Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews in c/science@lemmy.world
[–] tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I worked at a newspaper before, there was policy to always add “reported” or “allegedly” to avoid a judicial mess. It could be argued that the company was accusing someone of the fact, so you would be sued your ass off no matter how true the affirmation would be.

Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? (lemmy.world)

When I was little I always though that being famous was a merit thing. If a musician was known it was because he or she was excepcional in his/her art: an incredible singer, a highly skilled guitarist, an amazing drummer.

But then I got older and saw a lot of gigs, and a lot of disciplined and truly amazing musicians that nobody heard about... And most were struggling financially, having a side job just to get by. How come? What is missing from them that the "icons" have?

Holy shit, the new controls are massive.

Swiss officials not following EU use of burner phones for US travel in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Given the current state on the US arriving with a burner phone, or even a clean one, would at least get you interrogated, and at worst deported to Guantanamo. Better leave something innocuous on the phone that makes it look used.

Tron: Ares - Official Poster in c/movies@lemm.ee
[–] tigerjerusalem@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'm so not stoked for this... Apart from being a reboot, bringing Tron to the real world smells like budget cuts to make the movie. I seriously think it will suck, but the soundtrack will rock.

To me the killer feature is the ability to send my tabs to any device I have. Without it it's impossible for me to ditch Firefox, I rely too much on this feature.

So, is the USA screwed? (lemmy.world)
 

You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm not from the US so all of this is baffling. In Europe and even South America there's tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening, and this kind of meddling would seriously result in arrests. However this is happening in the US with these people going completely unchecked. How is that even possible?!

How to get back into academia for a masters degree after being out for 20+ years? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm thinking about getting back to uni to get my Masters and later a PhD. The thing is, I'm out of academia for more than 20 years, and completely at loss. I don't quite know where to begin. Any tips?

And what the hell are all supposed to mean? Also, get off my lawn.

EDIT: I'm talking about "cold", not "cool". I'm seeing it being used along with snowflakes and freezing emoji, sometimes even saying "ice".

Horoscopes actually tell the personality of someone. (lemmy.world)

Hear me out: if someone believes in horoscopes, they know what each sign mean. Which means they recognise themselves into a sign. Which means they will mostly act in ways to conform to that sign, giving you a way to figure that person out. The sign tells it all, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Can someone recommend songs about going to life alone and feeling good about it? There's too much depressing stuff about loneliness around. All I have on my playlist for now is:

Whitesnake - Here I go again

Morrissey - I'm OK by myself

Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free

The Beaches - Me & me
