This article is from January. It has since been peer reviewed and published in Cell. But, having been peer reviewed has no bearing on reproducibility unless within this study they were to have multiple independent groups repeat their experiments. Which I don’t think they did. Still, good study I think.

I think The Lancet is a reputable journal. They seem to have conveyed the findings of this article well. With quotes from the authors as well. Seems like an adequately scientific article with very little exaggeration. So, by my standards I wouldn’t consider it click bait.

Good idea in principle. Do peer-reviewed journals only count as credible? If not, what is your proposed criteria?

I could comment on how I feel about this new AI, but I prefer not to

I was completely naive to 3D printing 6 months ago, got a Prusa mini, got printing. Pretty simple. Great explainers on the prusa website. Easy installation and intuitive software. I recommend it.

My first question was, what is the alternative? Here’s the answer:

Here’s a fun theory. This is one of Musk’s final steps towards knowingly destroying Twitter in a convoluted plan to help Trump by making the platform that had been hating on him the most and suppressing support of him the most after he’d been banned. Without the platform that Twitter provided Trump he wouldn’t have won in 2016. For 2024 he needs as powerful a platform and Trump probably feels he can have that platform with less censorship and more control of the opposition on Truth Social when the largest competitor is hamstrung. On the other hand, Musk may seem to have powerful incentives not to tank Twitter, namely due to the potential loss of revenue. But, one could justify this behaviour if you think about how much Musk may stand to gain from Trump tax policy if his efforts helping him get elected succeed. It seems the reduction in taxes to large earners like Musk may be more than enough to compensate for lost earning through Twitter. If that is the case, it seems reasonable to just let the platform die by a thousand mismanaged administrative cuts and weakening of the brand recognition so much that the whole enterprise just becomes basically crossed out in the mind of potential users… Who knows if this is true, but time will tell whether or not these potential motivations seem like reasonable explanations for Musk’s actions in retrospect.
