Former Moderator Sues Chaturbate for 'Psychological Trauma' https://www.404media.co/former-moderator-sues-chaturbate-for-psychological-trauma/

Arguing on the Internet be like...
(No, seriously, I am having this debate with a moderator on a Discord group right now.)

Alert:
I received a scam direct post about account suspension and verification with credit card links. The message from a supposed moderation team on another instance. Be warned, this is a fraud attempt. The offender was obviously taken down by the real moderator(s) as the message disappeared before I screenshotted it.

Coaching session…

Moderator Simulation for the Compact Positron Source at NLCTA
Positron moderation is a key part of the production of slow positrons. This paper examines G4beamline simulations of various moderator designs and the addition of a radiofrequency cavity to increase the efficiency of the moderator. A setup consisting of a 100 MeV electron beam incident on a 7 mm tungsten target, a 5 T adiabatic matching device, a 5-cell L-band RF cavity, and a single-crystal tungsten moderator leads to a 39.3x improvement in the number of positrons moderated over a common thin-…

A Real-Time, Self-Tuning Moderator Framework for Adversarial Prompt Detection
Ensuring LLM alignment is critical to information security as AI models become increasingly widespread and integrated in society. Unfortunately, many defenses against adversarial attacks and jailbreaking on LLMs cannot adapt quickly to new attacks, degrade model responses to benign prompts, or introduce significant barriers to scalable implementation. To mitigate these challenges, we introduce a real-time, self-tuning (RTST) moderator framework to defend against adversarial attacks while mainta…

So, some updates regarding the Consumer Action Taskforce wiki
1. Now called the Consumer Rights Wiki (CRW)
2. I am now a moderator on the wiki!
3. If you want to help assist in making new articles but need inspiration to get started, I just created with the assistance of the wiki staff a new page, a backlog of incidents to handle on the wiki

In einem Podcast bekam der Moderator das Feedback, dass er das Wort „tatsächlich“ inflationär benutzen würde – das war mir tatsächlich gar nicht aufgefallen.
Nun habe ich meinen Blick darauf gerichtet und stelle fest, dass nicht nur ich es häufig benutze. Es ist in gewissen Kreisen tatsächlich zu einem Hidden Champion der Füllwörter geworden.

Sense of Belonging and Intent to Persist: Mediating Role of Motivation and Moderating Role of Gender in Physics and Astronomy Graduate Students

Sense of Belonging and Intent to Persist: Mediating Role of Motivation and Moderating Role of Gender in Physics and Astronomy Graduate Students
This study investigates how graduate students' sense of belonging (SB) influences their intent to persist (IP) in physics and astronomy programs, and how this relationship is shaped by the basic psychological needs that drive motivation-autonomy, competence, and relatedness-as well as gender. Grounded in self-determination theory, the analysis treats these three needs as mediators and gender as a moderator. A quantitative survey was administered to graduate students in the Department of Physics…

Wie retten wir unsere Städte?
Das fragt Christian Sievers und fragt in Städten, die sich ihere Schönheit lebenswert erhalten haben, ist unter anderem in Freiburg und im spanischen Santander. Und er ist in Ludwigshafen, der schönsten Stad aus Beton für alle, die Autobahnen und Bundesstraßen lieben.

Am Puls mit Christian Sievers - Wie retten wir unsere Städte? Leben statt Leere!
Viele deutsche Innenstädte wirken wie Orte, die man lieber meidet. Woran liegt das? ZDF-Moderator Christian Sievers will das herausfinden.

Direct Neutron Reactions in Storage Rings Utilizing a Supercompact Cyclotron Neutron Target
We propose a new approach for a high-density free-neutron target, primarily aimed at nuclear astrophysics reaction studies in inverse kinematics with radioactive ions circulating in a storage ring. The target concept integrates four key subsystems: a neutron production source driven by a supercompact cyclotron utilizing $^9$Be($p,xn$) reactions, an optimized moderator/reflector assembly using either heavy-water or beryllium oxide with a graphite reflector shell to thermalize fast neutrons, a cr…
