After coediting AER: Insights for about eight months, I wanted to share some hopefully useful information about this awesome journal & short papers in general.

PyFixest 0.23.0 is on PyPi 🎉 Here are my personal highlights: - We have merged PRs from 7 (!) new contributors 🚀 - We support Wald Tests via a dedicated `wald_test()` method! 🌳 - We now provide IV diagnostics! - Last, the output of `pf.etable()` got a little prettier:

Some notes on mlx-whisper - it's now really easy to run transcriptions through an Apple Silicon (and GPU) optimized Whisper model using Python on macOS simonwillison.net/2024/Aug/13/ml…

These are both fantastic technologies and we need a lot more of both. But solar cells are a lot older than 70 years! The first was in 1883.

Fixed effect estimation just like using the fixest R package, but in Python!! I really enjoyed Alex Fischer presentation at this years EuroSciPy of his pyfixest package. If you need to run (high-dimensional) fixed effect regressions in Python, be sure to check it out (link below)
