"Verify your age" Explains how THAC0 worked in AD&D.

Your periodic reminder that there is practically no downside to preprints: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪⚛️🎢

Think preprints are unreliable? Analysis of 70,000 studies might change your mindCentral conclusions rarely change when biomedical preprints go on to be published in journals.www.nature.com

Tempted to start making posts about how #Optics, #Light, absorption etc work, aimed at people doing #MiniaturePainting . Mostly I am not doing it because I suspect I would come around as obnoxious instead of useful.

Tl;DR: “The short answer is no, they don’t [work reliably]” Using a LLM to decide whether a text was written by a LLM is largely a fool's errand, and you will have an enormous amount of false positives. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Universities are relying on AI-detection software to catch cheating. How well do the programs work?Technology companies say that their services can sniff out AI-generated writing, but their tools vary in technique and quality.www.nature.com

I will never be as cool as people studying ball lightning: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #Physics #Lightning

Is ball lightning a relativistic soliton? - Nature PhotonicsBall lightning is not fully understood. It has been proposed that a stable lump of electromagnetic energy, known as a soliton, could be responsible, but such structures are usually microscopic. Now, h...www.nature.com

My very first miniature VS the very same miniature painted almost exactly one year later. I can't call myself a good painter, but at least I improved this year 😃 #MiniaturePainting (mini from #HeroQuest )

If you ask a number of smart and well-studied Physicists whether you can write quantum mechanics using only real numbers, they will nicely split 50-50 into a group answering "Obviously yes!" and another answering "Obviously no!". Which is why I love this kind of papers. #QuantumMechanics #Physics

A New Perspective on Real-Valued Quantum TheoryBy exploiting a physically motivated principle, rather than a mathematical postulate, researchers offer a new perspective on how a real-valued quantum theory can be constructed.physics.aps.org

Painted my first #Bloodbowl team! It was mostly a learning curve on how to paint beards 🤣 #MiniaturePainting

* Prepare a lecture on a topic you are familiar with, but not a specialist in. * Suddenly realise the way you are formulating it is different from the way the textbook formulate it. * Start doubting yourself and double-check on three other books. #ImposterSyndrome 1/
