That’s my read too, they’re only focused on the short term sort of by design

In academia there’s a pretty solid understanding that grad students need to be included broadly not just for their own edification but because they are the next generation of scientists and if we want the whole enterprise to keep rolling we need new generations.
It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the tech sector. Typically upgrades in technology that allow the workers to be more efficient towards a task only briefly make a company more money than their competitors (limited to the gap of time where others haven’t made the same ‘upgrade’). If they all cut out low level engineers to tighten profit margins they’ll have to pay increasingly large amounts to a shrinking and aging pool of engineers who have experience.

- Comment on Palestine Action victory leaves cops and Cooper in a proper dilemma 4 weeks ago:
He granted Huda Ammori leave to bring a full judicial review on the basis that it is arguable that:
1. The order is a disproportionate interference with Articles 10 and 11 of European Convention on Human Rights [the rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly]; and that
2. Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, breached the duty to consult, by failing to consult either Palestine Action or civil liberties organisations on the impact of the order, while consulting with representatives from the Israeli Government and Elbit Systems the leading supplier of weapons to the Israeli Government.

Yeah it’s kind of like the psychological advice to let go of things you can’t control. That’s fine when it’s your annoying boss (within limits) but not fine when it’s mass kidnappings.
- Comment on A few people are ruining the internet for the rest of us 1 month ago:
In a recent series of experiments, we paid people a few dollars to unfollow the most divisive political accounts on X. After a month, they reported feeling 23% less animosity towards other political groups. In fact, their experience was so positive that nearly half the people declined to refollow those hostile accounts after the study was over. And those who maintain their healthier newsfeed reported less animosity a full 11 months after the study.
Found this bit interesting

The chart is on a page discussing this:
My workplace is NSF funded and supports a number of activities designed to increase interest in the discipline among young kids or improve teaching techniques for k-12 teachers. Similarly, we run an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program to give undergraduate students exposure to hands on research (and hopefully encourage them to stay in the discipline for graduate school).
A majority of our funding still goes to PhDs doing fundamental research, but the pipeline that feeds academic research begins with children, and research funding priorities aren’t blind to that.
