    Good contents and ideas - which are actually implemented in Open Research Europe system. Minimal checks and balances, peer review as public comments after publication.

    However I don’t fully agree that peer review as we have today is worse than nothing. I published a bit and reviewed a bit more. I have marked for rejection probably a third of published papers for basic methodology errors that fully invalidate results. Those papers would just add to the noise that already exists via thousands of papers published…











  • The architecture can easily be open source - as long as repo is missing just the training data. Just like there are Doom engines that are open source, even though they do not provide WAD files, which are still copyrighted. The code is there, but it is somewhat useless without the data. Analogy is not perfect, but let’s assume it compiles to a single binary containing everything, maps included.

    If ID Software gives you a compiled Doom with maps free to use it is freeware. If they open source the engine (they actually did), but do not release the WAD files as open source, the compiled game is not open source - it is still freeware.

    It is not complicated really.

    I skimmed the paper. As you said, they made a ML model that takes images and traditional risk factors (TCv8).

    I would love to see comparison against risk factors + human image evaluation.

    Nevertheless, this is the AI that will really help humanity.

    In my previous job I ran my main laptop with Linux. Pain points:

    • MS Teams liked to crash on screen sharing
    • o365 email and calendar works best on Evolution, but still is not perfect
    • meeting rooms often had special usb dongle to connect to the screen. That never worked on Linux.

    Overall it was glorious.
