From the abstract: "The Index captures technical exposure, where AI can perform occupational tasks, not displacement outcomes or adoption timelines." (emphasis mine)
The 11.7% figures is the modeled reduction in "wage value", which appears to be marketplace value of (human) work.
I don't think of it as eliding obvious operators. Rather in mathematics juxtaposition is used as an operator to represent multiplication. You would never elide an addition operator.
So X next to D still means multiplication as long as you can tell that X and D are separate entities.
I would wonder why they switched conventions in the middle of an expression though.
Assuming my math is correct, it's already affected by nearby human scale masses, for certain values of "near".
Often, randomness is thought of as something you want to keep hidden, such as when generating passwords or cryptographic keys. However, there are many applications where an independent and public source of randomness is useful. For example, randomizing public audits, selecting candidates for jury duty, or fairly assigning resources through a lottery.
E.g. imagine your test has a 5% false positive rate for a disease only 1 in 1 million people has. If you test 1 million people you expect 50,000 false positive and 1 true positive. So the chance that one of those positive results is a false positive is 50,000/50,001, not 5/100.
Using a p-value threshold of 0.05 similar to saying: I'm going to use a test that will call a false result positive 5% of the time.
The author said: chance that a positive result is a false positive == the false positive rate.
