@beatnikprof This is often easier said than done. I remember that I had a hard time many math classes and instead of saying something stupid I'd better say nothing. 😅
@BoydStephenSmithJr Nice time! How is the weather where you live? Here in Denmark 🇩🇰 the weather is so bad that I barely want to leave my flat. That said I got enough motivation to do a tempo session earlier this week and 30km/h tailwind makes 4:30min/km feel effortless #running#badweather
And now I can finally say:
I had a review that took two weeks and a review that took two years.
In December 2021 we submitted a paper to PRL and while one reviewer loved it, the other didn't like it. Sadly there was not much hope to win against the comment, "I don't see why I should be very excited about this result ... which is needed in my eyes for a publication in PRL".
After admitting defeat, we send it to Phys Rev Fluids and I'm super happy that Prof. Howard Stone accepted it right away without sending it to further reviewers.
In the paper we discuss the dewetting instability of a thin liquid film on a switchable substrate. We actually found a cool metastable rivulet state.
Last week's spectacular #OpenAI soap-opera hijacked the attention of millions of normal, productive people and nonsensually crammed them full of the fine details of the debate between #EffectiveAltruism (#doomers) and #EffectiveAccelerationism (AKA e/acc), a genuinely absurd debate that was allegedly at the center of the drama.
@pluralistic Nice thread, thanks for the write-up.
Love this phrasing for LLM's "spicy autocomplete", because it really hits the nail on the head for me. I honestly don't know when and why people started to call chatGPT an AI. Media and the internet should not address chatbots as intelligent beings. It's a piece of software that throws words or images at you.
