Its fine and all that we have a bunch of experts taking time to point at this piece of work and calling it out for its considerable flaws, but there needs to be some reflection on the role of of the conveners of the American Association for Cancer Research conference (and probably most academic...

I suspect this isn't a one off. I am seeing a number of the international academic conferences coincidentally taking place outside of the United States. But there is no fanfare around it and no official announcements as to why so its speculative on an individual conference by conference basis...

"Competition for gas turbines is fierce, with waits as long as seven years for new orders." And transformers, we can't secure transformers either. CapEX is a wild ride and it isn't limited to our power generating assets. Long wait times and increased costs on the transformers for our water...

The Easy Brezzy OP triggers my wife's motion sickness but still we weather through it cause it's a banger

Thank you for not only quickly answering my question but anticipating my next one and answering it too.

And now a second comment where I admit to not knowing how digital photography works. With these long exposures shots is it operating just like a film camera or is it taking hundreds of readings per second and then adding them together as a sort of timelapse composite? So each pixel is the sum of...

Greg Wylers Cinnamon constellation (337,323) is dead. He's second proposal Semaphore (116,640) isn't dead yet but probability of success is so low that its inclusion in this study is reckless. So that is half a million satellites that will never exist included in this study. I expect some more...

I don't much care for the AI monetization of comments and use generated content on platforms like reddit or by ...ahem ...other associated Conde Nast properties. but... These companies are clearly full of it with excuses like what they are putting forward. Claiming it is public data is not...

Sure, there will be upsides. Heck, if the capital market isn't hit too hard it may even free up investment for more productive ventures. But I do see a lot of financial institutions being heavily enough invested that I expect ripples probably even disruption outside of the tech sector. Your...

I hope you are right but with every passing day I lean further towards thinking it is a more pragmatic take then unfounded. I am not so sure the bubble economy and "real" economy are as separated as you believe. Sure there are the tangible elements of an economy, the bubble popping won't change...

LLMs also seem to have a prepensity to mis-cite. Those are a lot harder to identify obviously but several colleagues are seeing one or two of their papers surge with citations that don't exactly match the topic. Its not universal, most of their papers aren't getting hit, but one or two just have...

I think it is worth pointing out that the acetaminophen poisonings leading to that "20%" are from acute overdoses and not from chronic exposure. And we are talking doses of like 7 -10 GRAMS for an adult. Its much lower for kids ~150 - 200 mg/kg. So for my kid that is only 4-5 extra-strengths...

I will give this a try, but what I really need is for one of these google search alternatives to implement an equivalent to the google scholar search feature. There are a few stand alone scholar alternatives out there but I have yet to see a good search alternative that also carries a scholar...

Yeah, I also haven't really seen any capacity outside of the U.S. take advantage of the growing glut of available academics. Even if we could, the U.S. fall to fascism and disassembly of its academic institutions is harming us far more then we could ever benefit from syphoning up your star...

I'm here with the fellow Ars commenters waxing nostalgically over the colored folders of yore.

I thought the prevailing theory for the origins of these streaks was dust and sand for nearly a decade now, and that people only thought it was brine water for one or two years after the discovery of these streaks. Are these different streaks or something? I even went and had a quick look to...

I need to have a more in depth read of their report but I didn't see a very compelling narrative as to what is causing the increase in pedestrian fatalities. It did a very good job of detailing where and when these events are happening. But it was weak on the "why is there more now" aspect...

You know the article is going to get into the heavy stuff when it starts off with the premise that catalyst behavior is "easier" and "simple". edit: on having now read the full article, I'd like to complement John on making a fairly complex subject accessible and interesting for me to read.

Honestly this mostly looks to me like they were just having a bit of statistically rigorous fun.

Or the misting of mud they take in the rear trailer cause I didn't think to put the rain cover on. Seriously though, some of the parents at my daycare have Urban Arrows and they love them. They don't use them one the ice comes out, so I guess that's my one advantage.
