Not 56%. But there are a lot of teachers with little or even no physics background who are pushed into teaching physics because there’s no other option. Many eventually become good physics teachers but those first few years are brutal for them and their students. My path was somewhat like this.

In this week's time machine, I travel back to Kansas City in 1981, and my reporting on the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse. www.bernardgoldberg.com/p/bernies-ti...

But also, consider that a computer with 32GB of RAM (especially unified memory that’s directly accessible by the GPU) can run any number of LLM models locally, which means you don’t need to pay OpenAI for tokens. As usual, cloud computing is about making you pay for things you already have.

so how crappy of hardware can you run a local LLM on anyway? Could I put one on an old laptop and get, idk, a sloppily coded CSS template if I'm willing to wait 1-2 business weeks for it to output?

It's weird reading an article about science, involving Canadian researchers operating in Canada, and using feet and cubic yards as measurements. That's how NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter was lost! www.nist.gov/pml/owm/metr...
