While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

Hi geoscientists! ⚒️🧪

Anyone out there who might talk to me over the weekend about andean-style subduction zones (guess which one)? I'm interested in what SZ structures mean for melting processes in volcanic arcs. There's tons of published stuff, so I'm a bit overwhelmed and need help. 🙈

One of the biggest obstacles faced by my first-gen students is a fear of writing. Fear that they'll be called stupid or wrong. Fear that they won't use "smart" words. Instead of working through that fear, LLMs give them a way to never confront it, never overcome it, never learn. I hate it so much
