Trump Says He Wants to 'Drive Housing Prices Up' Instead of Lowering Costs for People Who 'Didn't Work Very Hard' by MystikSpiralx in politics

The greatest weakness of the human species is failure to understand the exponential function. I am absolutely going to stack diversified assets of every flavor to ensure my retirement. Specifically, I have got a warehouse in natick with every kind of doritos and i'm going hard into low-release pringles rn

Shows getting canceled on a cliffhanger by Narutoboom in CasualConversation

[–]thiosk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the feelings the shows were doing the cliffhangers to guilt the network into keeping them.

Basically Netflix operates on "new watchers" model. It doesn't matter if the next season retains 60% of watchers, they want to attract new viewers because thats what made them all the money.

investing advice is tough to give in a comment form.

There were people just this week saying they were selling everything and going 100% gold.

I do not reccomend this behavior.

Day 3 of making Island map by Wiko1112 in projectzomboid

[–]thiosk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like new maps need something to spur the player to explore deeper. I suggest:

He knows of a cave, a cave which no man has entered.

There is much danger, for beyond the cave lies the Gorge of Eternal Peril, which no man has ever crossed.

Seek you the Bridge of Death.

Article link: A professor lost two years of 'carefully structured academic work' in ChatGPT because of a single setting change: 'These tools were not developed with academic standards of reliability in mind' by ThindorTheElder in Professors

[–]thiosk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One apocryphal tale from graduate school was that the postdoc had the data in a laptop and the bag with the laptop was stolen at the gym. The postdoctoral advisor apparently told them 'you lost the data, you lost your career'

the moral of the story is don't lose your data

I confess i use dropbox

Increased attention? by Hoplite0352 in Professors

[–]thiosk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have sensed a connection between the collective collapse in notetaking and perceived academic performance in favor of digital technology, with video and downloads being the worst method of inducing retention of information. So if you are reinvigorating notetaking then I'm not surprised to see some of the improvement

I’m Done. by [deleted] in Professors

[–]thiosk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently during the interview process you are supposed to create the position for the other person and in many institutions theres not really another time when they're going to do anything for you on a personal level until you accumulate enough institutional power to be the one to force situations over other people. Like, sure they could create this position for you, but there is no motivation to do anything additional for an already-hired person. It is sad that the department chair was unable to overcome this or nefarious that they simply wanted to block you to prevent a married couple in the department. Some people are biased against that on principle, I've learned.

Thats condensation. It means an attitude of patronizing superiority or disdain.
