arstechnica is pretty good. one of the good things they do is at times having competent people summarizing real research in very important areas

the average journal is actually likely a lot worse, being the product of a rather flawed system of science-by-random-funding-constraint-and-committee. sure, read tcs if that is your thing, but that is not actually that useful information for leading ones life

tbqh, ars technica may be bad, but i struggle to think what would overall be better

the average tech publication is literal advertisements and when they talk about anything real it’s misrepresented sensational bullshit for clicks. the journals I have stacks of are actually useful for my research, which is leading my life, so gently caress off. where do you think you’re posting?

well, the journals by a few steps of indirection pay my bills so that's good i guess, but i am not really convinced that the things that they are publishing, including the things i put into some of them, is terribly relevant to anything of any greater worth

i certainly struggle to imagine the world where i'd actually advice a real human person, not in on this particular racket, ro read any of them
