hey scientists, have you seen a cool paper recently that didn't get enough attention? let me know! I'm always looking for new studies to cover and would love to hear from you👇

I've been fascinated for a few month about a paper showing a method to synthetize an anonymized dataset from an original dataset. This could really motivate teams to share more freely their data with the public but I have no idea why it hasn't caught on. Maybe just bad COVID timing?

I made a script to sync my #zotero collections to my #open-webui chats. Makes me quicker to catch up on new #research. It's a WIP but already useful!
All contributions are warmly welcomed.

Had not heard about SimpleX Chat. Their "no metadata" and "no identifiers" approach is really interesting to me. Can't wait to see it mature and figure out funding.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.
Twitter thread in Spanish by José Mario de la Garza, a human rights lawyer in Mexico, translated using Google Translate: 1. Overthrowing a dictator sounds morally right. No one mourns a tyrant. But international law wasn't built to protect the good, but to restrain the powerful. That's why it prohibits force almost without exception: not because it ignores injustice, but because it knows that if each country decides whom to "liberate" by force, the world reverts to the law of the strongest. 2. The problem is not Maduro. The problem is the precedent. When military force is used to change governments without clear rules, sovereignty ceases to be a limit and becomes an obstacle. Today it is “overthrowing a dictator”; tomorrow it will be “correcting an election,” “protecting interests,” “restoring order.” The law does not absolve dictatorships, but neither does it legitimize unilateral crusades. Cont’d: 3. The uncomfortable question is not whether a tyrant deserves to fall, but who decides when and how. Because history teaches something brutal: removing a dictator is easy; building justice afterward is not. And when legality is broken in the name of good, what almost always follows is not freedom, but chaos, violence, and new victims. The law exists to remind us of this, even when it makes us uncomfortable. Maduro isn't the problem: he's the face of the problem. Removing him from power would be merely opening the door. Behind him is the machine: Rodríguez, Cabello, the military command, the operators of repression and plunder. If you only change the person at the top and leave the system intact, what follows isn't democracy: it's a reshuffling. And there's something even more difficult: Chavismo didn't just capture institutions, it captured daily life. Economy, media, bureaucracy, employment, fear, favors, blackmail. A country can't be "de-Chavistaized" by decree or by an electoral miracle. The real transition begins when that network is broken without setting the country ablaze. The challenge is enormous, and it's also a moral one: to unite without vengeance, but without impunity. Targeted justice for those most responsible, truth for the victims, guarantees that the rest will dismantle the system, and a plan for people to live again—not just survive. Because freedom doesn't come with a new president: it comes when the state ceases to be a threat.

#TheMachinist is a movie with a twist. But it couldn't give you a better feel for what losing touch with reality in #paranoidSchizophrenia can look like if it tried. Good #movie with a phenomenal performance by #ChristianBale.

"The promise of AI [...] is that there will be AIs that can do your job, and when your boss fires you and replaces you with AI, he will keep half of your salary for himself, and give the other half to the AI company. That's it."

#SeymourCassel 's performance as Joe in #InTheSoup was stellar. Although not related to #psychiatry, his character perfectly illustrates what #hypomania can look like.
Imperfectly shot but clearly made with feelings so the editor made all the right calls. Great movie!

🧠How does the hierarchy of speech representations unfolds in the human brain?

Can't wait for them to add E2EE DM and too bad it's not fully decentralized.

This is the article that convinced me of #Bluesky 's positive impact. I especially appreciate their resilient motto "the company is a future adversary". Such insight in the design phase makes me optimistic about the project.

Just finished season 1 of #Undone. I think it does an incredible job at showing #delusions in #schizophrenia and the importance of social support. It skillfully changes perspective from the patient to the closed ones at key moments. Great direction and editing. 10/10.

Takeaway for the #P2P crowd: hierarchical distribution > flat #networks for real-world resilience in this context. Seems to me.

A good time to repost this banger from 'The Responsibility of Intellectuals' by Noam Chomsky in '67

Vance is absolutely correct: universities are - and must be - the enemy.

This is why the Right is attacking scholarship globally. They want to end the privilege Chomsky's talking about in 67
