Researchers _would_ leave in droves if they could. But it turns out the entire world doesn't actually care much for research. The US was actually unique in that regard.

Comparing it to the trolley problem is incorrect. COVID had real potential to kill you, even as a young person. At that point its a matter of risk assessment for yourself. Take a 2% chance of dying, a slightly higher chance of reduced quality of life (long COVID), or take a lottery-winning chance of dying to this blood clot. It is appropriate to do the math correctly to decide if this makes sense, but to claim that scientists and advocates did not do this personal risk assessment math and merely went off the benefits of herd immunity is a lie and anti-vaccine propaganda.

Let's take a moment to put the AI psychosis down and think through your comment:

1. AI is so good that you can get your game working to your vision in a matter of weeks without needing to depend on godot

2. Godot is making a mistake refusing AI contributions

How exactly is godot making a mistake, if AI is so good that godot is defunct anyway?

It's a good thing what random people thing is not taken a science these days, oh wait I guess science is on a historic decline as well.

Maybe it's not climate chance, pseudo intellectualism, late stage capitalism, etc. Nah, it's the kids in their group chat or scrolling through tiktok, that's it, that's the reason.

You should know full well you need some method of determining if a student is competent enough to move on to the next class in whatever sequence. Perhaps universities are slacking on this front, but at a minimum a student who doesn't understand the basics of Calc I should not go take Calc II

Citation needed, the last time a colleague engaged with the education college and supposed educators they looked at an induction proof with sheer bewilderment as if teaching this at all was impossible

Oh you mean like funding science? Dumbass.

Why is government research doing what the industry should be. The point of government research is to enable people to work on things without requiring some economical impact.

The fact you just happily ignore the political situation and the fact this is CLEARLY anti intellectual bullshit says all that needs to be said about you.

But did they? Or did they just go off what answer felt better? Did they put in any work to actually confirm the answer? Or did the busy law professors just click through and move on with their life?

It's an internet forum, I didn't claim anything. And your doctor isn't going to first biopsy just a little bit of a polyp to determine if it's the "bad" kind, he's going to remove all of it.

It's annoying pedantry, a distinction without a difference.

Though I regurgitate this information based off conversations with gastroenterologists not one off studies.

A colonoscopy is more than screening, if they see a polyp they remove it. Left alone that polyp will very likely eventually become cancer. Routine colonoscopies for someone with IBD is multi purpose, you screen for active disease, fistula, strictures, cancer, while simulatenously treating active disease (polyp removal)

Similar things happen in any general surgery, for example you can get your tubes removed and send up with all your endometriosis that you weren't able to diagnosis removed as well

There is no logic that is more expressive than a Turing machine. In fact, just about every logic you know can only expressive necessarily terminating programs. There is a bit of an issue on what exactly someone means by expressive, but if we're talking programs that compute outputs from inputs (without caring about the invariants imposed on said programs) then this holds.

I don't believe the result at all. I think it contains faulty logic. Perhaps the mathematicians involved can read the tea leaves and decide something interesting happened, but all this AI psychosis bullshit still refuses to accept that AIs do not, and cannot, have a mental model of the world.

Moreover, model output is incredibly good at looking credible but being wrong. It has NEVER produced something correct for me in a field of which I am an expert without some external oracle to validate claims (like e.g., Lean)
