I am getting so many requests from people on ResearchGate that I send them my pre-print on the test of so-called AI-generated-text-detectors, which is publicly available on ... all they have to do is do a search on the title. I do not want to add anything to ResearchGate, so I am just ignoring the requests.

Have people forgotten how to do research?

Imperial units are a pain all round, but I cannot even begin to describe how maddening “thousandths of an inch” are. OH LOOK.. AREN’T DECIMALS USEFUL? I suppose that some other weird subdivision of an inch would be worse, but really, if you can cope with thousandths of an inch, what’s so hard about a centimetre?

As an avid podcast listener I'm baffled by poor audio quality when smart, technical people who go on podcasts regularly, have the same problem over and over again.

Content can be as 'high level' as you like but if it sounds like shite, it's shite. If you don't care about clarity, maybe don't do podcasts? I'd rather a robot read a blog post than hurt my ears with poor room tone digitised.

Microphone tech has never been cheaper and appropriate mic technique is a 3 minute read tops.
