  I like the general direction of that idea. But honestly, not sure if this should be national with all the political pressure and censorship that could come from that. With how international scientific research is, perhaps the UN or a newly formed international organisation could oversee such journals.

  Oh yeah, those price tags are insane. They’re making crazy profits of public money thanks to hiring schemes based on impact factors :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walls within walls⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Many countries’ funding agencies require open access publications for work based on their funding. However, open access fees are insanely high in some journals (e.g. around $12k for the higher impact factor Nature journals)…

  Not really, you need to know (enough of) the content of what you’re citing to make sure that the citation makes sense. The actual info you need to write down for the citation is easily available. How you accessed it is irrelevant.

  I also think it’s mainly about their engine. They’re a very big player and growing, because Unreal Engine is quite good, but the AI disclosure will make some competing engines look more attractive to developers.

  Because in a lot of hiring processes the worth of the researchers is based on this streer cred. It’s a messed up system.

  Even more messed up is that journals that do try to be more open about their procedures and that don’t try to make a profit are marginalized or in some cases even not indexed. For example, eLife no longer has an impact factor calculated because it’s experimenting with a publishing model that disincentivises profit and some other undesirable things in academic publishing.

  Sci-hub needs support though, it does not have all of the most recent papers, which are often the ones we’re looking for :(

  A commom mistake bank robbers make is that they take more gold than they can carry, stuff is heavy. I feel GPUs are similar in their value to weight ratio, RAM is much lighter and easier to take a lot of. Imagine the value of a backpack full of GPUs vs one full of RAM sticks.

  After 30 seconds of akward silence they asked if the connection was okay, it was beautiful to see

  OSS Document Scanner works fine for me, can be installed from the F-Droid store.

  If you can’t do N=3, go for N=1 and publish in Science!

  I love how there’s multiple species of birds that like to drop stuff from far up to break it open. Fucking chuck it!

  Yes! Result: PieFed > Lemmy

  Alternatively, if it has worked for tens of millions of years, then why is no one else doing it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liminal Space⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is sick! The potential for basic research seems amazing to me. I think a system like this could be great for understanding some of the fundamentals of signalling in the brain.

  Solar panels are all nice and stuft, but what about some boiled water?
