Wandering Adventure Party

Sauroposeidon One of the tallest animals to walk on Earth. It had a neck six times longer than a giraffe’s and ate half a ton of plant matter per day.

Wait, is he making this up?

The illustration looks insane, how could that animal stand upright!?

Is this clickbait, or is the story as omnious as the headline suggest?

The AI made mistakes, according to the humans, flagging an estimated 350 publications as questionable when they were likely legitimate. That still left more than 1,000 journals that the researchers identified as questionable.

That’s quite a large error rate.

There are so many numerical expressions and many physical constants. The number of possible combinations is huge. It’s fun but not surprising to see some expressions approximately match a physical constant due to chance alone.

… eventually, after the patent expires, once other private and/or public manufacturers can produce vitamins the same way.

Tweaking brain cells to reduce appetite? Better be cautious with that.

A cautinary tale about unintended conequences: I recall a sci-fi movies about a planet that manipulated people brain to prevent violent emotions and reduce crime. Many lost all will, became lethargic let themselves die of starving.

It’s probably not going to be that bad. But tweaking the brain may not be free of side effects.

Wake me up when once there are results of a well-designed clinical trial.

My understanding of the article is they’re extrapolating from experiments on mice and on a few human cells in a lab.

Good question.

The paper’s PDF give clearer, less click-baity information on efficiency:

The applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (ABPE) of the Ni(OH)2/Co3O4/3C-SiC photoanode reached 0.47% at 0.65V vs RHE, which is 15.6 and 1.8 times higher than that of the 3C-SiC and Co3O4/3C-SiC photoanodes, respectively (Figure 4b).

A 8x increase is good progress for that specific technique, but 0.47% is very low efficiency. There’s still ways to go.

Could it be another microwave hoven?
