Russian student who planned to fight for Ukraine faces terror charges after prisoner swap return in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

Ukraine has handed over to Russia as part of an exchange a 21-year-old student who had plans to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), investigative media outlet Verstka reported on Friday, citing his friends and Ukrainian military sources.

According to Verstka, Alexey Gerasimov was a former student of journalism at the Chuvash State University, who, friends said, openly supported Chuvashia’s secession from Russia. Chuvashia is a republic in Russia’s Volga region where local Chuvash, a Turkic ethnic group, form a two-thirds majority of the population.

“He would debate teachers, saying it was time for Chuvashia to secede from Russia. The teachers reported him and he was mobilised into the army,” Mishshi Oreshnikov, a Chuvash activist who fights for the AFU, told Verstka, though Verstka was unable to confirm this.

Fucking hell. Both Russia and China’s erasure of indigenous Turkic peoples is really bleak.

It’s a shame the mongabay website doesn’t let you properly see the high quality versions or zoom in.

What book tracking websites/apps is everybody using? in c/books@lemmy.world

I use bookwyrm. Out of principle I won’t use storygraph because it’s closed source.

I agree with you the duplication on BookWyrm is annoying.

I’ve been looking into !neodb@lemmy.zip it looks quite promising but I haven’t had the energy to really engage with it and test it.

In fact, it appears we live in a giant cosmic void with roughly 20% lower than the average density of matter.

Okay that’s a little less dramatic than I envisioned given the use of the word “void”

Low-quality papers based on public health data are flooding the scientific literature (www.nature.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://quokk.au/post/119938

The appearance of thousands of formulaic biomedical studies has been linked to the rise of text-generating AI tools.

Data from five large open-access health databases are being used to generate thousands of poor-quality, formulaic papers, an analysis has found. Its authors say that the surge in publications could indicate the exploitation of these databases by people using large language models(LLMs) to mass-produce scholarly articles, or even by paper mills — companies that churn out papers to order.

Scientists hide messages in papers to game AI peer review (www.nature.com)
 

Researchers have been sneaking secret messages into their papers in an effort to trick artificial intelligence (AI) tools into giving them a positive peer-review report.

The Tokyo-based news magazine Nikkei Asiareported last week on the practice, which had previously been discussed on social media. Nature has independently found 18 preprint studies containing such hidden messages, which are usually included as white text and sometimes in an extremely small font that would be invisible to a human but could be picked up as an instruction to an AI reviewer.
