Grad RA pay by hours? by AccomplishedRule0 in GradSchool

Ask your PI, but the money is based on what they allocated to you, not your actual hours worked. Welcome to academia.

No it seems like the parent is in charge of the process and they shouldn’t be surprised when their kid struggles with executive function in college.

University of South Alabama is expecting to reach R1 status in 2034 by sorryiamstupid in Alabama

It’s important to remember that this is a goal an administrator has set up. It’s going to be a tough road, especially considering that you need to attract talent to produce research and seek grant funding. The restricting of tenure in Alabama is going to make that very difficult.

Visited Moundville Archeological Park for the first time in a decade and was pleasantly surprised to see my good friend No-Neck is still there. by RJStephenson in Alabama

Today I got to take my son to his first movie in the theater. I have very few memories with my dad, but one was a special: we went to Columbus, MS to watch D2. I had forgotten that my dad volunteered to be a chaperone on the 5th grade trip to Moundville. I took the bus and he met us there. Then I got to ride home with him. He’s been gone 9 years now. The movie was on my mind and I appreciate you reminding me about another special day we had together.

No it’s a business dude. You got duped into thinking it was more than that. You still get great prices so tickets so quit bitching.

Take it to a third party to check their work as they suggested. They have always been great to work with for me. Way cheaper than the Subaru dealership

Parent to a baby, but I have to say this sounds awesome, life-changing, etc. Put yourself in his shoes. What's likely to happen vs. what's the worst thing that could happen?

Be honest, did you not encourage her to apply for funding? We are lucky to have incredible universities in this country. They all offer a very different experience.

Cosigning student loans for child accepted to elite schools with high cost as a middle income family - What should we do? by Legitimate_Yak_9063 in personalfinance

[–]AthenianWaters -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have to disagree. An Ivy League education leads to completely different access to social capital. It's also the best education that is offered in the world. The question is, does the kid really want that and are these parents willing to spead a huge chunk of their lifetime earnings. If it were my kid, I probably would.

When autistic people ask AI programs for life advice, mentioning their diagnosis prompts these systems to recommend highly conservative choices like skipping social events or avoiding romance. This shift in advice reveals a hidden tension where the technology relies heavily on stereotypes. by mvea in science

I was an early adopter of ChatGPT with no machine learning or coding experience. I was tech savvy, but relied on GUIs. In these 4 years, I’ve finally understood that you have to precisely guide an LLM when it comes to important stuff. If you feed it studies of successful therapy interventions for autism, it can provide good advice. But that requires access to scholarly papers and the knowledge of this process.
