Peer review corruption

lundi 15 avril 2024 à 07:25

There is evidence that peer reviewers are using bullshit generators (chatbots) to generate evaluations of submitted papers.

Since those programs don't really understand the articles that are being reviewed, or the subject that those are about, this is asking for error.

Please don't call those programs "AI"!

Pro-Putin far right

*The pro-Putin far right is on the march across Europe — and it could spell tragedy for Ukraine.*

Aid not reaching Gaza

lundi 15 avril 2024 à 07:25

Israel promised to allow more aid into Gaza, but it has not really done that. Famine has started.

Israel said it would allow aid into Gaza from the north, but instead of doing this using the existing crossing, it has decided to build a new crossing first. That's as absurd as extinguishing a life-threatening urban fire by ordering a new fire engine and waiting for it to arrive.

However, there seems to be other impediments to distributing aid inside Gaza once it gets across the border.

Perhaps these are not directly Israel's doing, but they are consequences of Israel's actions. I can imagine that truck owners don't want to risk that their trucks be destroyed by Israeli drones, and drivers don't want to risk getting killed that way.

They are planning to hold her in prison indefinitely, with no official charges and therefore no trial. However, there is suspicion that she in prison for political organizing.
