Just because “information wants to be free” is a thing people say doesn’t mean it’s true.
He also calls everyone a grifter, when he seems like one himself. Im deeply skeptical of our AI overlords, but its disingenuous to keep pretwnding theres nothing there.
A lot of people in this thread are talking about how they did in-person exams, handwritten problem sets in class, etc. This kind of thing is more challenging in the humanities, where the research paper is kind of our…
As an academic, I am happy to see my work on Anna's Archive. Unless your book goes gangbusters, few humanities scholars make any real money from publications, and maybe the 5-10 biggest names in my field make something…
Was this written by a person or an AI agent?
Not a conventional theater, but I recently went to Vidiots in Los Angeles and enjoyed myself so much I went back a week later. The location I went to has two theaters—37 seat and 270 seat, both with comfortable seating…
I use emdashes and endashes all the time—but maybe that's because I'm an academic?
Powell is a grifter? The guy who held the US economy together through a pandemic and subsequent inflation?
Like many others, the ability to run uBO is the main reason I use Firefox. Otherwise I'd use Chrome or Safari.
I don't think there's any legal exposure here. Article 16 of 14.063 gives an exception to code protected by Law 12.527/2011. Articles 22 and 23 seem to clearly allow for not releasing source code if that release risks…
I'm running 8GB on an M2 and it's no problem at all. I'm not a developer, but will run more CPU/memory intensive processes than most users.
While we can't blame colonialism for everything, "tribalism" throughout much of Africa is as much a product of colonial strategy (divide and conquer) as it is precolonial tension. British colonial administrators…
Was everything hunky dory after the reformation? Protestant missionaries cleared the ground for British and Dutch colonialism. There’s no one Islam, so it depends on which Muslims you’re talking to.

The book very explicitly gives credit to the essay, so much so that Mattern frames the argument in relation to the earlier essay.
Counters used to be a standard feature on personal websites. Also, the fact that there were far fewer, and that they one typically discovered other sites through shared weird interests or sheer luck changed the whole…
Are people defending WhatsApp, or just saying its widely used? In the places I go, you use it for everything from contacting friends to messaging businesses to schedule appointments. It's unavoidable.
I spend a lot of time in São Paulo, and no matter how you slice it, housing is cheaper there. Adjunct professors and freelancers can afford houses there. Maids can afford houses, albeit far from the center. Everyone…
But why? I resisted for years and started taking them a few months ago, and they really seem to be helping. I'm not so much ignoring the structural issues as I'm not so sore from them that I can't deal with them frankly.
Do you really think professors flag plagiarism only when it's cut and dry? Absolutely not. Plenty, if not most, flagged cases of plagiarism are ambiguous. The process at most colleges and universities typically accounts…
On the other hand, I'm a professional academic, and I haven't ever met a highly productive scholar who uses ZK.
I do write for a living, and I found Zettelkasten too high friction to be worth using. Plus, as Cal Newport has argued, it solves the wrong problem. The whole pitch of ZK is that you can jump into your notes and quickly…
Decriminalizing drugs doesn’t fix the supply problem, which makes drug use such a budensome expense that there are all kinds of knock on effects (theft, poverty, etc). Someone commented on how rich people don’t see drug…
“Pão” is pronounced pretty similarly to “pan,” and nothing at all like “pow
Well, looks like I'll never be using copilot.
