Did not realize that arXiv had that type of feature. May not actually be well known to many others on HN or arXiv. Thanks for noting the feature was even available. Do you happen to know what they're using for the "similarity?&q

And that's before you have to try and actually write for grant funding, perform any actual substantial research (that took more than 1.5 days), serve as an editor or reviewer to do any of that "peer reviewed" part, go to a co

Good point that was not initially noticed. Another in that same tangent, ever notice that a company that makes $350,000,000,000 a year in revenue and has 183k employees, somehow cannot manage to have a main search page that works without Ja

Not really. In the abstract that's just some number. It's the same issue with money. The numbers involved don't mean anything. 1, 2, 3, 4, large number. Most measurements that actually tend to mean anything tend to be hu

To the HN folks, maybe we need a "Who wants an academic opportunity?" type thread? Seems like there's a need for Masters / PhD / Post-Doc openings to find Masters / PhD / Post-Doc candidates. "Who w

I actually looked a bit yesterday, and checked FB particularly to see what the situation was, and maybe have my own anecdotal take. At least part of what I found was that there did not seem to be much actual discussion. It didn't real

I sympathize with the authors pain, and at least from the comments, it sounds like most have a similar view of CORS. Many weeks of face -> keyboard in response. At some point trying to write JS, I really started believe that the people

The discover part at least seems to work acceptably. Stumbled across the Lang's Fairy Books from the late 1800's and early 1900's that collected ~800 stories and 150 poem about mythology, folklore, and fairy tales from all o

Not sure if this is the creator of the Github project, yet one improvement would be view frustrum culling. Registers 700,000 triangles even when there's nothing visible on-screen, just because the Stanford rabbits happen to be nearby i

At least part is probably due to the main news stories that were happening on 1/24/2025. That was the day that ICE started their "Nationwide Deportation Operation" on immigrants and it was the same day that a judge bloc

Hadn't heard of it either until up-thread so I looked. The two primary articles that were found on a search were from Reuters and the San Antonio Express News. Most other seem to just be referencing the Reuters article and using the

The European research budget is not insignificant. Horizon Europe 2021-2027 is the current vehicle that much of the funding is going through (European Research Council [ERC] being one of the most well known parts). It has a budget for the

Thanks for the link on 18F in the feds. Didn't realize how much they had put up on Github and other areas [1]. analytics.usa.gov [2] is also pretty cool. Apparently its Jekyll, Sass, React and d3 from their Github. 343,025 first tim
