Dr. John Gall was my pediatrician! When I was young, I was interested in astronomy and he gave me a membership in the astronomy book club. I only learned of his work on system theo…

I think this is the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0212043

You can look him up on Google scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=baVVmaoAAAAJ&hl=en In 2020/2021 he has at least 3 first author papers and a number of co-authored p…

I looked at a PDF of the bill that was linked to in the WaPo version of the article. It probably doesn't matter until the House passes its version, but there are funds for AI workf…

FWIW, this was actually in my wish List on Amazon, so I will eventually get around to buying it. I have Amazon unlimited, so I don't know how much this will help you--the book's de…

At it's best, that's what scientific reports is (in a number of subfields)--a place to put research that is reviewed for technical correctness. There may be debate about how well i…

@eloff I think our replies crossed. I think that the question is whether you are still at a net positive as a result of inflation (consider the counterfactual).

In what sense? In a world of fiat currency, post-Bretton Woods, what does money mean? I am not an expert by any means, but to me, it seems like the USD has value (ignore the rest o…

I guess it's just a different way of thinking that I'm unfamiliar with. I have turned down other job offers (30-40% salary increase--not 2x) because I like where I am--coworkers, p…

I guess I'm weird. If I were offered 6 months of severance to quit a job at a successful company where I enjoyed the work and my coworkers, why would I take the offer? I've turned …

I agree with you about the decision not to reflexively fire those responsible for the list. Though for the conversation to veer towards white supremacy and for ~30% of the company …

I was debating about whether to comment on this--whether I could add any useful signal to the noise. My thought is that is a tragedy. Let me start with the business case. It result…

I have seen another approach (also with STEM PhDs), where it isn't an income share, but rather that the incubator gets a referral fee if the student is hired--similar to a recruite…

Is the problem the grant process or the lack of cash to award? There are pre-proposals for say department of energy that are only a couple of pages so you can see if you should was…

While this seems to give the impression that science is not functioning, I don't see this as the case. I will give an example from my field. Before Covid struck, I was at a confere…

Great! So it's not just me! As I understand the paper, their main point seems to be that as you extrapolate out in time, you need to not just handle the physics of CO2 that is alre…

Is this true though? Wouldn't it be rather boring if the standard model continues work? In the end, Josephson won. Even the example that the author here mentions with breast cancer…

This is a challenging issue. I see a few reasons that companies want to increase demographic diversity. One would be that some companies are trying to address more demographically …

It reminds me of a graduate quantum class I had. The professor gave what he called "infinite time length exams". We would come in during the afternoon and we could stay as long as …

I read it in college for a science fiction class. It was amazing. Orwell also thought so( https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2009/jun/08/geor... ).

I am a bit confused by this. I went to college in the Midwest in the 90s (grew up in the Midwest) and to grad school on the east coast. I am agnostic, but my grandfather was a bapt…

I remember listening to this episode! I often actually disagree with the host fairly often, but find him worth listening to. I think it doesn't happen because other art museums wil…

Cool! How does this compare with polynote and Gigantum?
