> looks like duplication. why not arxiv? could lead to multiple submission pipelines

Arxiv is for preprints, this is full peer-reviewed publishing. It replaces academic journals, not preprint repositories like arxiv.

> as I understand researchers still pay to publish, no?

They mention Diamond Open Access, so probably not

> initiative could lead to centralization of publishing power

Publishing power is already incredibly centralized in hands of a few oligopolistic publishers

> the problem is not just in access to papers (what about connection to business and real applications)

Not sure what this point means and how it's relevant to this initiative

> the article is published by CERN and is promotion (vague on details, buzzword-heavy)

Idk, seems pretty specific to me


> Arxiv is for preprints, this is full peer-reviewed publishing. It replaces academic journals, not preprint repositories like arxiv.

not exactly, they publish first, reviews happen afterwards, often not approved

> They mention Diamond Open Access, so probably not

not exactly, Diamond Open Access - is still an action plan, access is free only for EU-funded researchers (EU commission actually pays)

> few oligopolistic publishers

sounds interesting, who do you mean?

> Not sure what this point means and how it's relevant to this initiative

the initiative is about "sharing knowledge". wonder what is the real purpose

> Idk, seems pretty specific to me

"open science", "equitable access", "flagship initiative" etc.


That's not Arxiv's role. Arxiv does not manage any review process. It merely hosts preprints. The reviews will happen if you submit to an actual journal or conference, which is entirely independent of the arxiv submission.

Are you replying to the wrong comment? The person you're responding to seems to make the same point

Self-reported studies are arguably weaker evidence, but are common in some areas for ethics reasons. In general, if errors are truly random, than they will cancel out over larger/frequent population samples.

The study conclusion inferred the skills needed to be effective at some task, are the same skills needed to correctly evaluate if you are actually proficient at the same tasks.

Or put another way, the <5% population of narcissists by their nature become evasive when their egos are perceived as threatened. Thus, often will pose a challenge in a team setting, as compulsive lying or LLM turd-polishing is orthogonal to most real world tasks.

People are not as unique as they like to believe, and spotting problems is trivial after you meet around 3000 people. Best to avoid the nonsense, and get outside to enjoy life. Have a great day =3



Andrew King seems to be the person who published the original exposé of the paper:

Which law are you talking about? Genuine question, because I know about EU laws that are "in the name of privacy" and about those that (arguably) "hinder innovation", but I don't know which one fits both

At time of writing, I was thinking of GDPR.

See for example

Thanks, that's pretty damning, in particular sending every visited domain to the browser vendor under the guise of "safe browsing". Really sad to see a former world-class browser stooping so low.

And I really couldn't care less if the browser vendor or their servers are in the US, China, or even any supposed "data privacy haven". It's simply none of their business which websites I visit.

For the same reason I'm not using Chrome, which intentionally kneecaps browser history sync when sync encryption is enabled, effectively forcing users to choose between non-synced history and privacy, when e.g. Firefox manages to do encrypted sync just fine.

This is novel to me - what's the kneecap specifically? How do you only kinda sync browser history??


Chrome only syncs "typed URL" (i.e. everything you enter in the address bar/"omnibox") website visits when your profile is encrypted, as far as I remember. "True" history sync is somehow tied to Google's generic "activity sync", which only exists unencrypted.

For me, this completely defeats the point of having history sync in the first place, so this particular change was what made me switch browsers several years ago.


That doesn't say anything about them tapering with archive content

Yes it does. The last section of the article.

https://megalodon.jp/2026-0219-1634-10/https://archive.ph:44...

This is an archive of an Archive.is archive of a blog post. The first sentence of the post says “ Jani Patokallio was a woman of exceptional intellect…” This was changed, it originally had someone else’s name (see second paragraph). So, who knows what other archived pages were changed?


But haven't you heard that systemd is an evil project made by Microsoft to somehow destroy Linux and make everyone use Windows? It must be true because I saw it on Reddit.


The name is pretty similar, but looks like there is where the similarities end.

You are correct, it is indeed a route for the web interface
