I know. I’m an immigrant myself. I just hold out hope that things will change for the better, and was relieved that it wasn’t as bad as the post first suggested. That would have devastated my department’s masters programs.

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

It seems people are already moving to Amtrak. I’m a regular train user, and suddenly realized that I need to book 7 - 10 days ahead instead of 2, even for midweek.

I worked on geochemical modeling for the Nirex proposal back in the 90’s and was surprised to see a return to the same location, as the reason that didn’t go ahead was fundamentally geological. But I haven’t really been following the story since returning to academia and emigrating.

The back- and side-door cold fronts are converging at #NYC and producing an extremely impressive - and unusual - temperature gradient across the city, via NYS Mesonet obs. Temperatures in the low 80s across traditional seabreeze-prone locations are 30F warmer than inland locations right now.

We had 33 kids in primary school in the late 70’s. As an adult, I marvel at how innovative our teachers were at running an engaging, fear free classroom with differentiation for kids of different abilities. Lots of organized physical activity during the day definitely helped.
