In fairness, I don't think the lack of Nobel prizes is a valid criticism here. The average time from discovery to a Nobel is close to 30 years at the moment and the Saudis built their first major research university…
Square Kufic is easy to read for native readers when you add diacritical marks and keep the general order along a path. You'll often see words or phrases repeated or flipped to make cool geometric designs, which is easy…
Do you not see the logical link by which these more general studies contextualize and support my earlier statements?
I am not obliged to defend every statement I make with a study for my thoughts and experiences to be worth sharing. Also, anecdotal evidence is evidence. Not as generalizable as controlled studies but not as worthless…
At least partly. When I was starting out, I would apply to dev positions only to get offers to interview for lower-paid QA positions. After changing to a gender-neutral nickname and removing all female-identifying terms…
I would argue that you are overestimating the help women used to get from extended families in terms of protection from abuse. That kind of life came along with rigid societal expectations, extremely limited economic…
As far as I know, in the US, the custody and house/apartment is almost always given to the parent who /wants/ the children. Men often don't fight for custody. They should. Also, the division of assets is not out of…
Inkscape with a Latex extension is the best tool for making scientific posters imo.
I was just about to comment about this because his description is textbook ADHD in girls.
Absolutely true. I am especially amazed by the confidence with which they present their claims.
The ugly apartment buildings you are seeing are probably one-plus-five buildings (one concrete + five wood floors) that are actually optimized for balancing zoning+codes+affordability for single-family apartments. At…
It is an obvious pattern known to anyone who visited or attended Eastern European or Middle Eastern universities. Here is an example I saw recently: Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi is a STEM research-focused university…
The author is a man. This is an article sharing his experiences driving drunk people very late at night, which tend to be older men because women and younger men tend to leave earlier. I do not see this article as an…
Topological materials are relatively new and increasingly promising for both technological and pure science reasons.
Having to write a couple of paragraphs is not bad per se, just not sufficiently interesting on its own. some current referral systems already request reference letters and reward successful referrals. It might be fun to…
Perhaps a version without the payment aspect but with rewards would have been received better. Say a potential referrer would sign up and get three reference tokens (which expire) periodically. Then they can use one to…
...it saddens me how true that is given the last few years. I still like to think most people are capable of a deeper level of understanding.
Well, yeah, these models can not interact and observe the world to test the veracity of claims. They are language models and the target for them is text production. No one expects them to understand the universe. My…
The problem with models like GPT-3 is that they are unable to differentiate between information sources with different "trustworthiness." They learn conspiracies and wrong claims and repeat them. It's possible to feed…
Not everyone is rich enough to also buy a desktop computer or have space for it? Not to mention that the hassle of duplicating software and data files between a laptop and a desktop is too much work for anyone who does…
Every time someone tells me they liked "How to Win Friends and Influence People" without mentioning some reservations about the sexist and classist content, I think less well of them. I have yet to regret doing so.
I'm also curious, what has Title IX got to do with the rest? It has nothing to do with churches, does it?
I'm pleasantly surprised that these sculptures survived the centuries of intentional destruction of such artifacts in the region. The scratched(?) graffiti is disappointing though.
The decision of what gets added to such standards is largely a combination of politics and what is actively being used. Some companies and research labs wanted it to be added and they lobbied successfully for it. This…
The quoted argument is too simplistic and ignores feedback processes that would prevent reaching the catastrophic prediction. We can't predict 400 years so flippantly. The population will most definitely not continue to…
