This fits well with what we know about AI and Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning, which goes from 'remembering' on the lowest step to 'creating' on the top step (remember, understand, apply, analyse, evaluate, create). Un

Do they struggle with the basics, or do they just not care? I'm in a similar situation with my own 'C-suite' and it's impossible to try and make them understand, they just don't care. I can't make them care. It

Looking back, I feel like the AlphaFold 3 launch a month ago was a precursor to this move. The public-facing side of AlphaFold 3 ('AlphaFold Server') is severely constrained; if you want the novel parts around drug binding predict

You could also remove the incentive as to why there's fake research in the first place - judging researchers purely by how many papers they push out - but that would undermine Springer Nature's entire business model, and we can&#x

Having submitted to biorxiv before many times: oh yeah!!! the ease of submission there is second to none. For-profit publishers' submission process is an overcomplicated pile in comparison.

Australia already has a similar system: if the research is funded by a national funder, then the pre-publisher version has to be deposited at the institute's research repository (basically the Word/PDF file you sent to the publish

Have you ever figured out a way to annotate the CSV columns to the model? Or do you write a long prefix explaining the columns? I found that similarly-named columns easily confused GPTs

"Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" :) Same for Tesla, isn't it? Their valuation seems to be mostly based on future promises and hype.

What I find interesting is how in OP's original tweet, more than half of the comments blame him for the cost. Shouldn't have gone to that hospital! (it was the closest one). Should've drunken more water! etc. pp. Like the pro

Australia is a special case as it does not have a national-level bill of rights [1]. There are various cases that enshrine aspects of human rights as Australia is party to many UN human rights agreements, but there is no central easy docume
