The read was very interesting, and I think you're right, mathematicians are still very much needed, in some sense now more than ever. But the effect is the same across other professions. We need mathematicians, we need professiona

As an old curmudgeon I recoil at any service I can't interact with sans-phone. I hardly use mine for anything. Just be glad your phone number is tied to your account, if you lose the number itself you are royally screwed, and basically

Isn't this basically the WebMD effect migrating to other domains? feels like the same lament doctors have had for ages after anyone could google their symptoms then self-diagnose. While AI is driving it the foundational cause feels lik

just a guess that they're saturated and they don't want to take on a bunch of new subscriptions that they can't sustain also possible we'll see a restructure. Limits on that plan might be too high, possible we'll se

meh, a good number of these had just hit the market in 2021 and clearly had unsustainable prices to drive market penetration. You can also see the "follow the leader" effect with prices converging around $20. If I had to guess I&

Looks like every other website to me, even before Claude was a thing. IMHO new sites have looked like this for a long time. I think it's less of a distinct aesthetic rather than having "Tells" in the template that you might

dug up the story to read myself, nothing like labeling something "taboo" to make it more compelling. The story itself is, meh. It's a pretty straightforward Day-in-the-life-of jaunt involving a rather dysfunctional teacher.

I'm surprised this hasn't run afoul of all-party wiretap laws. Even if you could waive your own rights via ToS other people in the house may not have agreed. Theoretically I could see LG or even the TV's owner being culpable.

10 years later I can say they spent a lot of time putting lipstick on that pig, maybe even a dress and a tiara. Probably one of the nicest pigs out there, but it's still a pig and always will be.

So imma play devil's advocate a bit, cuz I think it's fun, also I dislike bandwagoning. Meta may not be a great company but I don't think their loss here is all that great either: >In New Mexico, Meta is being required to

Normally I would expect this to be self-rectifying, that students without the background for the curriculum would cause graduation rates to drop enough to be a problem. And maybe that's the case but needs more time. More likely (as the

People definitely want it. I can say I want to see it happen. Also people don't know to want what they don't know exists. There just hasn't been the Edison light-bulb/Watt's steam engine/Apple iPhone moment

I suspect that won't last long for a number of reasons - AI is already capable of creating some assets that are indistinguishable from human made ones. Anti-AI sentiment is pointless if they can't tell the difference. - devs in Co
