I miss the time when biomedical research wasn't all ball bearings, bananas, roller skates, and floor wax
I fixed this Commodore 64 with a wavy screen by adding the missing heatsink to the voltage regulator, which I did not notice at first retroprojects.org/case-studies... #commodore64 #c64 #retrocomputing

We listed today a vintage Commodore 64 in good working order. This clean unit has all the original ICs including a working SID & features an early Rev A board with a 5-pin DIN www.etsy.com/listing/4362... #commodore64 #c64 #retrocomputing #etsy #the8bitmaker
Here is an Atari 800XL I fixed earlier this year by replacing the U29 delay line chip that was causing a faulty NMI signal to be held high on the 6502 Sally. Scope shows the restored normal signal atariprojects.org/2025/02/22/d... #atari #atari8bit #retrocomputing

Thrilled to receive my new Bambu Lab H2S 3D printer this weekend. I am VERY impressed so far. BL has set the bar really high. The H2S joins my team of P1S printers, which I have been very happy with. #3dprinting #h2s #bambulab #maker

It is happening to all journals. The key is for editors to look over the reviews when they come back to check for blatant misuse of ChatGPT before they are returned to the authors.
I have heard the same from other colleagues. I no longer plan to submit to this journal.

My video about how LLMs are not search engines has led to many, MANY comments telling me that I should be using Perplexity. Some insisting that Perplexity does not hallucinate. Out of a list of 26 papers it just provided me (in "Research" mode) 4 were real. FOUR. 85% hallucination rate.

Received two reviews on a paper I am a co-author on that was submitted the @natureportfolio.nature.com Scientific Reports. Both reviews were written by ChatGPT & clearly not edited with hallucinations. Shame on the editors for letting this unethical nonsense out the door.
