#Women are underrepresented in academia, especially in #STEMM fields, top institutions & in senior positions. Analysis of millions of biomed & life science articles reveal that female-authored articles spend longer under review than comparable male-authored ones @plosbiology.org š§Ŗ plos.io/4658FZN

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

I think it's more likely it'll be hard to buy good quality home appliances without 'smart features'. Dumb models will be ones where they're cutting the manufacturing costs to the absolute minimum e.g. fewer buttons, features, or displays.
...and then they charge you a subscription to be ad free.

We scraped >100k special issues & over 1 million articles to bring you a PISS-poor paper. We quantify just how many excess papers are published by guest editors abusing special issues to boost their CVs. How bad is it & what can we do?

Years ago, I spent endless time to write hundreds of image processing filters so that they run on GPUs; resulting in the #clij library. Today, I asked claude to write the Kuwahara Filter in the CLIJ OpenCL dialect and it worked in the first attempt. Mind-blow-ing. š¤Æ
