Legalese can certainly seem like nonsense to laymen and shouldn’t have been used in the summary but it is a simple search away

Note this refers to NSW laws not ACT laws but it still gives relevant context.

tendency evidence lacked probative value and had a prejudicial effect.

What if we... reverse the polarity?

If both people have proton:( Maybe time to go back to the sneakernet for file sharing? Mailing flash drives or cds maybe?

Explicitly added to the text.

Yes, this whole thing is really putting me off AI use entirely. Even Overleaf has fallen? Well, back to personal latex files shared by email, I guess.

One more important piece unless I missed it, they were working on the proof using Codex, an openAI product. It’s not clear if openAI lifted their work directly from there.

Mentioning because many programs now include AI integrations with dubious privacy protections, so writing your research paper in ms word or overleaf could potentially expose your ideas to these companies. Back to typewriters?

My cat performed better research this morning, then scratched his litter over it.

They could not pay them a salary or cancel the contract. But a one year postdoc contract is quite cheap compared to an international dispute, I guess this means pretty much take this money, do whatever you want and don't ever talk to us again.

“Research.”

Do they have a blocking mechanism for studies?

Cofnas has been accused of promoting pseudoscientific ideas of racial difference in his online writings, and was reportedly among bloggers recommended to the Palantir founder Peter Thiel by a “race science” researcher.

This makes me sad, whether the plagiarism allegations were founded or not. Either way, he found himself in a very dark place after the resignation.

Thank you! I've been on it for last week or so. Love it! Great site.

I highly recommend Khan Academy. I didn't learn high school algebra (home schooled but both parents worked). Went to university for engineering and was able to pass Calc 1, 2, 3, and linear algebra, largely thanks to Khan.

Great article! I’ve always been self-conscious about my weakness in math, and I’ve recently decided to really focus on improving, so this article came at the perfect time for me. I also think that here in the U.S., schools have been struggling with math education for a while, so hopefully this will make people take notice.

The government doesn't want to fund them. The government doesn't want them getting funding from others. It's almost like the government doesn't want them funded at all. Oh, right.

It's the first time I'm seeing it.

This news is 2 days old.

This guy clearly doesn’t know how science works. One of the things I liked about the movie Oppenheimer was the way scientists were represented. And it was never just one guy in a basement. Collaboration is key.

I’ll say it again because it doesn’t get said enough: Hegseth is an idiot.

Well, yeah, most of what separates which college a person goes to is money rather than skill; although we do like to pretend that prestigious schools only accept more skilled students.

But I am curious about something. Do the fancy schools have the kind of catch-up programs and classes that community colleges do?

Won’t someone think of the CIA-funded international studies programs

I call this a win-win. The Pentagon loses access to some of the best and brightest minds, and the universities learn not to take money from a fickle, political body. It sucks for the people who had research depending on this funding, but with the exception of the 2 schools in blood-red Oklahoma these schools were all in blue states on Trump's shit list, they probably saw it coming.

You’re going to need a gatekeeping system (entrance exam) between high school and college if you want students who can actually read, write, add, and subtract. High school education has mostly been gutted across the US.

At many universities you’re still going to get students admitted on sports scholarships that don’t meet academic requirements. Sports brings in big money to universities.

They can't get funding otherwise and the whole school would fall. They see it as letting a few bad ones through for the good of all. You know what they say about apples though.

So you've got a bunch of kids walking out the door with D- in Trigonometry.

I have no idea how that affects admissions at Berkeley, especially when the Op-Ed writer claims kids with straight As in Calc II who are getting passed over.

The SAT doesn't even test for this. It caps out at Algebra and Geometry. Why go to bat for a program that is testing under what freshmen at Berkeley would be presumably be admitted for?
