Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 7hThe dude is insufferable. Just keeps moving the goalposts whenever he's wrong (pretty much for the past two years). He will eventually be right about something, much in the way a broken clock is right twice per day, and he will declare victory as if he was correct all along. 000

Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It's certainly disruptive to how mathematicians have typically worked (and why they entered the field), but there are many disciplines in the humanities and social sciences devoted to understanding the meaning of prior art. It's not like the works of Plato or Shakespeare ended scholarship. 010
Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 06/10/2026NSF is not represented as strongly at the cabinet level. A HHS sec, RFK Jr. certainly doesn't like what NIH is doing, but he's also unlikely to give up its budget (and NIH leadership knows who to complain to). There's no cabinet secretary that owns NSF and can advocate on its behalf. 020

Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Not really emphasized in the article is that consumer debt levels have been rising. Spending may continue for a while but the bills eventually become due. 000
Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Some will but I suspect most won't. And I'm saying this as someone who looks up every word I don't know, whether it's in a New Yorker article, or some word in the NYT Spelling Bee. 2/2 000
Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Again, I can't compare Grammarly to any other method. But I know that people (including many students) will paste writing into a tool that improves it without learning anything. Take spellcheck — do people want to learn the correct spelling or just make the red line go away? 1/2 100
Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I have never used Grammarly, so can't comment. But would asking an LLM to correct a document for clarity and standard English usage (and nothing more) be problematic? And if so, why? 100
Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It’s all part of a slope and I’m not sure where the boundaries should be. Is Grammarly more morally acceptable than ChatGPT? 100

Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I think there's a tangible difference between heavily AI-edited (something that may be useful for non-native speakers) and AI-generated.

Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Demonstrating proof of principle is useful. In fact, it's probably better since they will move on and not crush everyone without effectively infinite resources. Is it advertising? Sure, but that's business. 000
Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026To be fair, AlphaFold has been used widely in the scientific community for years. It may be advertising but it's wrong to say they haven't delivered something useful. That they can devote enormous sums to the enterprise is a different and important issue. 100

Justin Gallivan @justingallivan.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This and its replies underscore why the Democratic party is perceived as elitist. The part of the electorate they lost *may* come back out of spite of what's going on now. This will do nothing to retain them. To be clear, I support higher ed—but other things are higher priority out of the gate. 000
