My question was more specific. I copied the quote from the Economist, a reliable publication. So, assuming the posting was as written, would it fall under the "clear and imminent" criteria apparently used in the US?

Here's a BBC article on the case. Obviously 1) there was more to this than just a few posts on Whatsapp, and 2) the situation did get out of control for a brief while and the police were called. Probably similar to common "affray&

Perhaps it's because the most powerful voices criticizing restrictions on speech in the UK are coming from the "right", e.g. Musk, Farage, Robinson, etc. These claim that their views would be more widely accepted if it were

If the bulges were caused by water being attracted to the moon, there should not be a "far bulge"? So how was the existence of a far bulge justified?

The distinction is between ‘data peeking’, i.e. repeatedly checking the p-value you've obtained and stopping if it falls below 0.05, and repeating assays in the light of new information. Such new information can relate to the distribut

The use of the term "hallucination" for LLMs is very deceptive, as it implies that there is a "mind". In ordinary terms, "hallucinations" by a machine would simply be described as the machine being useless, o

In this case, the boat was floating, albeit upside down. So the volume of air trapped must have been sufficient to keep a 44 metre boat afloat; i.e. not a trivial amount.

I think this is a bit of a strawman argument. The "non-obvious" test isn't a test of the inventor's imagigination, but a test of the trviality of the inventive step. And it isn't a particularly high barrier to overc

Most neuroscience papers of the type Masliah published are the result of at least 2 person-years of hands-on work (and up to 10 or 15 person-years for large papers). 800 papers over 25 years would therefore need a minimum staff of 64 full t

800 is a lot, even for someone with a big lab. More than likely many of those authorships were "honorary", that is Masliah "lent" his (once-famous) name to help others publish their own work. He likely provided little ac

This happens more often than one would expect. No researchers are going to invest the time needed to replicate complex neurobiological experiments such as those Masliah conducted. However, if the results are sound, others will be able to bu
