I for one hope not to live in a world where academic journals fall out of favor and are replaced by vibe-coded papers by citizen scientists with inflated egos from one too many “you’re absolutely right!” Claude responses.
Me neither, but what you present is a false dichotomy. Science used to be a past time of the wealthy elites, it became a profession. By opening up it up progrss was accelerated. Same will happen when publication will be made more open and accessible.
I am not sure. I think we're talking about the one where Trump illegally and unilaterally ignored the sale or de-list deadline passed in said bipartisan bill so he could figure out which Trump loyalists would be taking over. I'm glad they finally got it sorted out a little over a year after the January 19, 2025 deadline in the bill.
I noticed that, too. They seemed to tense up and notice it with enough time to spare to manually intervene and either slam on the brakes or swerve to avoid it.
Do you actually own AirPods or just assume that's the case? Nobody I know has really had to replace their AirPods unless they lose them, forget them in a pocket and wash them, or decide to upgrade after a few years (myself included). Certainly there are some people on the edges who replace them more often for whatever reason, but you might consider the possibility that they sell well because many people (myself again included) believe they are a pretty damn good product.
I don't think wages are suppressed because immigrant tech workers make less money. Instead, It seems like the effect of the dramatically increased supply of workers would dominate, effectively lowering wages; i.e., you can pay less money for a job the more workers there are to take the job.
I find this attitude to be really frustrating. Based on my experiences teaching math a student is not going to learn how to do the impressive things that you might call thinking if they don't have a solid foundation in how to do the basics. Imagine saying that learning the alphabet or spelling rules is just rote memorization and therefore not worth doing. If a person needs to spend all of their brain power thinking through elementary operations then they will have very little left over for the things that we might call thinking. I have seen too many kids who struggle with Algebra not because they can't understand the concepts but because they cannot do basic things like multiply 3x4 without needing to add 3 to 3 to 3 to 3.
