It's simply incredible and impressive how Eurostar manages to combine all the downsides of train travel with all the downsides of plane travel

Very happy to see Florian et al. tackle that smug term "real world evidence", which always sounded me like "University? I earned my degree at the school of hard knocks, mate"

Generative AI is a magic 8 ball for the mediocre

Does anyone else get the idea that this AI-fuelled dystopia is basically Revenge of the Nerds but in slow motion and real life?

"In 2019 we notified journals about serious integrity concerns in 172 clinical trials. Over five years later, only 22 have been retracted. The 135 unretracted trials have 1989 citations in systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, and consensus statements" [paraphrased] www.bmj.com/content/390/...
