Science Summary for Q1 2024 (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

5 comments fedilink

Sources, a few more items and relevant Wikipedia articles are in 2024 in science.

Now making these quarterly instead of monthly (posted most of the previous ones only to reddit). I’m making these summaries so you can stay up to date with the latest science even if you only have little time. Also updating Wikipedia articles sooner or later.

You can get a quarterly email notification here. Non-included items and criteria can be found here.

This is the latest summary and last one for 2023. I'm making these summaries so you can stay up to date even if you only have little time while updating Wikipedia articles. Monthly mail notification here. A few more items are in the Wiki article. Non-included items and criteria can be found here.

Quellen sind im WP Artikel 2023 in science zu finden. Mache diese monatlichen Zusammenfassungen seit einigen Jahren gemäß dieser Kriterien, damit man auch mit wenig Zeit mehr oder weniger auf dem aktuellen Stand der Forschung sein kann.

Making the summaries so you can get up to date fast. Cut the number of tiles down from 10 to 8 (only 2 main items this time). Monthly notification. More items are in the WP article and non-included items with criteria are here.

For reflection on science and its results and reviews of the year in science.
I'm interested in how to integrate these results into Wikipedia and society. Criteria for inclusion and non-included are here.

Scientists show how ‘doing your own research’ leads to believing conspiracies — This effect arises because of the quality of information churned out by Google’s search engine by prototyperspective in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

It's because the education system is utterly outdated across the world. No digital literacy, media literacy, or health literacy in the curriculum but lots of things you'll never need and forget to never be useful again within a few months. Studies should investigate things relating to this subject.

It's also because of the quality of search engine results but both are directly linked, people need to learn how to use search engines etc.

Die Quellen sind hier zu finden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_in_science

Wem es zu viel Text ist: einfach das farbige lesen und dann überspringen falls es uninteressant ist.

Kann übrigens die Seite Kialo empfehlen – dort gibt es interaktive Argumentbäume zu allen möglichen Themen, auch viele wissenschaftliche. Habe dort diese zwei strukturierte Debatten erstellt:

Übrigens sehr schade, wie willkürlich die Mods von rDe bannen und zensieren. Einen Link zu diesem Subreddit hier findet man dort auch nicht. Der englischsprachige Post ist in /r/sciences

▬▬▬▬ Infos ▬▬▬▬

Quellen der oberen Hauptitems:

Die restlichen Quellen diesmal nur im Wikipedia-Artikel. Da es diesmal weniger Hauptitems gab, wären es sowieso zu viele. Falls eine Studie hinter einer Paywall ist, kann "Anna's Archive" oft aushelfen.

Im Wikiartikel findet ihr auch entsprechende, weiterführende Wikipedia Artikel zu allen Einträgen. Voraussetzung für ein Feature ist, dass der Eintrag in dieser Liste enthalten ist – andere Studien/Ereignisse werden hier nicht berücksichtigt. Weitere Kriterien sind in der Liste unten verlinkt.

Ich nutze Scientometrics (Altmetrics) und einige Webseiten um entsprechende Studien für die weitere kriterienbasierte Auswahl ausfindig zu machen.

Hier eine lange Liste von Studien bei denen es nicht ganz gereicht hat, um in den WiK gefeatured zu werden (teils mit Erklärung). Falls eine sehr signifikante Studie fehlen sollte, hinterlasst bitte einen Kommentar.

Wikipedia braucht mehr Editoren, die wissenschaftsbezogene Artikel erweitern, verbessern und erstellen (fast alle Einträge dieser monatlichen Zusammenfassungen integriere dort immer noch ich in den relevanten Artikeln). Entwickler könnten bei der MediaWiki-Software mithelfen; Einsteiger-Issues; Community-Wünsche

Making these summaries so you can stay up to date with the latest major studies in short time.

