In the article, they did not specify if the funding cut is a result of re-structuring direct-indirect cost ratio (essentially no research cut but the administration cut only), or t…

This is huge cut (saving about 4 billion USD a year). I wonder how it is going to affect the quality of research outcomes. It might actually improve research if it reduces the amou…

I see things done by DOGE are getting noticed. I vaguely remember that DOGE will be decommissioned around 2026 independence day I believe? I have no confidence in judging what the …

Because for some people, this is not a scientific peer-reviewed discussion, but rather typical conversation normal people have over dinner table with gut feelings and limited infor…

Here's Veritasium video on Gravitational Lensing effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUyH3XhpLTo

Do you have a published peer-reviewed studies on your method?

Is it proven method? If so, insurance should cover it so you don't have to pay subscription fees out of your pocket. If not, don't bother. There are thousands of services like this…

Science is just a methodology to test hypothesis. It does not matter how you get the result as long as the result is empirically scrutinized.

The first thing that pops out on Google search of NixOS is "Declarative builds and deployments." What exactly is NixOS different from other distros, such as Ubuntu?

This might be due to my lack of comprehension, but your argument seems less focused and sometimes veers into broader concerns about government interference and semantic or technica…

Pell grants are given to the students, but in order to become a student you first have to be accepted to a University. If no universities accepted you because of unfair admission p…

I am not sure where the line lies. If you fund a program that is not run by the government, say 100 billion dollars, should the government not "manipulate" how the program runs? I …

On average I guess alumni contribute more through donation than they receive through the financial aids. I don't know the numbers on this topic, so please pardon my ignorance.

I don't think it is fair to accept Alumni as a sole recipient of lots of tax money for unfair admission.

I would very much like to get rid of federal funding for schools, and allow private student loan with the possibility of purging the borrowed money through bankruptcy procedures. I…

The word "manipulate" is dysphemism for "audit" in my opinion. As I commented below, I don't care how the money is spent as long as it is THEIR money. The federal funding is tax pa…

I don't care how the money is spent as long as it is their money. But the federal funding is not; it is tax payer's money. Tax money should be allocated based on decision made by t…

The problem with this approach is that the private universities still get benefits of federal funding through student aids and research grants. If no federal money was used for the…

About a year ago (I believe), Sam Altman touted his mission to promote safe AI with claims that he has no equity in OpenAI and was never interested in getting any. Look where we ar…

Is this move possibly motivated by what Elon did at Twitter?

Haskell sounds like a good language to hone your programming skills. What kind of projects is Haskell suited for to get started (besides Euler project)? I use Python primarily for …

If AI becomes good enough to replace software engineers, it has already become good enough to replace other brain jobs (lawyers, physicians, accountant, etc). I feel that software …

I really like this concept. I SSH to my university HPC to submit Python script for ML related work (sbatch script.py), and sometimes I edit a script with VIM. Now I can use Jupyter…

I know this is conspiracy theory, but whenever "someone" tries to pass a regulation law in California, I can't help but feel that they are trying to inject bureaucracy into highly …
