In fairness sometimes small tiny differences like that do turn out to be significant. But measurement error usually wins out most of the time

Now that I’m looking for it, I can’t find it anywhere, I think it might just be something unpublished from the person on mastodon. Would make sense with them saying they love footnotes

Not necessarily. Self citation is different than building on your previous work. You might just seek to use other citations for the relevent concepts

Edit: the 2015 paper this is referencing lists many differing potential reasons for it. Ranging from worrying more about negative feedback for self citation to being more likely to being more critical of their own work

This is refering to a device used by researchers of nuclear weapons that accidentally went supercritical twice

Yep for those curious how it harms native bees:

But scientists say competition with honey bees may also play a role. In a 2017 report in Conservation Letters, researchers calculated that during three months, honey bees in a typical 40-hive apiary collect the equivalent amount of pollen and nectar as 4 million solitary wild bees. “Brilliant foragers,” honey bees can “dominate floral resources and suppress native bee numbers,” says lead author Jim Cane, a retired federal biologist who heads the nonprofit WildBeecology.

Honey bees also carry diseases that can infect natives, including deformed wing virus and the parasite Crithidia bombi. Researchers have found that native bees near apiaries can suffer a high incidence of such illnesses.

Also some fun facts: most North American native bee species don’t even live in hives or produce honey for themselves at all. They also almost never sting too

Unlike honey bees, more than 90 percent of our nearly 4,000 native bee species live not with other bees in hives but alone in nests carved into soil, wood or hollow plant stems. Often mistaken for flies, the majority are tiny and do not have queens or produce honey. Without a hive’s larvae and food supplies to defend, “native bees almost never sting,” Mizejewski say

The tricky part will be enforcing it. Illegal fishing is rampant all around the world because enforcing things at sea is rather difficult. 1 in 5 fish are illegal caught

Where do you have that? I haven’t seen that in most places

Stickers don’t break down, however. They’re super annoying for composting stuff because you have to remove every single one

It is not well defined. Because an order of summation is not given you could just as easily sum pairs of (0,1), (-1,2), (-2,3), (-3,4)… (-x, x+1) and conclude you are constantly adding 1 to your total so it goes to infinity instead

Or do the reverse of (-1,0), (-2,1), … (-x-1, x) and get that the each pair adds -1 so the sum goes to negative Infinity

Order of the addition sometimes changes infinite sums. Infinitely large things are weird sometimes

According to series animator Vincent Waller, “there is absolutely no meat in the Krabby Patty. There’s no animal product in there”, something which was always planned by series creator Stephen Hillenburg.[9]

…

he stated that there is no meat served in Bikini Bottom except at the Chum Bucket.

To be fair, from a quick glance, a good chunck of those articles are about ChatGPT/other AI and showing output from it as examples in the text

Though there are certain many that are not related to AI that show up in the results…

This study looks at the effects more so of replacing red meat with plant-based foods, not so much the effects of replacing it with chicken which is what the per capita consumption changes so more there

There are of course a number of other factors indeed that influence diabetes, yes

They also account for weight in the study, the association is still there after that’s accounted for

@grant@toast.ooo, I think this probably can be unpinned now whenever you get the chance

I figured, but I was trying to be funny. I suppose that did not come across well over text

Eye bleach for watching hank green talk with animations behind him? Seems excessive :P

That one was focused on philosophy there, but there were also QR codes like rickrolls too. 42 one was the biggest, however

huh?

42 (there’s no gore here)
