I have a 2021 G15, but it looks like the 2022 G15 is still ryzen, I’ve had really good experiences with it. Ive never fwlt like I needed more screen (15.6" is pretty close to 16"), and the battery is great. Just don’t get it if you need a webcam on the move! FYI, the Zephyrus naming convention is that G notebooks have AMD processors, and the M series have Intel.
Pro tip: use zotero. Its an open-source bibliography program, you can export the entire bibliography at once in whatever format you want.
Yeah I remember that conspiracy theory. Iirc, the claim was basically that any company which had any relationship with any US institution must be a honeypot. It was pretty out there, and as far as I’m aware it was very much debunked.
I’m pretty sure that the Google libraries F-droid are things like the push notification service, which afaik almost anything with notifications uses, even signal.
I’ve never actually compiled from source, but AFAIK they are open source. Its been convenient to use for me, just make very sure you don’t lose your password!
That is true, but software is a much newer field overall than academia – journals like Nature are over 100 years old, and the way prestige of journals works in academia and publishing hasn’t changed significantly since the 50s. Academic publishing has a lot more momentum to change than tech, and academics have very little power to do so on an institutional level, it kinda has to come from administrators, who don’t understand the problem or care.
I’m gonna pitch that a potato is a volume (3D), a chip is a surface (2D), and a fry is a line (1D), and so fries and chips should be flipped.
This is very true! The structure of scientific revolutions is an interesting perspective on this, although it focuses on the huge leaps. It talks a lot about how incremental progress and huge leaps into new ways of understanding a science are mutually dependent.
Fun fact, the NSF was founded after WWII to fund basic science just in case it found something with applications.
Unfortunately, the driving force behind it was the DOD, whose idea was that if even 1% of the work funded eventually became relevant to weapons research, then it would be “worth it”. But hey, at least basic science got funded.
