As a researcher I say it is a good thing. Provided it gives a small number of errors that are easy to check, it is a no-brainer. I would say it is more valuable for authors though to spot obvious issues. I don't think it will drastical

I think GPS is a very good point. I wonder if the capability to disable it exists, and I don't know what effects that will have - i assume many new devices can now use European's Galileo system. (while writing this I can see GPS

While I completely agree crypto is full of shysters and most likely crypto has zero intrinsic value, as well the current administration tries to enrich itself through crypto, I disagree that recent change in prices after announcement prove

They had a sustainable budget, but the government decided to cut already agreed budgets.

It is great you can quickly judge the value of a 5 year research project.

Did you consider what happens to the ratio when students take more than one class ?

Wow, experts in academic careers are contributing here. Can you please give us a source of your knowledge of why people pursue academic careers?

I agree with this view completely. I think some of the programs probably went over the top in my view and I would not mind the pendulum swing back a little bit. But the current government seemed fixated for some reason and just want to kil

That's freedom for you -- you have a word 'diversity' in your grant -- no money.

And what? You know that for example endowment funds have restrictions on what they can be spent on. This is really victim blaming. I would not have an issue if the government has said that for future grant rounds there will be limits on o

The fact that the budget is being reduced after it has been negotiated means a cut. And you obviously have no facts to back up your claim that this money was used for "adminstration expenses"

I don't mind a goodreads alternative, but regarding the UI from 2005, I am not sure I care. It works and people are used to it. I am not a supporter of "let's try build a new interface using shiny new technology" for the

To be honest I am not sure I am seeing any reaction from the other fraction either. Yes I do read articles in NYT, and page linked above, but is there any opposition? protests about what is going on, about putting puppets on top of agencies

WP's phrase "Democracy dies in darkness" apparently was not a slogan, but a prediction.

Now, imagine the alternative universe where the government was actually interested in reducing administrative bloat in universities. It could have introduced for example a limit on grant overhead on all future grants, which would have likel

Amazing commenters here -- for them people are like cattle. "Temporary move". Graduate students without an offered position -- it's nothing, they'll just wait a bit. Cut one funding one day, maybe release later.

I am assuming some grant overheads also go to admin.

Obviously it's pointless to try to make any reasoned arguments. These people don't care, they just want to destroy for the sake of it. In the past I wondered how great civilizations collapse and how this could happen. It is just

It would be nice if it was just a conventional graph...

I am puzzled by the fact that the modern LLMs don't do multiplication in the same way humans do it, i.e. digit by digit. Surely they can write an algorithm for that, but why can't they perform it ?

The decimation of science continues. I am sure the consequences of this will be seen in the future. And I truly feel sorry for people affected, people who sacrificed their lives, their pay, to work in science, and now are dealt with like ga

I used this to see if something is repeatedly compiled. I.e. I have the code that runs in a loop and you immediately see if something is compiled only once, or every time. (and it produces a lot of output) I'm not saying this is the b

you can see each compilation if you use JAX_LOG_COMPILES variable or you use low enough logging level.

How nice to invite the company that is being regulated and fined multiple times by the FAA ( https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/spacex-forcefully-r... ) to overhaul it. This is just batsh*t crazy.

I am sure Elon's apologists will find the reason to say why this is the best way to "reduce waste", "reform", "optimise".

To be honest it is unclear if this is grifting, or just stupidity. I think the latter is more likely. And stupidity is probably not impeachable...

I don't think the supreme court opinion matters in my opinion. I think it is the question of incentives. We should not be surprised if companies optimize for profits, especially if they are owned by shareholders who mainly care about p

I had a chance of working in a few brutalist style buildings (in different countries) and I hated it. All this concrete looks pretty horrible and is depressing inside. This actually brings a point about architecture. I feel that first and f

For people in the UK I strongly recommend the BBC program on carbon capture https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00256gj/panorama-can-... that goes over several approaches, and goes over problems of scaling
