#Vegetative #electron #microscopy” is #nonsense. And yet several scientific #papers have included the phrase over the past few years.

When two papers from the 1950s were digitized, two columns of text may have been read together incorrectly, the “vegetative” from one column smushed up with the “electron microscopy” in the other.

The #researchers discovered the phrase started showing up in responses generated by #OpenAI’s GPT 3.0, which was released in 2020.

Let It Flow: recreating a FACS plot with ggplot

https://quantixed.org/2025/06/05/let-it-flow-recreating-a-facs-plot-with-ggplot/

Ah, I'm lucky I never deleted all emails from Academia.edu, there are many valuable journals and papers that I haven't read yet.

Switched from Gnome Evice (default documentviewer for pdf) to Gnome Papers and really impressed.

Was annoyed by some minor Evince bugs which over time motivated enough to look for something else. Turned out Paper is actively developed and even has: Dark Mode.

Although Dark Mode is expected everywhere nowadays, few PDF viewers have it. On Windows I only found one, unmaintened.

In the beautiful world of collaboration, I leave on holidays for 10 days, and mostly every project or task I was working on got moved forward considerably by others, with barely nothing being blocked on me. Thank you everybody

“Papers! Where are your papers?”

Remember, when #travelling on a #train in #America, the #Gestapo might demand to see your #papers.

“The GEOROC Database (Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents) is a comprehensive collection of published analyses of igneous and metamorphic rocks and minerals. It contains major and trace element concentrations, radiogenic and nonradiogenic isotope ratios as well as analytical ages for whole rocks, glasses, minerals and inclusions. Metadata include geospatial and other sample information, analytical details and references….
Current content of GEOROC:
• 22,750 papers
• 685,660 samples
• 2,680,100 analyses
• 39,334,100 single data values…”

I've checked out @bluebuild tonight, and I find it really, really cool. I'm now running a system with:

- The official* set of #GNOME Core apps installed by default, most of them as Flatpaks from #Flathub
- * #Showtime and #Papers instead of their old counterparts, and #Decibels
- The full GNOME wallpaper collection supplanting Fedora's branded ones
- No Firefox RPM
- No Fedora Flatpak repository

Anyone else using the image would in theory get the same experience out of the box. Pretty neat!
