Bill Gray, a 75-year-old, Stanford-trained doctor based in California, claims on his website that he can treat almost any patient’s health problems through personalized, “homeopathic” audio recordings sent via email. But the California medical board is having none of it. Earlier this month, it filed a five-page …

An anonymous reader shares an excerpt from a report via The Guardian, written by Neil Lawrence, the founding editor of the freely available journal Proceedings of Machine Learning Research: Machine learning has demonstrated that an academic field can not only survive, but thrive, without the involvement of commercial publishers. But this has not stopped traditional publishers from entering the market. Our success has caught their attention. Most recently, the publishing conglomerate Springer Nature announced a new journal targeted at the community called Nature Machine Intelligence. The publisher now has 53 journals that bear the Nature name. Should we be concerned? What would drive authors and readers towards a for-profit subscription journal when we already have an open model for sharing our ideas? Academic publishers have one card left to play: their brand. The diversity and quantity of academic research means that it is difficult for a researcher in one field to rate the work in another. Sometimes a journal’s brand is used as a proxy for quality. When academics look for promotion, having papers in a “brand-name journal” can be a big help. Nature is the Rolex of academic publishing. But in contrast to Rolex, whose staff are responsible for the innovation in its watches, Nature relies on academics to provide its content. We are the watchmakers, they are merely the distributors.
Many in our research community see the Nature brand as a poor proxy for academic quality. We resist the intrusion of for-profit publishing into our field. As a result, at the time of writing, more than 3,000 researchers, including many leading names in the field from both industry and academia, have signed a statement refusing to submit, review or edit for this new journal. We see no role for closed access or author-fee publication in the future of machine-learning research. We believe the adoption of this new journal as an outlet of record for the machine-learning community would be a retrograde step.

OpenSourceAllTheWay writes: In the world of 2D and 3D Visual Content Creation, new tricks that ship with commercial 2D or 3D software are almost always advertised as “fantastically innovative”. But when you do some digging as to who precisely invented the new “trick” or “method” and when, you often find that it was first pioneered many many years ago by some little known computer graphics researcher(s) at a university somewhere. Case in point, a flashy new 3D VR software that was released in 2018 was actually based around a 3D calculation method first patented almost 10 years ago. Sometimes you even find that the latest computer graphics software tricks go back to little-known computer graphics research papers published anywhere from 15 to 25 years ago. So the question: What, in mid-2018, is the latest and greatest in 2D or 3D computer graphics research? And which academic/scientific publications or journals should one follow to keep abreast of the latest in computer graphics research?

Greetings, Arsians! Courtesy of our friends at TechBargains, we have another round of deals to share. Today’s list is led by a leftover Memorial Day deal on LG’s B7A OLED TVs, as Dell has dropped the 65-inch model down to $1,900. That’s a drop of around $500 from its usual going rate. The deal also includes a $300 gift card for Dell’s online shop, which should come in handy for those in need of new PC accessories.
A few things to note: Dell says the gift card will arrive via email sometime within 20 days, and it will expire if it’s not used within 90 days. Second, the B7A is about a year old at this point, so this looks like another example of a TV manufacturer blowing out its old inventory to make way for new models. By most accounts, though, LG’s new C8 series isn’t a drastic step forward from a picture-quality standpoint. New models support Google Assistant, trade some peak brightness for better motion handling, and include a new color-management system to help those who get their TVs calibrated achieve better accuracy. But for the most part, the new models aren’t a major leap compared to the already-excellent picture from last year’s sets.
More importantly for the Dealmaster’s purposes, the new 65-inch set likely won’t reach this low of a price for a few months. Right now, it’s going for around $3,500. If you don’t want to wait until the holidays, if you plan to make use of that gift card, and if you’re OK not having the absolute best mainstream TV out there, this is one of the few times we can call a $1,900 product a decent deal. Note that LG is selling the 55-inch B7A for $600 less, though we’ve seen that model sit around that price in the past.
