Český medik a zakladatel Projektu Phoenix byl v březnu vážně zraněn šrapnelem na Donbase. V dubnu byl převezen do pražské Ústřední vojenské nemocnice.ČTK (iROZHLAS.cz)

The surprising part is not that math grad students named Cox and Zucker would come up with the idea of writing a paper together just as a joke.
It's that they followed through after they became professors, and wrote a paper that was actually rather significant.
Continued: it's striking that the authors didn't even use conventional machine learning procedures to develop their classifier.
Rather, they chose features that made sense to them as indicators.
These were not even indicators of fake papers, but rather indicators of non-response to a survey —which of course is a very different thing than authorship of a fake paper.
We honour the memory of the Fallen for Ukraine.
Every picture on the wall tells a story of bravery and sacrifice.
They lost their lives fighting for our European values.
Let us not forget these faces.
Let us not forget them.

SocialHub admins are looking for people to join their Wellbeing team. People who can mediate conflict in a calm and reasonable way, and tell the difference between temporary grumpiness and patterns of trolling.
This explains pretty well why SocialHub exists:
socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/…
Are you interested?
Can you think of anyone else who might be a good candidate? They're looking to diversify the team a bit. So particularly keen to welcome people who aren't straight, white, and cis.
Participation: SocialHub, swicg mailing list and w3c wiki
@eprodrom asked a question on the swicg (Social Web Incubator Community Group) mailing list about why people were asking questions about AP/AS2 on SocialHub instead of there. @melvincarvalho posted a response that captures my situation well.SocialHub

I can't believe what I am reading.
My home university is ditching physical diplomas for digital ones. I sort of see the upsides from the sustainability and e-authentication POV, but the printed diploma with all the twirls, embossing and ornaments is so cool. Sometimes having a physical symbol of your achievement is important. They suggest showing your diploma to relatives "from a laptop screen" or printing it on normal printer paper.....

V západních městech se opravdu jezdí na kole a se sportem to nemá co dočinění. Kola se používají levná, aby je nikdo nekradl a klidně je lidi nechávají na vlakových stanicích S-Bahn a vlastně všude.
To je celý super 🙂
Jenže protože jsou kola levná, tak se občas nevyplatí se už pro něj vracet. Nikdo ho nechce, neukradne... A tak zůstane někde prostě opřené nafurt. Takže jednou za čas se sešrotují. Tolik k ekologii a plýtvání zdroji.

We've reached a new peak for #adware intrusiveness.
More and more businesses that rely on ads and data collection for their revenue are struggling to prove the sustainability and profitability of their model. As a result, they're becoming more and more aggressive in ads and data collection. With the discreteness of their data collection programs gone long ago, their new goal is to make a world full of adware and spyware the new normal.
Google is now showing ads in the middle of your emails, and YouTube is disabling streaming unless you disable your ad-blocker.
But it's hard to think of an idea more intrusive than PlutoTV's new marketing stunt. They're giving away 500k smart 4k TVs for free, with an embedded Chromecast included.
The catch? Their 55-inch TVs will have a secondary 9-inch display physically soldered on top that you can't turn off and that displays ads 24/7.
Anyone else feels some echoes of 1984 at the idea of a display in your home that you can't turn off and whose content you can't control?

in reply to Carl T. Bergstrom • • •The mind just boggles.
"Note that the tallying rule [private email, no international collaborators] identifies likely fakes, but it cannot determine with certainty whether a given publication is actually (legally) a fake. Nevertheless, it is a reliable tool to red-flag scientific reports for further analysis and is a rational basis to estimate the upper value of fake publishing in biomedicine."
RELIABLE TOOL?
RATIONAL BASIS?
How could anyone write this stuff and post it in good faith?
Carl T. Bergstrom
in reply to Carl T. Bergstrom • • •And then there's this:
"It is important to keep in mind that our indicators provide a red flag, not legal proof, that a given manuscript or publication might be fake. However, it is the authors' burden of proof to demonstrate that their science can be trusted."
BULLSHIT.
It is absolutely not the authors' burden of proof to demonstrate that their science can be trusted when the criteria used to question their work are (1) their email address and (2) the lack of international collaborators.
Carl T. Bergstrom
in reply to Carl T. Bergstrom • • •And then there's the survey they used to "validate" their hopeless instrument.
How would you respond if you received this from some random account?
As a misinformation researcher, I get all sorts of politically motivated harassment that looks a lot like this. Last thing I'm going to do is give them contacty information they could look up themselves for my university president, dean, HR people, etc.
To presume that not answering implies guilt is outrageous.
Carl T. Bergstrom
in reply to Carl T. Bergstrom • • •Finally, I want to stress that it is no defense whatsoever to say that the algorithm could be used simply as a preliminary screen to red-flag papers for additional scrutiny.
If one is going to propose machine-learning classifier to make instrumental decisions that affect careers and reputations, one must carefully and thoroughly consider issues of fairness and risks algorithmic harm that might arise.
The authors of this preprint don't even mention such issues.
Carl T. Bergstrom
in reply to Carl T. Bergstrom • • •Not only does the Science story fail to call them on this; its author falls into the one of the oldest and most pernicious traps around algorithmic bias.
The author contrasts the use of "automated methods" with reliance on "human prejudice", entirely overlooking the fact that the automated methods proposed here are nothing but the explicit and fully-descirbed instantiation of human prejudice.
It's truly an embarrassment all around.
Carl T. Bergstrom
in reply to Carl T. Bergstrom • • •UPDATE: The paper is on pubpeer, with a response from lead author Sabel.
I find it to be a completely unsatisfactory effort at misdirection, but decide for yourself.
The irony of this guy writing a preprint that spectacularly overestimates the frequency of fake papers using ridiculous methods, getting Science and NPR and a host of right-wing news organizations to pick it up, and then saying "The loss of trust in science is the key issue we should worry about."
