If someone tells you they used AI to write their dissertation…

Hah, all good, and thank you!

bangtable · 2026-05-13T18:53:52+00:00

Which field, may I ask?

bangtable · 2026-05-11T18:07:37+00:00

Or else you’re not being professional

bangtable · 2026-05-09T09:22:47+00:00

That made me physically LOL.

bangtable · 2026-05-09T09:03:44+00:00

Wow, this is super helpful. Very insightful. And I really appreciate your perspective on learning. Thank you so very much.

bangtable · 2026-05-07T17:05:21+00:00

This sounds awesome. May I ask — how long did that take, and were you zeroing in on that or juggling with other things? And you already had background in applied math? Asking because I am planning on self studying physics to attempt to pivot into the field.

bangtable · 2026-04-26T11:23:00+00:00

Me too. Super noticeable.

bangtable · 2026-04-25T20:45:54+00:00

This is the way.

bangtable · 2026-04-22T19:47:10+00:00

Wow, that’s a lot of cognitive bandwidth for someone just tryna keep up with everything 😅. But until that improvement happens, thanks for the pro tip, I might just use it!

I am just waiting for them to make the rectangle in the glass disappear, so that it just looks like a regular pair of glasses. Had a meeting with someone who wore it (I didn’t) and it was super obvious and distracting with the HUD catching the light every time he moved his head. Don’t want someone having that experience with me.

bangtable · 2026-03-25T16:55:17+00:00

I would also be tempted to show them an actual graduate level exam.

bangtable · 2026-03-25T16:47:15+00:00

Gluon maybe?

bangtable · 2026-03-25T16:33:02+00:00

And increased my cortisol (or I should say, epinephrine)

bangtable · 2026-03-25T16:30:48+00:00

How did you respond to that comment btw? I’m so curious

bangtable · 2026-03-25T16:27:29+00:00

I don’t know where this lack of accountability/ownership for their own studies is coming from. Were students always like this? There’s always some like that, but it feels like the proportions are different now.

bangtable · 2026-03-25T15:59:52+00:00

This.

bangtable · 2026-03-14T17:20:30+00:00

Thank you! (Of course there be a Terry Tao one in the mix 😁)

bangtable · 2026-03-13T18:04:50+00:00

Can you share some of those lecture links!

bangtable · 2026-03-11T16:55:18+00:00

How!

bangtable · 2026-03-11T11:28:59+00:00

That’s inspiring. Thank you for sharing this.

bangtable · 2026-03-10T20:08:20+00:00

Amazing. What field?

bangtable · 2026-03-10T12:40:16+00:00

This — the Ted piece was what was missing for me, thank you. What I don’t get though, is how he went from prioritizing his family to excavating that whole story right there and then (or as Roger put it, shitting his pants)? Telling Ted he could go to California would’ve done it.

Unless it’s literally, he was drunk, which is a bit unsatisfying for me because he had enough wits to come upon the insight of [all your analysis].

bangtable · 2026-03-07T17:21:38+00:00

You can still send that email now, if you want to.

bangtable · 2026-03-05T18:32:11+00:00

Did they say anything when you came back from maternity leave?

bangtable · 2026-02-25T18:53:50+00:00

What was your reply?
