literally the most basic ass assessment and somehow it alludes the western mind

Spanish Prime Minister says women’s rights should never be used as a pretext for launching wars that serve other interests. “If we truly believe in the freedom of Iranian women, the response cannot be more violence.”

@teachthemx3 Kids who only spend time with other kids during playtime, but can't learn with other kids, have problems working with teams in the future.
Cause that life lesson of seeing how others can learn at different paces or require unique approaches, will be new to them.

I had a new student in my Algebra II class. She was homeschooled previously, and this was her first experience in public school. Two days in, she’s already unerolling. I’m not surprised, given our last conversation.
Her words when I asked her what she thought: “I wanted to see what all the hype was and maybe go to prom, but this isn’t for me. Most of class is spent waiting for everyone to open their Chromebooks or figure out what to do after the teacher has literally said it 5 times. And, I can’t use the bathrooms because of all the vaping.”
I knew it wasn’t going to work when she brought back an entire unit packet (meant to be completed over 2 weeks) the next day. And no, she didn’t use AI. I asked her a few questions and she could explain the most difficult concepts verbally. She even offered her advice on how the sequencing of the packet could be improved.

A PhD and research are supposed to be hard. It is not for the weak ones. If people want easy lives then they should get into other jobs. Don't get into a PhD if you are not 100% certain that it's what you want to do and are confident of dealing with the issues.

@AbbasComputes Yes courage in academia is very scarce. Even more so than genius.

How can people produce such fits and publish them?

@chenna1985 @richnanophd I guess that "The system needs more risk-tolerant reviewers who recognize disruption potential"
English

@AbbasComputes @richnanophd Think of computational mechanics research, not AI.

@richnanophd @chenna1985 Some things aren't matching in what you're saying. "Visionary" science is what got us here in the first place. "My AI/ML/digital whatever will revolutionize X" type proposals.
English

@chenna1985 Referees often reward incremental work over visionary science. The system needs more risk-tolerant reviewers who recognize disruption potential.

@AbbasComputes I see. I am not surprised. DG community oversells. They can't do it if they don't claim novelty.

One might confuse FVM with the FDM. But, it's hard to understand how one might confuse FVM with FEM.
🤔🤔
One reason I can think of is that some write FEM equations node-wise, which is not how FEM is supposed to be understood and implemented. FEM should be looked at element-wise.
Hiroaki Nishikawa@HiroNishikawa
An author, who published many papers using the word "finite-volume", realized that it was not the right word because it's not really finite-volume but actually equivalent to a finite-element method. I have the same experience. Old papers can cause confusion.
