Wednesday assorted links

1. Who benefits most from name visibility bias during the journal editorial process?

2. Prendergast watercolor for 500-700k, truly a splendid piece, St. Marks in Venice.  The collection as a whole, while not my taste (“too American” in a very particular direction), shows exquisite taste.  You can learn a lot by studying their choices.  From the Wolf family.  Here is more from their collection.

3. AI Policy Guide, by Matthew Mittelsteadt at Mercatus.  And a clear explanation of the new “autonomous” AIs.

4. Current U.S. defense spending is, in historical terms, at a relative low point.

5. Miami Native, new (non-leftist) magazine on the way, presenting and explicating and enhancing the status of the culture of Miami.  They are looking for contributors.  Mainly a physical copy magazine, planning only a limited presence on-line.

6. Genetic timeline of humans? (speculative)  And I believe in hiring talented 14- to 15-year olds.
