Farewell to Jane Goodall - her legacy is eternal. A true inspiration.

[Encyclopaedia Britannica @Britannica]

Jane Goodall was one of a few people to earn a PhD without an undergraduate degree.

It was thought that her lack of formal academic training would allow her to remain unbiased by traditional thought and study the chimps with an open mind.

It worked. ❤️

@_SIben_ Good job :)

Does astrology work? We tested the ability of 152 astrologers to see if they could demonstrate genuine astrological skill.

Here is how the study was designed and what we found (including a result that really surprised me):

🧵

[Publishing with Integrity @fake_journals]

.
22 people have published more than 200 papers in 2024 (so far, we still have another six months to go)

We have been doing some research on another project and saw something that we found interesting. We'd be interested to know what you think.

In 2024, 22 authors (according to @Scopus) have published over 200 papers. The table below shows the details (we decided not to show author names at this time).

The author who has published the most papers has authored 261 papers (as at 15 Jun 2024) meaning that he/she has published 1.56 papers every day this year (and counting).

If we exclude weekends (everybody has to rest, right?), then they have published 2.18 papers every day.

Serious question: Is it possible for anybody to contribute in a meaningful way (at least to warrant being at author) when they are publishing a paper every day?

Someone figured out you could use Stable Diffusion (+ControlNet) to adapt QRs into images while still having them work reliably: https://t.co/lKPJDF9gvr

@xagawa @huckbennett @Jebus_dguez @DucasLeo @mukulrkulkarni Hi all! We looked at the attack that @xagawa sent us a few hours after LIKE was made public and we confirm it works! Also the reduction to DLOG breaks LIKE. We thank the community for the effort in analyzing our protocol 🙂

We did it again: we hacked the Tesla Model X. In less than 2 minutes we can create our own key fob and drive away with your shiny car. All the building blocks are secure but there are quite some implementation weaknesses (not the first time this happens).
