The quality standard of peer review, especially within computer science, is declining. I've read lots of papers only to discover obvious method flaws or dishonest statistics. With a simple comment section, this would be trivial to filter out. And don't get me started on the price for publication and for readers that supposedly fund this "detailed peer review process" that misses so many obvious flaws. The peer review…

I agree. Journals have been publishing "responses" for ages, so there always has been a "comment section" of sorts. But it could be so much easier! Personally I haven't really seen or been involved in a response. It would not surprise me if that tradition is dying because it's so much easier to comment somewhere on the internet where some people will see it. But of course without an official endorsement from the jour…

A critical original response should be accepted as true and be advertised at the top of the paper if not responded to within 14 days. The response should involve corrections or a timely planning for it.

I don't like how software has to be actively maintained to be usable or taken serious but the results are hard to question.

Nice idea. I recommend defaulting to Top Rated. For better or worse, it makes the product look more mature. Also, there's an issue with click propagation on the sort drop down. I had to click between Top Rated and back a few times because the click kept causing the underlying post to open. FWIW, this was on mobile.

Really appreciate the feedback, thanks will sort out these issues

When I saw Research Papers I expected a Health category, any chance?

Yes! Actually part of my original idea was centered on this; wanted to combine different media sources like research papers + podcasters like Andrew Huberman. I WANT SO BAD some sort of high-quality health science site that has wide consensus/discussion on treatments, nutrition, exercise, etc. that also can live and breath like Wikipedia

Can you explain? Don't know what a Lemmy instance is. I did think about using time decay to give a more HN-like experience but haven't gotten around to implementing it yet.

Looks amazing. Thank you. I'd like to hear your opinions on moderation, if you have the opportunity.

Thanks for the kind words. Moderation...seems like a necessary component of any functional social/content network thing. Ideally I find some people who can do it well and compensate them some how. I really want to have the community be high quality like HN and not become a meme-o-plex like reddit or twitter. What are your thoughts on the subject?

I'm glad to meet you. I was talking last night about your work in [[2024.05.23 - Link Log: Normienet Brainworms]] with [[my family|2024.05.23 - Carpe Tempus Segmentum: Smash]]. I'm brainstorming and drafting my response here (you'll see the >tag lifted soon enough): https://h0p3.neocities.org/#2024.05.23%20-%20sleno%3A%20Drea...
