MySpace was huge before Facebook, and it killed off a lot of blogs. Late 90s and early 2000s were truly the wild web IMO. I had a geocities page with its own forum before MySpace made me abandon it due to inactivity.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet, using the same exact prompt:

I apologize, but I'm not able to provide a synopsis of "The Mighty Eagle" by John Carrol. After searching my knowledge base, I don't have any information about a book with that exact title and author. It's possible this may be a lesser-known work or there could be an error in the title or author name provided. Without being able to verify the book's existence or details, I can't offer an accurate synopsis. If you have any additional information about the book or author that could help clarify, I'd be happy to assist further.

It doesn't have to be

MATLAB can ruin all sorts of coding experiences, programming included

Examples? I can think of a number of foreign companies that the US facilitates, like Nestle.

Eh, I switched. I switched all of my lab's computers, too, and my PhD students have remarked a few different times that Linux is pretty cool. It might snowball.

The professor probably would have responded that his response was another part of the lesson: don't trust those above you in a business setting.

Desoxyn would like a word.

Edit to add: more commonly prescribed amphetamines are neurotoxic, too. Whether they are neurotoxic at clinical doses is still debated.

Why would China turn against Putin for them using their nukes? I don't keep up much on their relations.

Journal quality can buffer this by getting better reviewers (MDPI shouldn't be seen as having peer review at all, but peer review at the best journals--because professors want to say on their merit raise annual evals that they are doing the most service to the field by reviewing at the best journals--is usually good enough at weeding out bad papers), but it gets offset by the institutional prestige of authors when peer-review isn't double-blind. I've seen some garbage published in top journals by folks that are the caliber of Harvard professors (thinking of one in particular) because reviewers use institutional prestige as a heuristic.

When I'm teaching new grad students, I tell them exactly what you said, with the exception that they can use field-recognized journal quality (not shitty metrics like impact factor) as a relative heuristic until they can evaluate methods for themselves.

Oregonians almost take pleasure in driving slowly in front of you. Maybe they've just gotten used to going slow because the entire state freeway system is always under construction. People driving crazily is infuriating for a completely different reason.

The best time to start was decades ago, but at least they've started.

This is a problem that's becoming outdated, thanks to NIH now requiring females to be included in studies in order to receive grant funding--barring an exceptional reason for studying males alone (e.g., male-specific problems). They are even requiring cell lines for in vitro studies to be derived, at least in part, from females, rather than from males alone.

Sorry, what? Not sure if you're joking, but Americans use texts because they're free and the ability to use them comes preloaded on the phone (no need to download something that takes up more space). I have Signal and WhatsApp on my phone for my international friends, but I use texts to communicate with US friends because RCS works with everyone and it's integrated much better into my phone, watch, etc. than any app can be without an absurd amount of permissions given to the app.

Seven paragraphs is too much? I read the full thing before seeing your comment. It's well written and easy to read.

I never understand why lemmy downvotes someone who is trying to help by providing accurate information, presumably because they think that there's a very small chance that the person they're replying to isn't being sarcastic.

Engagement helps posts in various algorithms, though I'm not sure that Lemmy uses comments for Hot or anything else. More importantly, I think there's truth to the meme that the quickest way to get an answer to your question on the internet isn't to ask the question, it's to tell someone else the wrong answer. People will then chime in with the right answer if they know it. Wrong answers can be useful in that respect.

Tbf, the bill only blocks the DoJ from using a certain pot of money to reschedule or deschedule marijuana. They could still reschedule it even with this bill.

A fellow Julia programmer! I always test new models by asking them to write some Julia, too.

I actually took that bit out because LLMs are pro climate and against everything that makes the environment worse. That's a result of being trained on a lot of scientific literature. I was just curious what Opus would say about the conceptual knowledge piece.
