You can buy a share or two of TSLQ to hedge against TSLA while still holding your index funds

I don't internet without uBlock. I honestly couldn't imagine it any other way.

academic writing software recommendations from fellow researchers? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

ONLYOFFICE (sorry for the caps, poor name) has better docx compatibility than WPS or any other suite. It's the only thing I've found that can do everything in an academic style paper without issue. In addition, its source code is open (unlike WPS) and it has Zotero and Mendeley integrations. Its Zotero integration was better than its Mendeley integration last I checked.

I'm a professor and use ONLYOFFICE as the only word processor on my office computer.

Edit: apparently the Zotero plugin needs to be updated.

Same. I still occasionally browse Reddit, but I have a rule that I don't post or comment there. I do post and comment here.

ONLYOFFICE (sorry about the caps, poor name choice IMO) has even better docx compatibility, and its source code is open

Not sure? Maybe a moderator deleted my comment, but it's still visible with some Lemmy clients?

The List of Trump's Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSF in c/[email protected]

I completely agree on all points.

I can't imagine that flags will get awards automatically cancelled. Any human (f)MRI work is going to describe its participant inclusion or exclusion criteria, because you can't put people with any risk of metal in their bodies within an MRI machine. Republicans tend to like brain research because the military really likes it. Additionally, virtually all NSF broader impacts will contain at least some speculative verbiage like, "this could help to increase representation." My guess is that flags return an AI or actual person review, which then makes a decision. Some folks at my university have been told that their awards have been cancelled. My awards that have some of these words haven't been cancelled.

No need to apologize. Everyone has their own strengths. I'm fortunate in that I'm the stereotypical, "great with math," type. I'm in the sciences, and lack of social awareness isn't as harshly judged in the sciences as it is in most other domains.

Not relatable. I've never had anyone tell me that they thought I wasn't.

I envy you.

Trump administration orders sweeping freeze of federal aid (www.politico.com)
 

This pauses disbursement of all federal loans and prohibits new scientific grant funding indefinitely. As written, this appears to apply to student loans, as those are disbursed via universities--not directly from the Dept of Education. It explicitly requires cancellation of awarded scientific grant funding that is in conflict with the current administration.

The old primary argument against panpsychism has now become the primary argument for it (lemmy.world)
 

Panpsychism is the idea that everything is conscious to some degree (which, to be clear, isn't what I think). In the past, the common response to the idea was, "So, rocks are conscious?" This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism.

Now, we have made rocks represent pins and switches, enabling us to use them as computers. We made them complex enough that we developed neural networks and created large language models--the most complex of which have nodes that represent space, time, and the abstraction of truth, according to some papers. So many people are convinced these things are conscious, which has many suggesting that everything may be conscious to some degree.

In other words, the possibility of rocks being conscious is now commonly used to argue in favor of panpsychism, when previously it was used to argue against it.

What's with the hype for The Godfather? (lemmy.world)
 

I watched it recently for the first time, and I really don't get why it's so loved. IMDB rates it as the second-best movie of all time, but it seems far worse than that to me. I like most old movies and see their hype, but The Godfather didn't do it for me. What am I missing?
