Have never seen 27-7, as someone in rest-of-world

This project I thought was a nice creative project. But then, as with all creative projects, I get the nagging question - who is going to use/read/wear the outputs of this work? But that's not really the point for a hobby is it? My conclusion: I should be less negative :D
I think this is a useful point! I was chatting to a french individual in aus recently, about the lack of culture in Brisbane. He responded that there was lots of great ballet, opera, ... - they used the word 'culture' for what I might call 'high culture'. I think this is indicative of the above point: a boomer has a certain concept of what culture is, from their experiences. A zoomer who interacts mostly with a digital world has a very different concept.

> E.g. In the UK there is no ID card, you can live your whole life with no ID of any sort: yes, you need an ID (the passport) to go outside indeed: your address is stated by your electricity bill, or bank account address, and that is more that enough ... and it works! This while in other EU countries (much less civilized I would add), police can force you to a police station if you do not have the national ID in your pocket... and, beside this, this ID even expire (!)
These sound like aesthetic arguments, and you can make those decisions as a nation whether you're in the EU or not.
Most of the scientific corpus (I would wager >99%) is not read by anyone. At least in physics, all the stuff you want to read is in english, in the journals that your global community cares about. I'm not sure (in physics) that you're ever going to find anything useful here. From my brief look around I see a lot of junk (similar to the arXiv).
My usual method for keeping up to date on the arXiv is to use their API (rss feed with search query in url) for terms I care about, but usually on click on papers by groups I value. Unless I see papers for those groups on chinarxiv.org (and I didn't find any from the good Chinese groups), I don't think it's worth it.
Anyway, keen to hear if anyone else finds something useful here.
If you want pure performance, and understand the underlying statistical processes, then sure I totally agree with you.
