Genuine question: what's a good use case for a double-y-axis plot in a scientific studie?
I have not yet seen a case where visual correlation of features outweighs the confusion about which axis refers to what info (bonus points if one starts at 0 and the other doesn't)
The technique is cool, but definitely missing number of PSMs and a quantitative analysis here (precision, accuracy, extreme ratios, dilution experiment etc). Difficult to say how this would translate to a real biological study

A major Pentagon–Anthropic showdown is underway. The Pentagon is pushing for Claude to enable mass AI surveillance + autonomous drones, threatening a supply-chain-risk label or a defense production act takeover if they don’t.
Ultimatum was issued for tomorrow.
Anthropic just refused.

AI agent goes nuts on open source maintainer after having its pull request denied. This is a pretty insane story. Open source development as we've been used to for the last few decades is likely over. 1/

Das schlimmste Wort, das mir dort begegnet ist: Klima-Keulung (climate culling).
Natürlich wissen die Herrschaften ganz genau Bescheid über Planetare Grenzen. Ihre Antwort darauf ist in ähnlich abartiger Form verfasst, wie auch ihr sonstiger Umgang mit Menschen.
„Wählerinnen und Wähler haben das Gefühl, dass Politik sich nicht darum bemüht, gute Rahmenbedingungen zu schaffen. Stattdessen wird irgendetwas erzählt, um an die Macht zu kommen – und dabei gleich miterzählt, dass alle das so machen würden.“

I was getting my MPH in environmental health when the endangerment finding first allowed EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. The harm of climate change to health is real and disproportionately born by marginalized communities.
It’s gutting to see us go backwards.

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines.
