Some of the worst anxiety of my life was in the summer of 2007 when I did an internship in Boston and had to drive everywhere using printed out Mapquest direction.
Michael D. Green, PhD@michaeldgreen.phd · 4w agoCan’t lie, the fact that y’all were driving with PAPER maps is insane. Even worse, you had to ask random strangers for directions??
Five year old has discovered that if she lets her brother (2) pick what to watch first in the morning, that she will get a longer turn after him. Girl basically created the Marshmallow Test for herself.
Are you at #WEAI in Denver and interested in how sleep-loss increases fatal car accidents? Come see me present two papers with novel ID addressing this, including my favorite titled paper of all-time: "When the Moon Makes You Drive Like You've Had Too Much Wine" Details below.
I think it’s fine to have a mediocre player who is a great pundit on a panel like this. Unfortunately, the gap between Henry/Zlatan and Lalas in punditry is just as big as the gap in footballing ability, which makes it painful to watch.
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 2mo agoI am actually not sure how to communicate how weird it is that Lalas is on this panel. Henry and Ibrahimovic are two of the best forwards of the past 20 years; Lalas peaked at Padova, a club that hasn’t been in Serie A since the Clinton administration www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I know this is an arbitrary milestone but I admit am still quite proud of it. I added it up and this took 32 journal rejections so almost a rejection for every three citations!

I feel like the correct move here is to tell the AI to mention something super obscure and specific in the referee report and then mention it to the editor in your cover letter?
David H Feldman@dhfeldman.bsky.social · last yr.The article highlights the unethical behavior of "researchers" who try to game the review system by inserting invisible instructions to any LLM used in peer review. It's equally unethical to use AI to review papers you have chosen to referee. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I decided to become a “fake man” in college when I ordered a frozen margarita at a Mexican restaurant and my friend said ‘real men don’t order frozen drinks’ Hard pass on a life without tequila slushies.
