I've used Readwise Reader for this and it's worked fine! read.readwise.io

I've never used Debian or Manjaro, but again, I'm skeptical that there could be a big enough difference for it to be worth it. Ubuntu is the most commonly used distro. For a group resource, there is a lot of merit in using the most common thing. You'll find better support, etc.

I like pop (it's my laptop's OS), but it's not different enough from Ubuntu that I'd think it's worth switching on the recommendation of one student (also right now the current release is old enough that it's kind of a pain if you need an up-to-date C++ compiler, but that will be fixed in a month).

Pros for meeting abstract: it's what ORCID import does automatically and it lets you enter both the conference name and publisher (doesn't let you enter a page count, though)

Pros for other: lets you enter a page count (doesn't let you enter a publication venue name, though)

Jeffrey Epstein justified his evil actions with "science"

Evolutionary biologists whispering in his ear about how men and women are fundamentally different, and it's "natural" to desire younger women

Our field has a duty to explain why this is wrong both scientifically and ethically

Is half dome small enough to be a rock or does it count as a mountain?

The polling place where I usually work (not there today because I had to teach) is also getting way more voters than I was expecting. The only thing they've got on their ballot is a city council race, and it's a campus precinct. In similar elections in the past we've gotten just a single vote.

Oh, okay, I take it back! I didn't even realize there was a preprint. That seems legitimately useful.

I think the issue isn't with contributions being weighted unequally (of course different people contribute different amounts to different papers), but instead with attempting a one size fits all ranking. If the tool looked at author contributions and weighted based on that instead, I'd be open to it

Weird, I'm in the US and I don't think I've ever heard someone say "fennel." I'm a biologist not a chemist, though.

I guess the relevant follow-up question in what proportion of AI bubble money is going into building data centers/power plants (potentially long term useful, although I worry about the environmental costs) vs. developing software that's not actually going to be long-term useful.
