC$-$a general pipeline that allows for the systematic and reliable construction of optimal prompts for any given coding task and model, permitting the integration of any prompting strategy deemed rel…
