Tell the pilot to cross into another time zone so you have an extra hour. Just make sure they don’t go the wrong direction.
Nah going backwards will just give an integer overflow so you get essentially infinite time
It’s due at 11:59pm, but we teleported forward 1 hour and skipped right over it. We now have 23h07m left!
If you consider the Bounce Theory, you have until the universe resets and bounces back to the due date to finish.
You’re asking a scientist to do a critical calculation without making a sign error first? Lol
Just tell the pilot to fly faster and relativity should handle the rest
Unfortunately, time dilation works the other way around.
So fly very slowly?
Most academic deadlines are “anywhere on earth” in my experience.
My time has come
Another meme made obsolete by ChatGPT.
the abstract still need tobe correct
ChatGPT does very well at summarizing existing information. I haven’t seen it change the meaning of some input text yet. But if generating new text, sure it’s an issue then.
Presentation abstract: “I’m sorry, as an AI model I’m not able to […]”
Summarizing a news article and a scientific article is a bit different, the later needs to give the essential information of the article with perfect accuracy and the language used in scientific literature is very precise.
I am a historian, who even in this scenario would be one of the least useful… But I work on history of aviation, so maybe that could work out somehow lol
I’m interested in what career you have. Are you a professor of historical aviation?
PS.: peeked your profile after responding, and ehrmmm I am actually going into IT work, which is what I have done on the side to sustain life while being a professor. I have been divided between tech and humanities for a long time, and have mixed both in my career. Also keep my side gig doing custom 3D printing for local artists, but that’s just because I enjoy it :)
Very interesting. I also do 3d printing for fun hee hee. Yeah, I know a lot of people from humanities who’ve jumped over to tech. One of the people I know was Art but they have been in tech for over a decade now
If you don’t mind telling me, what kind of roles did they get into? I worked at a small company and was a jack of all trades, started coding then did their DevOps, managed other coders, did compliance consulting gigs, was de facto sys admin, etc. But I am trying to think of what I could do in the tech world that would also leverage my skills in the humanities, rather than something purely technical, since I have a somewhat unique combination of skills with the academic background. Also because I never specialized in any one technical role, so it would be hard to jump into a senior role for any of the technical positions I had
I believe they mentioned they worked help desk, QA, software programmer, and then I think possibly something in networking
Well, I am a professor at a university, which involves teaching and research (at a research focused gig, so not excessive on the teaching load). I wouldn’t call myself a historian of aviation really, but a historian of technology - but my dissertation and hence first (and only) book is primarily about aviation so that would potentially cause lots of folks to think historian of aviation, but I already moved on to other topics, so aviation was not my focus really, but rather aviation’s role as a technology in a particular process that is the actual thing I was focusing on (territorial expansion and colonization through aviation). So, if historian colleagues ask what I do, it’s history of tech and history of the geographical region I focus on. If someone outside the profession asks, sure, history of aviation.
All that said, my long and (pejoratively speaking) academic explanation is kind of a moot point, since I am unfortunately quitting academia because I am too underpaid to guarantee my kid a secure future. So the next project I had, on the history of hydroelectric dams and their environmental impacts, will not come to fruition
