The on-ramp in crypto is incredibly well built out. But then, once you are in the fake money world, you will notice that the off-ramp doesn't exist.

You only say that because you benefit from it.

For tenure-track positions—the pipeline for future faculty—white men have gone from 49 percent in 2014 to 27 percent in 2024 (in the humanities, they’ve gone from 39 percent to 21 percent).

Increasingly men have been disenfranchised over the last decade so the only way forward is to take on such titles to at least appear successful. It looks like normal behaviour to me.

I am not railing against anyone. I am simply pointing out the fact.

I am part of the 5%. But not on Steamdeck. Proton has made gaming on Ubuntu feasible, and I usually don't have issues with compatibility.

New comment by ph4rsikal in "Britain today generating 90%+ of electricity from renewables"

Obviously, Electricity is a National Security issue. It's naive to state that the problem is gas prices. Germany is seeing Steel, Automotive, and other hard science companies leave for that very reason.

The strategy should have been to build an energy architecture that reduces prices while being robust against force majeure events.

My observation is that research, especially in AI has left universities, which are now focusing their research to a lesser degree on STEM. It appears research is now done by companies like Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic, Tencent, Alibaba, among many others.

I bought shares after the IPO but sold them all after trying their patty and then forgetting the rest in the freezer for 6 months.

I think the age of SaaS and Software companies is over. Given by all the overhyped TikTok videos there are lots of roles which are not needed.

LangChain is not over-engineered; it's not engineered at all. Pure Chaos.

"dehumanizing"?

What is human about a career website where you can upload your document and answer questions about your sex life, race, religion, and gender?
