When will scientists just self-publish?
It’s commonplace in my field (nuclear physics) to share the preprint version of your article, typically on arxiv.org. You can update the article as you respond to peer reviewers too. The only difference between this and the paywalls publisher version is that version will have additional formatting edits by the journal.
If you search for articles on google scholar, it groups the preprint and published versions together so it’s easy to find the non-paywalled copy. The standard journals I publish in even sort of encourage this; you can submit the latex documents and figures by just putting the url to an arxiv manuscript.
The US Department of Energy now requires any research they fund be made publicly available. So any article I publish is also automatically posted to osti.gov 1 year after its initial publication. This version is also grouped into the google scholar search results.
It’s an imperfect system, but it’s getting much better than it was even just a decade ago.

Source is Department of Mind-Blowing Theories by Tom Gauld. I skimmed through some other comics from the book and it’s a goldmine of content for this community. It’s also absolutely something my SO and I would enjoy, so I ordered a copy.
Thanks for sharing!

- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 1 month ago:
I am not reading your comment, I am simply traveling through it with my eyeballs. Also your comment doesn’t have gold fringe and therefore lacks jurisdiction.
- Comment on Catholic 'media ministry' defrocks AWOL AI priest after it told faithful you can baptise babies in Gatorade and that, sure, it can totally perform your wedding 1 month ago:
but women (who are human beings)
Is that actually the church’s stance? Like, has the pope ever said this?

God forbid they elect Mark Robinson as governor, then you have state level oppression again.
I lived in Chapel Hill during the 2016 election. The one silver lining to that Election Day was voting Pat McCrory out of office after his own bathroom bill nonsense.
- Comment on Peak technology 3 months ago:
I’m guessing they signed up for HP Instant Ink, a monthly subscription service that monitors the ink levels in the printer and automatically mails you refills.
If you buy an HP printer, they HEAVILY promote this and offer discounts/free trials. I declined, because fuck that, but I could see someone agreeing and forgetting about it.

- Comment on U.S. Govt and researchers seemingly discover new type of superconductivity in an exotic, crystal-like material — controllable variation breaks temperature records 6 months ago:
It’s already been published. But it’s superconducting at 10 K. This is a new high temperature record, but pretty far from room temperature.
- Comment on Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times 6 months ago:
They’ve been doing studies of what would be required for ignition for a while, but have never demonstrated ignition using the Z machine.
If they did have ignition, there’s no way they would’ve let LLNL claim to be first and enjoy all the media attention.
- Comment on Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times 6 months ago:
Nah, the Z machine never achieved ignition. That doesn’t mean it’s not a really cool facility though!
- Comment on Correlation, maybe causation? 7 months ago:
Interestingly, the journal editors have released an expression of concern earlier this year for this article and others by the same author.
SAGE Publishing has been made aware of scientific concerns regarding the work of Dr. Nicholas Guéguen. Multiple concerns have been raised regarding the integrity of the research including but not limited to concerns around data fidelity, replicability of findings, and ethical consent and oversight for studies involving human participants. SAGE Publishing’s Research Integrity Team, in cooperation with this journal’s editors, are currently conducting an investigation into these articles.
This expression of concern will remain in place until the investigation is completed and any further needs for appropriate action have been taken.
- Comment on ‘ChatGPT detector’ catches AI-generated papers with unprecedented accuracy 7 months ago:
The article is reporting on a published journal article. Surely that’s a good start?
- Comment on I'm a professional. 8 months ago:
I agree that anything generated by an LLM will need human verification for accuracy, but scientific abstracts are one of the few areas where LLMs can be immediately useful. I’ve played with having ChatGPT create abstracts in subjects that I’m familiar with and it’s been surprisingly good. It even respects word limits. If you have a block of text that needs to be condensed, ChatGPT can probably get you most of the way there.
For example, I had chatGPT summarize your comment in 5 words:
“Summarizing scientific articles demands precision.”

- Comment on Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube Music 8 months ago:
Having YouTube premium means I can use it on any platform. I can use YouTube music on my phone with CarPlay and listen while driving, use the built-in YouTube app that hotel TVs have when I travel for work, watch things on my work computer, on my phone, or using my PS5.
- Comment on Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024 with listeners migrated to YouTube Music 8 months ago:
You can use the YouTube music app with a standard (free) YouTube account, at least on iOS. But the audio only keeps playing in the background if you pay for YouTube music. And I think you can’t download music to play offline.
For what it’s worth, YouTube Premium ($14/ month) includes YouTube music and removes ads for YouTube.

Nah, that was ARPANET. The internet (www) was invented because particle physicists were too lazy to carry magnetic tapes with experimental data around CERN.

Agreed! I really enjoyed Oculus, and I’m especially impressed with how well Flanagan has handled adaptations of Stephen King novels (Gerald’s Game and Dr. Sleep).
- Comment on Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’ 9 months ago:
It’s important to read the full quote from Rivian’s CEO before complaining about $75k electric trucks:
“I think the reality of buying a combustion-powered vehicle … is sort of like building a horse barn in 1910,” he said. “Imagine buying a Chevy Suburban in 2030 … what are you going to do with that … in 10 years?”
He’s comparing buying a Rivian truck with buying a Suburban, which has a base price of $57k for the lowest tier configuration (LS) and a $76k price on the High Country configuration.
