[Submitted on 9 Dec 2024 (v1), last revised 5 Dec 2025 (this version, v4)] View a PDF of the paper titled Large Language Models: An Applied Econometric Framework, by Jens Ludwig and Sendhil Mullainathan and Ashesh Rambachan View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Large language models (LLMs) enable researchers to analyze text at unprecedented scale and minimal cost. Researchers can now revisit old questions and tackle novel ones with rich data. We provide an econometric framework for realizing this potential in two empirical uses. For prediction problems — forecasting outcomes from text — valid conclusions require “no training leakage” between the LLM’s…

Cooling power is the lifeblood of your PC. No matter how good any of your other components are, if things get too hot in there, your PC will struggle a lot. If you’re struggling with cooling your CPU, you don’t have to upgrade to a better cooler: you should try these less costly options first. Remove excess voltage by undervolting your CPU Undervolting is a process in which you reduce how much voltage is flowing through your PC components. This might sound bad, but many PC components, including your CPU, often run at a baseline that is actually higher than…

As a child of the Midwest—more specifically, Iowa, born and raised—I come by my love of casseroles honestly. Both my grandma and my mom are well-versed and extremely proficient in these 9- x 13-inch comfort food masterpieces, and have schooled me in how to carry on the tradition with their foolproof recipes for everything from chicken pot pie to green bean casserole to frozen yum yum.  Admittedly, they’re not gourmet cuisine and probably won’t earn Michelin stars any time soon. But whether the star ingredient is broccoli or tuna; chicken or hamburger, the rich results of one-dish dinners are undeniably…

2026, the AI education market has become an oversaturated business of its own. Bootcamps are everywhere. Online platforms promise miracles in “12 weeks.” Course bundles multiply, all claiming to be the one true solution. If you have access to a free or affordable university program—especially where higher education is public—studying data science at a university is still an excellent, structured option. If you need strong accountability and close guidance, specialized bootcamps can also be a good choice. But for many of us, the reality is far more complicated. Bootcamps are often expensive. University isn’t accessible to everyone. And trying to…

Over a year ago, I was prompted to look for another budgeting app. Intuit, parent company of Mint, the budgeting app I had been using for a long time, shut down the service in March 2024. The company encouraged Mint users to migrate to its other financial app, Credit Karma, but I found it to be a poor Mint replacement after trying it out. That sent me searching elsewhere to find an app to track all of my financial accounts, monitor my credit score, track spending and set goals like building a rainy-day fund and paying down my mortgage faster.If…

When Perplexity, one of my favorite AI tools, launched its own AI-powered browser, Comet, I immediately had a feeling it’d be the Chrome replacement I’d been looking for. I tried it when it was still in its waitlist phase, and it didn’t take me long to realize its potential. Fast-forward to today, after trying out multiple AI browsers like Opera’s Neon and ChatGPT’s Atlas, I still keep coming back to Comet. While there are a bunch of reasons I keep returning to Comet over everything else I’ve tested, the real standout is the workflows I’ve built. Here are four of…

Butter isn’t just a supporting character in the kitchen—it’s the diva who shows up in a gold wrapper and steals the show the minute it hits warm bread. In baking, it dictates texture, flavor, and structure in everything from croissants to brioche. However, butter is not a one-gig ingredient. Butter-poached lobster? Check. Velvety beurre blanc sauce? Absolutely. A thick smear on toast? That’s where butter proves it can deliver the magic. Sometimes you want the butter’s flavor to shine brightly; other times, you need it to quietly bring fat and richness. To find out which butters excel as the everyday…

Eating your veggies has never been easier with countertop kitchen devices like Instant Pots. Even experts agree. Chef Vahista Ussery, a registered dietitian nutritionist and founder of the culinary education company To Taste, tells CNET that, compared to traditional stovetop steaming, Instant Pots offer a more set-it-and-forget-it approach. This makes them ideal for novice cooks or those who are multitasking in the kitchen. “Set it and forget it” also sounds wonderful for cooking after a long, busy day.But how exactly should you be steaming your vegetables in an Instant Pot, especially to ensure you’re not losing an abundance of nutrients in…
