As an early career scientist, the poaching is only for leading scientists. So even with that a lot of people in US have to leave science, which was already bad because scientists made like half the salary of same expertise in an industry position.

I witnessed an interaction where a grad school professor used AI detector and threatened to fail a student for submitting “AI generated” paper. It was so stupid, even after showing them how if you just add a few spelling mistakes the detection says human written, or even putting their own email in AI detector to show an example. It’s like the saying “little knowledge is dangerous”
I want to join, but they don’t let me
This is how I want things to work. Big Commercial use needs to pay, everyone else get for free, and open source.
I really love desktop applications. They do their job, you install it and it’s done. And you can work towards next version and such while people can decide to not upgrade.
Now everything is cloud, they only maintain one version, they can change it whenever, you can’t get any say, and have to always agree on their policies. And have Internet connection.
If I could make money making desktop applications, I would love that job. Everything is web and AI now


There are different fields of science. In my field (water resources), any scientist that is reasonable knows the climate change is happening, you can see it in any data that spans for last 50 years. We’re focused on how to deal with it, given it’ll get worse. All the future scenarios (from simulations) are worse than history, there’s less worse and more worse depending on how people will act. But I think even the worst case did not have “world war” into consideration. So we might have wayy worse than our predictions. But again, predicting future is hard, there could be effects that we’re not expecting. Specially the current geopolitical scenario when climate change (and greed) is making life hard leading into authoritative regimes which is making it worse on top of previous policies. Which exceeds the linear growth pattern used in the simulations.
Like, I don’t think a lot of simulation took into account “what if we get rid of all the environmental protection policies?”, maybe a little because they are looking at a lot of different scenarios, but not to this degree, because we didn’t expect this to happen 10 years ago.
Watch frieren
Considering they just hold back packages, but do not do additional testing to release them, yeah, they should not do that.
Arch already has testing repo, normal repo packages on arch are already stable enough


Also, AI can talk and listen, so what’s to say radio won’t have the same problem if enough people start using it
Perfectly reasonable for you to ask that.
Even with IUD you can get pregnant. And yes STDs and things, if you were in a long term relationship then it’s probably fine, but if you’re hooking up for the first time and they’re fussy about it, then yeah, they’re not good.
Stop saying 30%, majority vote is majority vote. It’s statistically valid sampling. If within the sample (those that voted), majority voted one way, means the population leans that way.
Lol, I just made one of my friend try mint…


Could also be “has free time and no stress in life” factor that correlates with watching birds. But being in nature and doing activities that involve the brain is probably good anyway
Interesting, I thought that’d be a normal thing because it makes so much sense.
I didn’t go deeper into it, but I could see several examples in just the first 10 entries here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates
The corporate tax rate starts from high amount, while individual starts from lower amount, and in many case even the top earners don’t have as high. It’s mostly because top earners are still salaried and that’s not “profit”, if you have a business you already are paying corporate tax. Many rich people employ their family to pay less tax, but you can’t do anything that requires specific qualifications.
Edit: for individual tax brackets and what is a reasonable salary, would take more research. I might do that later in the month because now I’m interested.
That’s how it works in many countries.
Business pays tax on profits (revenue - expenses). Salary has smaller tax for business compared to pure profits, employees don’t pay it because it’s not profit. So businesses have incentives to keep human employees instead of keeping all the profits for themselves.
And that applies to all businesses. So if you, for example, bought a carrot for $10, tax is included, you don’t pay tax on it.
In US you pay tax on every transaction. You get salary, you pay tax, you buy a thing, you pay tax, you eat something, again tax. This makes you more aware government is taking money, compared to the first scenario. But it also gives government ways to make complicated rules and give different tax benefits to different people. In the first scenario, government help goes to everyone whether they have a job or not. In this case you only get Tax cuts if you already make money.


Definitely happy I learned it. But I think it also helped I was introduced to it when I just started on Linux.
Most people that use Linux already has editor of choice, and emacs in windows doesn’t feel the same. I’ve had friends show interest in emacs because of how I use it, but it’s always such a hassle to set things up in windows.


Good luck with everything. Go at your own pace, hosting is just leaving a computer on. Add more things as you need and that’s all there is in my opinion. But of course you’ll learn security, backups, and other things as you need.


It is really good when I’m already using something, so I contribute to it because there’s something I wanna fix or add.
But when I’m feeling an itch to make something, then contributing can’t help because I don’t wanna go search for similar projects. I just wanna build.


Emacs is hard to refer to new users (unless they have the passion and time for these things), but I feel lucky I learned it while I had free time.
I feel like projects like these are the only ones that won’t betray us.
Did it hear from the Vatican that capybara is a fish?
