Just saw this post from @sciety saying that they're "the home of public preprint evaluation" and it rubbed me up the wrong way - from what I understand there's multiple platforms (@prereview, #TRiP by hypothes.is, others?) in this space, and it feels like a collaborative/distributed approach is what we should be aiming for.

:bitcoin: **Bitcoin, Currencies, and Fragility**
_“In its current version, in spite of the hype, bitcoin failed to satisfy the notion of “currency without government” (it proved to not even be a currency at all), can be neither a short nor long term store of value (its expected value is no higher than), cannot operate as a reliable inflation hedge, and, worst of all, does not constitute, not even remotely, a safe haven for one's investments, a shield against government tyranny, or a tail protection vehicle for catastrophic episodes.”_

In 2015, I used spectral analysis (now a standard component of ML algorithms underlying AI) on a sample of rasterized central components of #BobRoss paintings. I created the first ever rendering of a pixel-by-pixel "average" bob ross painting. Today, ChatGPT can render an interpretation of "create an average bob ross painting" - fascinatingly, the quantitative results from my preprint map very well to the AI's qualitative interpretation.

New #preLights post from Vibha Singh! 👀
In this highlighted #preprint, the research team (#NalbantLab) introduces a powerful new approach to studying mechanobiological regulation in cancer. In doing so, they describe how tumour cells manage to “pull” themselves away from the tumour bulk during invasion.

It is never really my work, but usually a team effort, but thanks for telling me 😅
More importantly:
This trial (INSPIRE) and its companion trial (AWARE) are now published and you can read and cite the #PrePrint papers, economic evaluations, #CACE analyses, and qualitative findings:

arXiv 要搬到 GCP 上
在「arXiv moving from Cornell servers to Google Cloud (arxiv.org)」這邊看到 arXiv 搬到 GCP 的消息，是出自他們的徵才頁面：「Careers at arXiv - arXiv info」。 We are already underway on the arXiv CE ("Cloud Edition") project. This is a project to re-home all arXiv services from VMs at Cornell to a cloud provider (Google Cloud). 不過看 Hacker News 上的 comment，似乎是受到 Trump 政府對大學資金政策的影響，這些職缺目…

Studie zeigt langfristige Immun- und Stoffwechselschäden nach einer #Corona Infektion.
Die University of California San Francisco, NIH und das Frederick National Cancer Laboratory zeigen, dass COVID-19 zu erheblichen und dauerhaften Veränderungen des Immun- und Stoffwechselsystems betroffener Personen führen kann.
Das heißt neben #LongCovid leider auch #Krebs.
Auch 2025 solltet Ihr besser kein #Corona bekommen.
