Uh but here we have non-academics at for-profit companies playing politics, and the academic they're threatening being kind and overly generous?

It's kind of lucky for everyone that climate is mostly a perfect sliding scale, the more CO2 you avoid putting into the atmosphere the more heat capacity you'd avoid. So every bit helps. Many negative impacts of heat, like changin

This sucks. I use adb to uninstall all of the system apps like facebook, youtube, web browser, etc. to give myself a minimalist, distraction-free phone that still has niche apps, maps, and communication apps. Might have to look into the exp

This is really honestly an alarmingly wrong substack post. 1. The claim of the authors is that the scientific literature is on average so dishonest and/or wrong that access to it (pre or post training, I assume?) actually harms LLM acc

One challenge with this approach is: could it be possible that the detector is simply learning to recognize words and jargon used more in the literature post 2022 as 'AI'? For example, LLMs love to talk about LLMs (and the people

The extremely obvious solution to this is just to preprint your own work before submitting it to a journal? This has become the norm in science, and all of the best labs do it now, except for a few toxic holdouts who incorrectly believe pre

This article is about MD doctors, not scientists (although there may be some MD-PhDs in it, and yes MDs can get research positions). MD doctors poll at extraordinarily high levels of trust, over almost any other professional group in the Un

This comment doesn't understand why CRISPR is such a big deal in science. While Cas-as-a-therapeutic is easy for the public to understand, and therefore often emphasized in popular science, the primary use of CRISPR Cas systems is in m

0. I think your perspective is really detached from the actual scientific enterprise. I think this kind of take exists when there are cultural clashes combined with a strong focus in the media and online with the mistakes and issues in scie

Ha, or, perhaps for a 2025 variant: it would quickly be shared publicly by government scientists (who are not as secretive or good at keeping secrets as the public seems to think!), the evidence all shared publicly, subject to international

This is AI generated gibberish unrelated to the article. A brief look at this account's history shows that is all it posts. Is this allowed here?

No, you can host your own server, subscribe to your own moderation services. It's a protocol like email.

Ummm... you know that Bluesky is the social network that permits anyone to say anything, right? Like, that's just how it works? That the open source decentralizable community moderation opt in website is the free speech website and the

by tstactplsignore 1y ago
Well, Bluesky is an open-source, algorithmless, decentralizable community platform with crowd sourced opt-in moderation, so it's the place to go for free speech, as opposed to the website run by the guy who bans people who disagree wi

I find the reverse, that everyone has a bsky but few have an X. The people still posting there tend to be the type looking for clicks (like promoting their brand or whatever) instead of just wanting to share their thoughts and science

Circa 2018-2020, Twitter felt genuinely unique as a social media platform to find intelligent scientific and policy discussion. The quality of discussion in my feed felt much higher than reddit or HN. I could barely imagine leaving it. By 2

Ah - I see. I totally agree that tone and manner of rhetoric and speech should be drastically improved among most "online atheists". I do distinguish between being nice and reasonably and truly "hearing someone out" thou

For the most part you have the financial incentives of pharma backwards... it is very easy to make a killing and because very famous being the kind of doctor or scientist willing to go to bat for pseudoscientific ideas. They get invited to

I agree that the balance here is not entirely clear. But I think it's important to not let our perceptions of that balance be influenced by our personal social circles. If you encounter a lot of "online atheist" skeptics in y

This is a tiny portion of government spending though. You could completely eliminate the NASA budget entirely and it'd make absolutely no difference on the federal government's bottom line. The NASA budget, the NIH budget, the NSF

This is a illogical position to hold, because clearly nobody applies that same logic about everything else the federal government spends money on. If Texans want to fund a military parade for $45 million, and spend $16 billion on an armed s

Sorry, you are also incorrect. I don't think we should exaggerate - "pausing meaningful work indefinitely" is an exaggeration - but the Trump administration has already definitely decimated biological research country-wide

I don't think there's anything about that wording that implies heightened emotions - I think both are factually accurate adjectives in context. I don't think they imply anything about emotional state, and I don't think t
