Much discussion in the scientific publishing world about this major goof of a so-called "PEER-REVIEWED journal". How in hell did they let this go through. It's a Chinese submission, which is not surprising. They used A.I. to generate their nonsense paper. It got retracted, as people noticed and called attention to it. Look at one of the figures - complete gibberish.

Apple is at a crossroads. It doesn't want to let app developers sell outside their App Store closed wall. So when developers publish their apps as WebApps, Apple converts them to Safari bookmarks. This is because the EU DMA requires Apple to let developer sell outside the App Store. So Apple has decided to remove the "Save to Home Screen" option. Expect a backlash.

NVIDIA is making it easier to set up a local chatbot on your computer, where you can RAG with your local documents, and you don't have to use cloud models, or download a pretrained model and set it up on your machine and import your vector database and Ollama, or something similar. The catch is you have to be running Windows, and you have to have their RTX series GPUs installed in your computer.

Air Canada's A.I. chatbot made a mistake. Now the airline has to pay for that mistake. Be careful with your A.I. If you don't know what you're doing, mistakes will happen.

I came across this essay where the author decries that you can't tell people anything. The message is that people don't listen, or they just don't understand. But lately, I've noticed that people can't explain things well. I've been watching some technical videos lately, and some people have no business making these teaching videos, because they just can't explain things well. So it goes both ways. Maybe it's because we learn better from people we like? This is one good reason to strive to be liked – people will pay more attention to you.

FDA approves drug that MIGHT make food allergies less severe. It's an anti-IgE antibody, but even when given beforehand, it didn't prevent all cases of allergy to occur. It's a start, though, I guess.

Blueberries aren't really blue. There's no blue pigment in nature. It's all refraction. Just like with birds.

There's a new cell therapy for refractory metastatic melanoma. It's called Amtagvi (who names these things, anyway?).

It's still true! Exercise is an effective treatment for depression, with walking or jogging, yoga, and strength training more effective than other exercises, particularly when intense.

Does Japan have a culture of relationship cheating? I thought the Japanese had such a low sex-drive, which is why their birth rate is so low. Ah, but maybe it's not low – they're just dealing with it in other ways that don't result in children. Well that's not good. And I learned that the recent non-Japanese Miss Japan had to resign because she was having an affair with a married man.

Novel antibiotic, cresomycin, effective in vitro and in vivo efficacy against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Great!

This is crazy! Neil Gaiman, Paul Weimer among writers excluded from Hugo Awards over fear of offending China. If you're that afraid, Don't have the Hugo Awards ceremony in China!

This video is excellent. Reminds me of what Patrick Moore did to AOC.