I also integrate most of the studies into Wikipedia; finding, editing & selection take most of the time, not the image. Monthly newsletter is here (I don't know if it still sends the mails properly sth happened to the upvotes a few months ago). This one is a bit late again since I get absolutely no benefit of doing this as a volunteer. Links to the criteria and list of nonincluded items; I've been making these summaries for >3 years for free. Check out the website Kialo for structured argument debates on topics like 'How did our universe begin'. More Wikipedia editors & devs and Wikimedia Commons science images contributors are needed.

Here's the sources for only the four main items:

Barack Obama: “For elevator music, AI is going to work fine. Music like Bob Dylan or Stevie Wonder, that's different” by prototyperspective in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It's more or less only (that is mainly) useful for building components that you then use in your man-made tracks. It's a tool, just like AI image generators are tools albeit there the replacement use-case is substantial. AI-generated voice also needs to be considered in this context I think.

Organspender-Zahl in Bayern stagniert – Ministerin: "Bedrückend" by prototyperspective in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Es ist absolut verantwortungslos und unethisch dass es in Deutschland kein Organspende-by-Default System gibt. Das würde das Problem lösen und jeder der nicht spenden möchte schickt einfach einen Brief oder macht online einen Haken. Ich denke es bedarf nur einer politischen Entscheidung um diese vielen Leben zu retten.

I also integrate most of the studies into Wikipedia; finding, editing & selection take most of the time, not the image. Monthly newsletter is here (I don't know if it still sends the mails properly).

I used to put all the sources here; here's the sources for only the six main items:

Yes (200k–300.000), that's why it says pre-humans...we didn't arise out of nowhere, it was a continuous evolution and it seems like if those had died out we wouldn't be here. (However, that's not settled, there are substantial reasonable doubts over these results as hinted at with "While alternative explanations are possible" and elaborated in the other comments here.)

Good question, it wasn't a warming and even if it was, I don't think it can easily be translated to today's climate change. They refer to the Early-to-Middle Pleistocene Transition (not much info at that page though). If it's linked, that doesn't mean it caused it – I think people in that regard far too often think of (especially singular) causes instead of contributors within a complex interconnected set of causal factors. Maybe you're interested in this non-included paper from the same month which projects an upcoming large sudden population decline – it's just not substantiated and one can't just compare modern humans with other animal populations.

Thank you, will look into this. I had my doubts when I first heard about this but even with these sources I still think the study is significant beyond the large attention (and that itself is also a factor). I don't think there's much doubt that "The precision of the findings, though, may be a stretch" is true which doesn't invalidate the study and like a critic said "The conclusions, she says, “though intriguing, should probably be taken with some caution and explored further."

Also consider that I usually have 8 main tiles and two brief ones, the only other alternative main tiles this month were the dogxim, Y chromosome and astrocytes ones which could get summarized nicely very briefly at the bottom while this one should be included but was hard to summarize that briefly.

Here is the study (it both reduced workload and increased effectiveness), I don't think you understood what this was about but that's nothing to criticize with the brevity of text

Monthly Science Summary by prototyperspective in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That's why I put "While alternative explanations are possible" there.

I didn't add it to the WP article, and nothing here suggests this to be "conclusive"...it's just really 'significant' which even skeptics of this seem to agree with. Would be interesting if you have a source for "large number of assumptions" though: that doesn't seem to be a good description what people doubting it pointed out / criticized here: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/31/science/human-survival-bottleneck.html I previously had something like "Some peers doubt the study but if correct, [...]" there maybe that would be clearer?

Thanks, spending many days on going through >2k studies, the criteria-based selection and integrating most of these into Wikipedia (the image itself takes less time). Happy to see it's appreciated.

IT needs more brains, so why is it so bad at getting them? by prototyperspective in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Because people are not so interested in reinventing the wheel a thousand times when there could be just 3 optimal open source solutions.

Also many products are plain useless or even harmful to society such as mundane noneducational distracting addictive mobile games.

Could you license this image under CCBY so that it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons? I'd add it to here. Let me know if that's okay or if CCBY is mentioned somewhere.
