En ny studie påstås bevisa att en massa populära råd på internet vid endometrios nu är bevisade att fungera men studien är en dåligt utförd enkätstudie som egentligen inte svarar på någonting mer än vad som är populärt att testa just nu

Das Adobe Foto-Abo ist krass teuer geworden. Man kann dieses zwar nach wie vor 23% reduziert bei Amazon kaufen, aber trotz der Reduzierung kostet es inzwischen 192,99- €. Letztes Jahr habe ich nur die hälfte bezahlt und wenn man das Abo bei Adobe einfach in die Verlängerung laufen lässt, kostet es jetzt 249,99- €.
Pro Tipp: Unbedingt reduziert über Amazon kaufen! Das spart einem immerhin fast 60,- €.

Die Schweden sind bereit den Beweis anzutreten:

From Lived Experience to Insight: Unpacking the Psychological Risks of Using AI Conversational Agents
Recent gains in popularity of AI conversational agents have led to their increased use for improving productivity and supporting well-being. While previous research has aimed to understand the risks associated with interactions with AI conversational agents, these studies often fall short in capturing the lived experiences of individuals. Additionally, psychological risks have often been presented as a sub-category within broader AI-related risks in past taxonomy works, leading to under-represe…

Thoughts on Fosstodon
I'm moving to hachyderm.io. Here's the background... When I left Twitter for Mastodon in late 2022, I chose fosstodon.org as my home. I appreciated the open source focus and it seemed like a well-run instance that would be around for a while. I also signed up as a monthly patron, to support the admin team and help keep the instance sustainable. In recent days, there has been a minor furor across the fediverse related to one of the moderators at…

It seems that chatting with AIs can either cause or trigger psychotic episodes
Please be careful. My suggestion, if you're using AI frequently, would be to tell someone you trust that you're using AI frequently, ask them to keep an eye on you, and even allow them to access your chat log.

Marriages and families are falling apart as people are sucked into fantasy worlds of spiritual prophecy by AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT

Surface plasmons in metamaterial cavities: Scattering by obstacles with negative wave speed
We study scattering by metamaterials with negative indices of refraction, which are known to support \emph{surface plasmons} -- long-lived states that are highly localized at the boundary of the cavity. This type of states has found uses in a variety of modern technologies. In this article, we study surface plasmons in the setting of non-trapping cavities; i.e. when all billiard trajectories outside the cavity escape to infinity. We characterize the indices of refraction which support surface p…

I left ESC right before the final points, afraid of how the mood in the hall might change. A shouting match between Israel and Austria supporters had already started.
I think the right singer won.
