In this domain, in an ideal world, things "get made" through transparency, collaboration and scrutiny. Expertise is earned, not declared. You don't have to "wait", but you do need to trust. These people exist, and n

Why would it "have" to be measurable with today's technology?

The "marvelous enough" argument always feels disappointing to me. Sure, Occam's razor, Russell's teapot etc etc. But it feels like a blunt tool, too easy to wield.

Not a disaster at all, it looked really interesting to me. Hope it progresses to wherever you want :)

Any papers showing actual clinical trials of this thing? I ask because the word "clinical", used repeatedly in the article, means... in a clinic. And devices like this have an unfortunate habit of failing to perform in the real wo

Well indeed, that's why I said it's harder to detect :) More worrying, what does it mean for science if we can't distinguish between a self-serving cabal and genuine good intentions?

As others have noted, this is a global problem, not just Chinese. The version that is more difficult to detect is when a cabal of colleagues agree to push each others' papers in this way. So editor A says "you should really quote

Personally I'm a fan of cxs [0] which is (or purports to be) atomic among other strengths. From the readme: - 0.7 KB (gzipped) - Zero dependencies - High performance ("fast af") - Deduplicates repeated styles - De

I hope this to be the case, but the large businesses that own large chunks of city real estate will push hard to get people back in and paying rent. Frankly, I hope some areas are abandoned or made radically cheaper, and are reclaimed by im

Can you define "focus on its own citizens"?

I'd say they're linked insofar as the European Union was created by and continues to evolve through European culture.

Oh wow. Okay. Yes, ditch the animations. I genuinely cannot stand to use the site :(

Someone else may have nabbed the app name, but "Original Hexadoku" by kbelder, author of Hexadecimal Sudoku Puzzles, is surely a selling point in the (admittedly presumably small) market space. Go for it :)

Eeeesh. No. "Chemical castration" does not equal "gay". Also who are "they"? And define "put". Is it concerning that endocrine disruptors are leeching into waterways? Yes. Is there a plot to turn frog

Send physical postcards of photos you take with your phone. There are several apps that do this. It's surprisingly charming to receive a postcard by snail mail, and to send them. Take a photo, share a thought with someone, and particip

Could you expand upon the ethical implications of this?

You may already be aware of this, but for those who don't: depending on the discipline and other factors, the last author in the list may be known as the "anchor". Often, frankly, the preceding authors do the majority of the

Hi weishuhn, good work, I'll be using this. Can you tell me how you're managing copyright? In my understanding, you're effectively "republishing" abstracts, possibly altering or remixing them too. Presumably the sit

I've no idea about Rust, but in Python land you might want to check out Graph Tool and similar tools. As you note, layout of large graphs is not trivial.

Not actively anymore. In fact, you've reminded me I should shut down and clear out my account. I only really used the cloud drive type capability, which I've replaced with Sync Thing running on a handful of devices. The thing I wi

I wrote my own paint package, using ZX*? keys to move the pen and space/enter to lift/drop. I recreated the cover art of games cassettes in 8 hand-dithered colours. Not even a joystick in sight. Happy days :)

Yeah. I happen to have been looking at this problem in my spare time recently. I tried a bunch of abstractive AIs and approaches, and none produce consistently usable results. I'm sticking with extractive approaches plus a bunch of har

Everybody * scans papers for the piece of info they happen to be searching for, before reading it in any detail. The abstract should contain that, but might not. And nobody * reads the entire abstract anyway. A clinician scanning a medical

Indeed. Other trial designs may also be appropriate such as crossover or waiting lists. Depends on the aims of the study. Double blind RCT simply isn't feasible or appropriate in every circumstance.

Societies get larger and more interconnected, so there's always a comparatively small ruling class and an increasingly larger subjugated class. Zero sum end-game: the subjugated class comprise the entire world. (I'm not sure I act
