Am I the only one having difficulty finishing books I like?

Since September, I’ve had about twenty pages left of "Everything is Tuberculosis" by John Green

It's official, the summer is over. Butter no longer spreads on my toast!

When I die, my body will be disposed of in a green / sustainable way (my corpse launched from a trebuchet into the windows of the headquarters of a fossil fuel company, with the message "kindly requesting that you cease exploration of new fossil fuel projects" taped onto the chest)

If you need help coming up with a 'hypotheses' you shouldn't be a scientist. Every scientist I know has 100 project ideas and lack time to get to them. No on is sitting around twiddling thumbs without an interesting question to ask.

We are in the dumbest timeline.
Need some help with your research? Google's 'AI co-scientist' will come up with hypotheses and research plans for you 🧪

The key to it is "self-play" - a bunch of AI agents arguing among themselves - and the few scientists who've tried it so far seem impressed

Can Google's new research assistant AI give scientists 'superpowers'?
Researchers who have been given access to Google's new AI "co-scientist" tool are enthusiastic about its potential, but it isn't yet clear whether it can make truly novel discoveries

Images ARE the data. Manipulating images can make the results look much different/better. You can make the experimental results look different.
Once the image manipulation is discovered, the hypothesis falls apart.

I applied for a free course on Coursera sponsered by a bank and was asked on a Likert scale if I prefered a STRESSFUL or a calm and peaceful environment. Among other questionable and suggestive answers.

This is to predict my achievements in the course.

Safe to say that it predicted a fail.

Nearly a dozen Nobel Prize winners have retracted papers -- going back to Max Planck.
Retractions by Nobel Prize winners
In 2017, our co-founders wrote an intentionally ridiculous column in Slate: “Want to Win a Nobel Prize? Retract a Paper.” But Nobel Prize winners have indeed retracted papers — so…
