essa narrativa de "todo mundo tá enrolado com o Vorcaro" só serve pra ajudar quem tá enrolado com o Vorcaro. claro que a extensão da rede dele impressiona, mas não é "todo mundo", e é o nosso lado quem precisa martelar isso sem parar. Lula não tá enrolado com Vorcaro.

I’ve been thinking about why it can be so difficult for some colleagues from the Global North to understand fossil-protection laws in Brazil and in other countries where fossils are treated as part of the national heritage rather than as private property.

👀"German airport worker dies of malaria after 'mosquito arrives on plane'" 🛬🦟https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz6zwgg9y8go

Screenshot reading "A Frankfurt Airport worker has died of malaria after a rare outbreak led to six employees contracting the serious infection spread by mosquitoes.

It is believed the mosquitoes arrived at Germany's busiest airport on a plane, according to German public health officials.

The remaining five infected individuals are receiving medical treatment, a spokesperson for airport operator Fraport said.

Traps have been installed at the airport and mosquitoes captured will be analysed in a laboratory to determine their species and origin.

"Sadly, we must confirm that one employee has died as a result of the infection," the Fraport spokesperson told the BBC.

"We have provided comprehensive information to all employees and encourage them to consult a doctor if they experience any symptoms."

The outbreak is being investigated by the Frankfurt Public Health Department.

The BBC understands that six male airport workers in different jobs and different areas of the airport were infected, and officials are analysing blood samples to determine if they were infected by one mosquito or six different mosquitoes."

ArXiV has a new LLM policy (Screenshots with alt text so you don’t have to click through to the other place and see all the stupid responses)

Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated. 1/

If generative AI tools generate inappropriate language, plagiarized content, biased content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references, or misleading content, and that output is included in scientific works, it is the responsibility of the author(s). 2/

We have recently clarified our penalties for this. If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can't trust anything in the paper. 3/

The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue. 4/

Examples of incontrovertible evidence: hallucinated references, meta-comments from the LLM ("here is a 200 word summary; would you like me to make any changes?"; "the data in this table is illustrative, fill it in with the real numbers from your experiments") end/
