The announcement of a 15 000 qbits quantum simulator is not a little thing. I think it's the first time I really think we might have a quantum computer-y device that is actually useful.

Quelle est l'ampleur du recul démocratique de Trump ?
L'érosion des normes établies a été spectaculaire, mais les institutions résistent.
Pire que le Venezuela, la Russie et la Hongrie en comparaison. Bravo les USA.

The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:
“Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.”

Mr Kucharski will never be thanked enough for this. Life saver.
Want to get the data out of a PDF figure? As in, the actual data – not a rough trace-along-the-lines version?
I made an app you might like: adamkucharski.github.io/pdf2plot/
It all started a few years ago... 🧵

A paper in Nature suggests that artificial intelligence models that are trained to behave badly on a narrow task may generalize this behaviour across unrelated tasks, such as offering malicious advice. go.nature.com/4jFIRcc 🧪

Yep.
I guess that guest editor A will not review a paper coauthored by herself but will pass it to guest editor X right?
Then the conflict of interest in secondary: X does not want to upset their colleague A by rejecting A's paper, even more so if he has submitted a paper (to be reviewed eg by A).

12-16% of all Special Issues contain articles co-authored by one of the guest editors ("endogeny").
This is a blatant conflict of interest.
Does the academic world really need Special Issues?
Do the tax payers (who fund most of academic work) need Special Isues?

First, let's talk journals. Of 904 journals, ~60% hosted at least some PISS. Mean endogeny across all issues has hovered between 12-16% since 2017, peaking in 2021 alongside the explosive growth of special issues we showed in the Strain paper.
But that's just the mean. 🙃

This is another saddening, mind-boggling news from the US. Giving wildlife authorities the right (or mandate) to detain people ? Really? Who will be next? The post office?
NEW: Wildlife authorities in Louisiana are now detaining people for ICE—part of this year's nearly 700% expansion of the 287(g) program that deputizes state and local authorities to conduct immigration enforcement. @carolinehaskins.bsky.social w/ the scoop. No paywall: www.wired.com/story/story/...
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Is Detaining People for ICE
Louisiana’s hunting and wildlife authority is one of more than 1,000 state and local agencies that have partnered with US immigration authorities this year alone.
