| | | | | Arguably, computers and faster communication systems have changed the world more than any other technology. Yet there have been many scientific failures along the way, some prominent, many minor, and a widening gap between aspirations and reality. This article discusses the problem of pseudoscience in computer science. I discuss Richard Feynman's coined term "cargo cult science," as he said: "Everywhere I see computer scientists that look like they are working on the right thing, but the thing actually doesn't work." I offer guidance on how to stay away of this dangerous practice, from a scientific standpoint. | |

| | | | | The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC)a system of ocean currents in the North Atlantichas a major impact on climate, yet its evolution during the industrial era is poorly known owing to a lack of direct current measurements. Here we provide evidence for a weakening of the AMOC by about 3?±?1 sverdrups (around 15 per cent) since the mid-twentieth century. This weakening is revealed by a characteristic spatial and seasonal sea-surface temperature fingerprintconsisting of a pattern of coolin... | |

| | | [AI summary] The discussion revolves around the interpretation of quantum mechanics, particularly focusing on the Frauchiger-Renner thought experiment and the transactional interpretation (TI) as a viable physical explanation. Key points include the critique of instrumentalism, the role of decoherence in classical emergence, and the distinction between self-reference and self-measurement in quantum systems. The conversation highlights the importance of physical interpretations of quantum mechanics that address the nature of reality and measurement, while also addressing common misconceptions and errors in quantum thought experiments. | ||
