Paywalled, but I did see that it looks like Mathematics is the predicted profession to be taken over (I could be wrong). It seems to me something like history might be more at risk. In mathematics a wrong result can be checked. With somethi

I do not live in Austin but I also know that Canyon Lake, Wimberley, and Bulverde libraries all have nice maker spaces.

I have been trying to read the Bible for most of my life. I find it hard to get through (at least in my begging to end attempts). Having recently finished Genesis (Creation, Abraham through Joseph). I think many people have a fairly romanti

Whoever can enjoy what ever. There is some danger in romanticize things. Romanticizing shows the good in something but leaves out the difficulties. Some may very well enjoy an extremely remote and isolated lifestyle but it is not a Disney

I sometime think we should have two votes for politicians one to get in office and one for how much jail time to serve when they leave (or maybe a bonus). This is more of a joke, but it would be nice to see public servants held accountable

Maybe so, but the wiki article does not get into specifics of rivers or drainage basins. A any rate it is interesting to see some of the math behind the phenomena that we see in the world around us.

I am saying that the 100 photos presented did not look especially austere to me. As some one growing up in similar times in a middle class (more rural) area these pictures just looked pretty normal slice of every day life (with a difference

Maybe, I do not know how the number of neurons in a child's brain and the connections compare to Claude and its training but I would think it is comparable. Also, while a child might sleep the brain does not just switch off, there is s

Yes, I have heard a lot about the austerity of life in the USSR growing up in the 1980s. Comparing life in the world of today to what was available , even in the US, is going to look meager. Growing up in a small town in the 1980s in the US

I think maybe the old world (having seen about half a century) is always dying. For me it was a strange article (but worth the read). The good old days were not all bad and progress is not always the word I think of in these modern times

So, tfa does not really cover this in great depth but it looks like it is mostly over in terms of new cases, at least just looking at the graph. Maybe though it is just a time delay between new cases and reporting.

Might make an ok short story. Astronauts find a body in space dresses in a white lab coat, tie, and horn rimmed glasses. Turns out to be reclusive scientist not seen in years.

I am constantly impressed by what I hear about the Amish. It is not that I know lots about them (I do not) but stories like this make me think there is a bunch of thoughtful Amish. Does anyone have any experience with them? The last couple

One of the problems (as a non math trained person) papers heavy in math is running into greek letters. Sometimes is a greek letter stands for a well known function that I do not recognize. Then I need to stop and look up what it means. Some

Who would want to pass up the opportunity to have a picture of a frowning old man on their passport for 10 years.

Depending on lots of things I tend to believe that individual consumers would be the last to see any benefit. Profit will go to the producers first and then the distributors and the consumers will keep consuming.
