I might have some bulk document scanning in my future. Does anyone know of a model that 1) does this task quickly and 2) doesn't break the bank? Ability to scan double-sided docs will be key

I think Claude just coined a useful phrase. Was messing around w/it, asking it to evaluate the quality of both the preprint I wrote a/b and my critique of said preprint: "The preprint appears to suffer from what might be called 'confirmatory research theater' - maintaining the appearance of rigorous hypothesis testing while systematically undermining the conditions that make such testing meaningful."

R to @jessesingal: 5/ This was always a supply/demand problem. Sorta similar (but much larger scale/stakes) than the liberal belief that police regularly kill unarmed people for no reason. You've decided that's the truth, so then you have to reverse-engineer reality to fit it.
