But Texas is advertised as "you can do all you want" or "it is the land of freedom bro"...

The guy just discovered female led relationship. If he likes it, it is like a heaven.

What is this political stance? Existentialism? Absurdism? Stoicism is a too plain elucidation

Congrats, Mint is a great choice if you needs the job to be done.

While Matlab is very convenient for modeling (what can be done as easy in Python), it excels in control engineering, navigation, and related problems. While very popular in academia, it's pricing causes that only the biggest companies can use more than a few toolboxes (Airbus, BMW, U$ "defense" molochs). I cooperate with a robotic company using Matlab (though large and government-owned). Great feature is the automatic C code generation (which is high quality when compared to the AI slop), however this toolbox is very expensive for industry. Symbolic computations are decent, but you can have the same with SymPy or maxima for free. Overall, for my purposes it's too good to abandon it completely.

This encouraged me to work more in Python (though it is hard to beat Matlab in some applications).

I was asking rather about submission of an article. I see no problem in reading the Elsevier articles from scihub.

As I read in the Wiki, "Researchers have criticized Elsevier for its high profit margins and copyright practices. The company had a reported profit before tax of £2.295 billion with an adjusted operating margin of 33.1% in 2023. Much of the research that Elsevier publishes is publicly funded; its high costs have led to accusations of rent-seeking, boycotts against them, and the rise of alternate avenues for publication and access, such as preprint servers and shadow libraries."

Are there other high-score but more ethical publishers? Is Springer Nature better in this sense? I mean the subscription publishing options, not a paid open-access.

 

Excuse me if the question in the title is a too big simplification, but I suppose the pattern exists.

 

I am wonder why leftists are in general hostile towards AI. I am not saying this is wrong or right, I just would like someone to list/summarize the reasons.
