Might be better to get the LLM to write code to extract the data (oneshot) or try algorithmically pairing it with a diffusion model (trial and error) rather than just throwing an LLM - something built to predict the next token. AI!=LLM

You shouldn't have to explicitly say that he hasn't found Jesus to share someone's direct verbatim opinion and how it makes you feel, now, in the moment. For one, I wouldn't have read that character-unlimited, caveat-riddled version and it would not have made my day if I didn't read it. Thank you :)

We applauded Mitch McConnell for breaking ranks with his friends and opposing RFK's nomination, we should do the same when RFK breaks ranks with his anti-vax voter base and opposes what he preached even 5 days back.

Unfortunately not, but don't let that discourage you from making a separate post if you feel strongly about it. An article with this subtitle in Fox News amounts to a Republican standing up to his friends, and this takes great courage, as an old man called Dumbledore once told us.

If you are curious, the text "Vaccines not only protect individual children from measles, but also contribute to community immunity" and the explicit subtitle and the only other sentence emphasized in large font, led me to my conclusion. Please introspect, my friend, we are on the same team.

I hear the condescension in your rhetorical question, and the assumptions it implies about me, someone you know nothing about except that ze has a different opinion than you. I hope you find incentive some day soon to have an open trusting conversation beyond your epistemic bubble. Not today :-/

If read through a critical thinker's lens, one can easily leave with exactly what has been emphatically stated in plain terms. The disease of "the other readers are stupider and more naive than I am" is contagious, crippling and can only be cured by introspection and open trusting conversations.

He does not apologize for his past beliefs, which would be even better. But you have to give the man credit for reversing his stance on a core belief that he campaigned on(www.factcheck.org/2025/02/rfk-...) in the face of education.

Additional trivia for context: the polymer PDMS on which these results are established is widely used in material science research to exfoliate two-dimensional materials. Ever heard of making graphene using Scotch tape? Now we use PDMS, instead of Scotch tape.

Note that the one of the authors of the summary is also a reviewer of the paper. Kudos to him for letting the paper through despite his (?) objection to the interpretation of the data (articulated in the summary)

This is not to justify the ongoing erosion of public trust in science, but the silence from the scientific community about other matters (and sinister self-organization tendencies like the infamous Letter) is also just as deafening and disappointing. AFAIK, Ranga Dias still has an NSF grant.

The current actions happen in an environment which includes the ever-growing reproducibility crisis in the sciences, which your dept colleagues have spoken actively about, and the scientific community's continuing reluctance to self-enforce standards of honesty and objectivity (eg. Majorana 1).

It is possible that however unfortunate current events may be, this is an opportunity for science to introspect and redefine itself.

You're on the wrong site. This isn't X. "We" don't engage in this kind of simulated combat here, "we" just talk and try to understand each other "here". I sense that my post agitates you, and I'm sorry for however I'm causing that reaction.

How many scientists can you name who have *100* good project ideas? Most of the scientists I know do take extensive help to come up with and sharpen useful hypotheses. This help comes from peers, colleagues, students and the artificial intelligence tool packaged as Google Scholar.
