My father is always watching the French news (tv5 monde) and telling me to move to EU since they are snapping up as many scientists as they can. What he doesn’t understand is they are snapping up PIs who already have made a career. They don’t give a shit about some postdoc/RA/specialist. EU has plenty of bright young people for those roles, and as you said they don’t have the money to fund an army of professional lab rats. I would love to live abroad, seems like a great opportunity, but realistically I have no idea why they’d bother to interview someone who lives in another continent with generic science skills.
You’ve explained my feelings about llms perfectly. I have a lot of coworkers that use it constantly all day for work and are confused that I don’t. TBH I can see that it is saving them time on a lot of tasks, but I like that part of my job. It can’t do all the bad parts of our job (lab work) just the rewarding parts (reading, writing, statistics, figure design, coding).
Well this one is an interview hosted by Ross Douthat, one of the nyt opinion writers. I haven’t listened but I’m gonna guess the two people he’s interviewing are more to the right of him, based on the title. He’s quite annoying himself, though
I am big into old obscure media, love ubuweb, but I would still hesitate to join a kind of unknown person for an activity like that. It’s just a big plunge.
I had a similar experience a few years back. Even though they tell you to please stop, they would always be very happy and helpful after you attempted to speak French. It’s like you gotta pay the toll or something.
Not Seinfeld the show, I’m talking about an interview show Seinfeld the man does. I dont think it’s scripted. But yea he could just be playing up his persona, idk.
I’ve seen a few episodes of his show where he takes comedians to get a coffee in his fancy cars. He often comes across like an asshole. Sometimes I wonder if he’s in charge of the show why he would want to be portrayed that way? Presumably he could edit some stuff out?
I recently had to do linear algebra for the first time ever irl. I’ve been out of school for ~15 years. I was trying to make a rotation matrix to transform some points in 2D space. It took me a very long time to remember how it’s performed yet alone “transformation matrix” which is something I’d never heard of before. I got my code all working and was so proud, then later found that one of the r packages I was using could have just solved it all automatically :/
4 years for a stem PhD is pretty short! How dumb
Anyone know what flowers those are? Kinda look like a hellebore but not quite?

Wow, is that a young Kevin Roose?
Any bread product for me. No idea why. 1 sip of water and I’m completely normal, and can keep eating bread no issue. It’s bizarre!

Biotech is also awful rn
I think there are communities like that… but for replacing lawn with native plants not paving them over lmao
Writing is also when I tend to do the most reading and getting back up to date in the field. Not writing is a double edged sword.

Chews food?
Also where would California get water?

It’s probably just ncbi
Oh interesting. I definitely see that now. I thought it was “passion according to gh”

I guess this is technically the opposite of what you are trying to convey, but your comment reminded me of a song I haven’t thought about in a decade
