I'm not disputing that the Quanta article is factually deficient - although I don't have the relevant specialist knowledge to understand why. I am disputing that this marks the "death" of the magazine.
- dekken_ 4y agoPurely speaking for myself, but I could tell it was metaphorical. Given the "magazine" is still operating, and that I read some of the article.
- nobodyandproud 4y agoA plain reading of the first four or five paragraphs doesn’t tell me that this is a calculation.
- dekken_ 4y agoI meant that the magazine is not literally dead, but in the sense of "dead to me".

Amusingly(?) this article you linked is a lie, since he explicitly denies that he meant it that way. (Also, it's on a news site but isn't news?) This is the traditional extremely angry misreading of a normal Matt Yglesias tweet; it's sometimes known as "cope".
- oh_my_goodness 4y agoNot death of magazine. Correct. But is the distinction between calculation and experiment really specialist knowledge?
