Hooo boy. Wilde story ... Wilde story.

The anonymized version of the report summary dated January 2025 was published alongside the retraction and concluded that while the authors’ actions did not constitute misconduct, Kaspers and Huibers exhibited “carelessness, ignorance and negligence.” The report also found the article “pays disproportionate attention to the possibility that introduction of corona measures and vaccination might have caused excess mortality, whilst largely ignoring alternative explanations” and “misleadingly and…
Mostert argued governments and media implemented fear and propaganda tactics to reduce “tolerance for reason and dissenting voices” during the pandemic and claimed the investigation into her paper violated academic freedom and constituted censorship.
Also in her testimony, Mostert said she proposed a revision to the published paper that “included a section on vaccine effectiveness in reducing mortality,” but the suggestion was “ignored by the journal.” She also claimed the original section on containment measures and vaccines was “much shorter in the original version of the paper,” but reviewers “asked us to either delete the text or provide more evidence. As there is evidence available, we included it.” The BMJ Public Health retraction not…

Hier sprudelt was.
Hab’ angefangen, meine Unterlagen zu sortieren. Erst lief es gut. Aber jetzt möchte etwas erzählt werden. Es drängt. Schreiben also, mal wieder. Welchen Weg soll ich jetzt nehmen?
Ich denke, im Zweifel für die Kunst. Immer.

Zahlen, bitte! Cargolifter: Luftschiffbruch des Schwertransporters der Lüfte
Der Cargolifter sollte als größtes Luftschiff der Welt Schwerlasten in die Luft heben. Stattdessen verhoben sich die Entwickler: Es hob nie ab.

So why, all the sudden, would it be really high in nutrients?
My guess is they refilled it with city water.
Washington DC like most major metropolitan areas, adds orthophosphate to the water for lead corrosion control.
It works beautifully for this,
but orthophosphate is also a bioavailable form of phosphate,
aka algae food!

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19...

AI-Generated Interactive Fiction for Educational Use: A Pilot Study of Perceived Comprehensibility, Coherence, and Engagement
Finn Rogosch, Andreas Schrader

arXiv:2608.10818v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) can produce educational content at scale, including interactive and narrative learning experiences, but technical generation alone is not sufficient: scenarios that are confusing, narratively inconsistent, or unengaging are unlikely to be useful in practice. This paper presents a pilot user-centred evaluation of AI-generated interactive fiction (IF) for educational use in higher education. Using a previously described domain-agnostic pipeline and a shared STEM content base, we generated a controlled pool of scenarios and asked participants (N = 22, STEM higher-education) to play one generated episode and rate it on narrative clarity, story-content coherence, engagement, and length acceptance. A free-text prompt captured open feedback. Narrative clarity and length acceptance were rated positively, engagement sat near the neutral mid-point of the scale, and story-content coherence was the weakest dimension by a clear margin. Qualitative feedback points to quiz integration as the bottleneck. Artificial in-fiction motivation for quiz prompts and abrupt setting changes were reported. Feedback also pointed to missing story-level consequences for wrong answers. From these observations, we derive concrete design implications that can inform larger follow-up studies, including later work on learning effectiveness.

Lego City Undercover: The Chase Begins: (story) completed!
That was pretty short, really - though the fact I get to spend much more time on handheld games always makes them feel shorter. I've finished the story now, which ends with a good link to the Wii U game and Chase being sent abroad. I was concerned that this would mean that I couldn't continue to search the city, but straight after the credits I was back in Lego City.

Schon erstaunlich, wie viel Kupfer bei einem PV-Anlagenbau und der Hausinstallation als Verschnitt anfällt! 🔌⚡️
Wer die Reste abisoliert und sauber nach verzinntem und blankem Kupfer sortiert, merkt schnell: Da liegt richtig Geld in der Kiste. 💰
Wie handhabt ihr das bei euren Projekten? Fleißig abisolieren und sortieren, Kabel direkt mit Isolierung abgeben oder landet das bei euch irgendwo im Eck?

Ich bin fast durch, mit dem Aufräumen im Büro. Was weg muss, ist gebündelt oder liegt bereit für den Schredder.
Aber ein paar Dinge aus der Serie #BlastFromThePast werde ich hier noch teilen. 😜
Als man noch eine CD brauchte, um ins Internet zu kommen! 🤓

Drei CD-ROMs, zwei beschriftet mit CompuServe, eine rote mit Videotex/Internet von SwissOnline
