Apparently @nature.com are going to retract this paper, but will take some time.
I’m just gonna tag myself as «runctitional» which I define as the antonym to «runcational» which is a person dedicated to the removal of weeds:

«runctitional» is therefore the technical term for a collector of embarrassing bugs and ridiculous architectures.

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

TIL that like low level programmers talk about struct-ot-arrays vs arrays-of-structs,
databases talk about row-oriented vs column-oriented databases.
For basically the same reasons.
I mean, probably not a revelation, but I typically don't do db stuff.

I need a threaded bolt, and I was really happy that I got this doohickey that I can use to find the size I need: M7. Preferably 10-15cm long.
Turns out absolutely none carries this size. M7 is perhaps the least popular size in the history of bots.

Also, like, the "Euopeans pay so much tax" is only a thing because the listed US tax rates don't include social security or medicare taxes. If you add the 6% social security and 1.45% medicare onto the US income tax rate... you don't pay a whole lot less in the US (and you don't get healthcare!)

Humans are excellent at anthropomorphising _anything_ for companionship.
We collectively understand why Tom Hanks' character in Castaway makes a 'friend' out of a basketball and becomes attached to it. We also understand that this doesn't mean the basketball is sentient.
