I wish #academics understood that simply being in their presence doesn't do jack sh$t for anyone- it's about stuff from the project itself. 'I existed in xyz lab' wont get you a job cleaning dishes in the real world.
If you hire an independent researcher to do X and then say let's just do Y four months into the process, you've screwed him over.
Why, why do I have to keep making posts like these?

A longitudinal study of ~ 500 children in Singapore examined their academic performance and working memory at ages 9 and 10.5 relative to parent reports of their children's screen viewing time at ages 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, and 8 years. Greater screen time at ages 1 and 6 were associated with poorer academic performance at age 9.5 and poorer working memory at age 10.
Summary: https://scitechdaily.com/screen-time-at-ages-1-and-6-linked-to-lasting-learning-and-memory-effects/

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
I am sure that university life would be better, both intellectually and morally, if most university students had temporary childless marriages. This would afford a solution to the sexual urge neither restless nor surreptitious, neither mercenary nor casual, and of such a nature that it need not take up time which ought to be given to work.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 9 “Sex in Education” (1932)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/850…

This will go poorly for The Jews™ 🫠
"#Australian #universities will be required to adopt definitions on #antisemitism, #Islamophobia and #racism towards #Aboriginal and #TorresStraitIslander people from next year, under a legally enforceable standard designed to stamp out #discrimination on #campuses.
Details of the #antiracism standard will be published on Monday as #university bosses, #students and #academics prepare to appear at the royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion.
A separate set of governance principles will also become enforceable standards, including an obligation on public universities to publish vice-chancellor salaries, spending on consultants and the outcome of board meetings.
The introduction of a formal anti-racism standard was part of the antisemitism plan that the federal government published after the #Bondimassacre, and a recommendation from the #HumanRightsCommission’s landmark report on racism at #Australia’s universities."

🚀 Oh joy, another paper on #Rust that has more authors than actual lines of code 📚😆. Apparently, Rust's #ownership type system is so complex it takes 12 #academics to decipher it, and yet the world still turns 🌍. Who knew model checking could be this thrilling? 🙄

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 📝📊 The #SAT was first administered to 8,000 students in June 1926, born from #WorldWarI #military I.Q. tests designed by #Princeton psychologist and eugenicist Carl Brigham.
Now taken by two million #students annually, fewer than 10% of U.S. #colleges require it for fall 2026 admissions, a shift accelerated by the #Covid #pandemic and long standing debates about what the test actually measures. The article traces the test’s #evolution from a tool that helped break into the old boys’ network of elite colleges to an #exam whose scores strongly correlate with family #income.
