Copyright is a very weak tool for protecting creators' interests, because copyright only gives us something to bargain with, without giving us any bargaining power, which means that copyright becomes something we bargain away.

Life is so rich when ease and efficiency are not the measure.

The simple software I wrote really made it a feasible one-person project though, and motivates me to go through the whole process again next year.

Everyone should be lucky enough to find work they enjoy. But for those with ADHD it's a requirement if you want to be successful.

The bug means a large number of citations are automatically attributed to the first paper in a given journal volume, instead of to whichever paper in that volume they were intended for. The issue appears to affect many of the publisher’s online-only titles, such as Nature Communications, Scientific Reports and several BMC journals.

Every time someone maintains a legacy project, documents its history, or tracks down long-lost contributors, they’re weaving the threads that connect computing’s past to its future.

the World Wide Web is just text

Cerquiglini shows that it’s the Norman accent that explains the differences between French and English in pairs like  guerre > war, jardin > garden, coussin > cushion, marché > market, bouteilleur  > butler.  English, he says, is not so much badly-pronounced French, but French pronounced with a Norman accent.

And the whole time, I’ve written stories and parts of my novels during breaks—fifteen minutes for coffee and then half an hour for lunch.

“I’m sort of a complex chaotic systems guy, so I have a low estimate that I actually know what the nonlinear dynamic in the memosphere really was,” he said.

Ilya Sutskever, cofounder and former chief scientist at OpenAI, is said to have led chants of “Feel the AGI!” at team meetings.

America is an absurd country, and I’ve no compunction whatsoever about making fun of it.

Such an omission is strange not only because socialists pride themselves on practicing the “ruthless criticism of everything existing,” but because they are descended from a radical tradition overstuffed with vegetarians two centuries ago.

We depend on a calculator to produce identical results no matter who uses it, but identical results in a writing context are boring at best.

In my admittedly small sample, Altman’s analogy didn’t hold up.

imagine how radically math class must have changed when calculators became widely affordable

Getting page views is not, per se, an indication of scientific quality.

When I make an error in a blog post, I can go in and update it. I am pretty confident that I make approximately as many errors in my published articles as I make in my blog posts, but the latter are much easier to fix, and thus, I would consider my blogs more error-free, and of higher quality.

Some blogs have Open pre-publication Peer Review.

we need a stable scientific record

I don’t see how anyone will become aware of this error when they download our article.

But if a blog has comments, at least you can see what peers thought about a blog post, giving you some data, and often very important insights and alternative viewpoints.

On average, it seems to me almost all blogs practice open science to a much higher extent than scientific journals.

In 2013, François Englert and Peter Higgs were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the development of the Higgs mechanism.

It is encoded in a compact description, the so-called 'Lagrangian', which even fits on t-shirts and coffee mugs.

Actually, the addition of \text{h}.\text{c}. is not required for term 2, since term 2 is self-adjoint.

we recommend using the term 'transformation' instead of 'decay', as this more accurately describes the physical process

where μ and ν are Lorentz indices representing the spacetime components

The latest success was the verification of the Brout–Englert–Higgs field by ATLAS and CMS at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in 2012. Both experiments successfully detected the quantised excitation of the BEH field—the so-called Higgs boson.

the Brout–Englert–Higgs field interacts with particles that have mass (all particles except the gluon and the photon)

Matter particles can be divided into three groups: quarks (q) and antiquarks (\bar{q}); electrically charged leptons (\ell) and antileptons (\bar{\ell}); neutrinos (ν) and antineutrinos (\bar{\nu}). Gluons (g) couple to colour charge, which only quarks, antiquarks, and gluons themselves, have.
