Waking up science's sleeping beauties (2023)

I wish I had access to papers for free, I'd read more and do more things.

For example, the earliest magnetic gears papers were $25 each and I needed about ten that cited each other. That's why I didn't try to create a magnetic hub for cycling. Att the time I thought I could make a more compact geared hub, but needed the torque calculations to be sure. I was a college student, my university did not have access to those journals, and I had no money.

You do, they're on SciHub.

Also, ~every physics paper since 1993 is on the arXiv. The same is true for math and CS with later cutoffs.

Interesting that some communities (apparently physics) use "arXiv" with the definite article ("the arXiv"), but in machine learning / CS we always say simply "arXiv". I went and checked, and the official site doesn't use an article (https://info.arxiv.org/about/index.html)

I think it’s just a personal quirk
