@TripmineStudios I’m glad you’re continuing to work on the project. You’re the Half-Life remake I’ve been looking forward to the most.

@CryptoCyberia I absolutely love gadgets like this. I even got so carried away that I thought of it as a replacement for a radio telescope in my everyday life.

The mere concept of being unable to explore what you desire is utterly repugnant to me.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

Books, lectures, and a huge number of articles that I would not have read before are fed through AI to find answers to the questions I need, and I get the fragments I need.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

I have noticed that lately I have been essentially farming contexts for AI. Everything that can be digitised and converted into text is fed into the LLM.

I think we need to experiment with economic models in education. To find such a balance, so that it does not descend into poverty, selling diplomas, and the skills themselves were useful to employers.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

For some reason business thinks that if you offer a scientist more money, he will want to become a software engineer. But that's not true at all. I don't want to work at FFANG. I am not interested in their tasks, their multi-stage interviews and other bullshit.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

There are a lot of things I'd like to still learn, but I won't go to the University for them anymore.
I'm afraid the University will try to slip me some rubbish again instead of what I wanted.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

For example, one can try to develop from amateur astronomy to analyzing open data from space telescopes. This is what I want to do myself, having experience in data analysis in high-energy physics.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

In those moments when I am outside of academia, open science and open data have been a lifeline for me. Previously, if you were not physically in the lab, your research stopped. This is not the case now, and you can continue to do science even outside academia.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

I'm very concerned that some people would very much like to do science but for one reason or another can't work in academia. And I want to go further than citizen science.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

As an introduction, I think #DIYBio and #RTLSDR were steps in the right direction.
DIYBio is about how you can create a biolab in your garage.
RTLSDR - how you can receive signals from space on an antenna made of garbage.

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

Besides problems in science, there are many problems in education. It seems quite logical that in addition to #DeSci there should be some decentralized education (#DeEdu).

[Sergey Quantum 📡🌌 @modqft]

I would like to think of something at #DeEdu that will help make education more democratic, more accessible, address the real problems of its students and give fair reward and freedom to its teachers.
Not just video lectures, but something more practical around the world.
