rhythmisaprancer, in Scientists Identify The Optimal Number of Daily Steps For Longevity, And It's Not 10,000

I don't understand why they use steps. Who counts steps? It is more individualized than a distance, but my gosh, who is out there saying 4,981, 4,982, ...? I know roughly the distance of my pace and could convert.

It really sounds like we need folks to get out and do it, tho!

For adults aged 60 and older, this reduced risk topped out at around 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day. Pushing further might have other benefits, but a reduced chance of death isn't one.

The study found that those who are younger could do well to walk a little more, but there wasn't evidence that they'd necessarily live longer by walking more than 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day.

As for the rate of steps, the team found volume is what really matters.

Hmm well that explains why I am a hairy morning person!

TH1NKTHRICE, in Sorbonne University unsubscribes from the Web of Science

My first question was, what is the alternative? Here’s the answer:

…now working to consolidate a sustainable, international alternative, in particular by using OpenAlex.

EmptyRadar, in Strange object found trapped near Uranus

Wow, I wonder if this will impact Uranus in any way?

We either need to rename Uranus to the traditional spelling of Ouranos to stop all this childish teasing, or we need to lean in harder and have the Onion get final edit on every single scientific publication on that planet.

They fixed it in Futurama.l to avoid those childish jokes.

They renamed it Urectum.

admiralteal,

you - Rahn - oos

You don't even need to change the spelling, just pronounce it a way that better resembles the underlying Greek. Problem is, no English-speaker needs to think about pronunciation for the other planets because the latin is just pronounced phonetically.

It's weird that it's the one Greek-named planet. If we're changing things up, it should just be Caelus to match the others.

oo rah noos

"U" is not pronounced like "you" at all. "Noos" is also pretty off.

SkyNTP, in ChatGPT generates fake data set to support scientific hypothesis

LLM’s are basically just really good bullshit generators (telling you what you want to hear).

Turns out that’s part of the job description of tech support agents, and some low brow art.

For all the other jobs people claimed AI could replace, bullshitting is antithetical to the job description

No

Yorick, in Does a volcanic eruption emit more carbon dioxide than human activity?

2 Sentence Summary: No, we emit about 40 to a 100 times the CO2 of a volcanic eruption (peer-reviewed study) in a year. Though they still have quite an impact with the particulates they throw off in the atmosphere, such as sulphur dioxide.
