Wenn Leute, die sich über Astrologie, Homöopathie und belebtes Wasser lustig machen, gleichzeitig IQ für eine hochpräzise naturwissenschaftliche Messung halten und Rassentheorie für akademisch diskussionswürdig erklären, ist das schon eine besonders tragische Ironie.

Wake-activated neuronal populations that regulate sleep drive - Nature
Whole-brain activity mapping, targeted cell manipulations and electrophysiology in mice identify wake-activated neuronal populations that are crucial for sleep drive and can persistently reduce daily sleep amount.

News analysis: Soon after President Trump announced a new plan last week to deliver peace and security in Gaza, the Palestinian enclave instead experienced a spike in deadly Israeli bombings, which threatened to undermine hopes for long-awaited progress.
Israeli Strikes May Undermine Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza
President Trump announced a proposal aimed at achieving the disarmament of Hamas and an Israeli withdrawal. Israel ramped up attacks on the Palestinian enclave.

There is an international expert consensus on how to treat PAIS. We should not resort to treatments without any scientific evidence, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, brain retraining, Gupta method, et cetera.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

The cease-fire in Gaza is more than two months old. But the killing of Palestinians has not yet stopped for more than a day or two at a time.
The Truce Is 2 Months Old. So Why Have Hundreds of Gazans Been Killed?
Since the cease-fire took effect, Israel says it has targeted only militants. But death can come for Gazans while on a family outing or sleeping in a tent.

Ich krieg die flächendeckende "Versorgung" von #MECFS täglich mit - und sei es nur durch die Anzahl der Terminanfragen, die meine Kapazität schon lange sprengen.
