And a quite true observation: politicians seem to be more brazen in taken advantage of their positions. This is certainly true in Spain. No need to say anything about the US. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I am wondering how much of this is true in every modern country. Purchasing government stuff is a complete nightmare. And technically my research institute is part of our country administration, so it applies to us. Reforming it would be a welcome improvement. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/08/o...

Google Maps was indicating that a highway on my way home was closed to traffic. It was false. Is it possible to hack Google Maps?

Are the days of review papers ending?. My take is that due to AI their days are counted. They are usually very well cited. However, they are often used to boost journals IF and while some are very useful which select good references from noise, many are not.

Voted on the european elections. However, in Spain I have not heard much about Europe, just local politics. Of which the discussion is pretty low level. I miss real European parties discussing European problems. Of which we have many to choose from. But I also miss more integration...

Kind of overwhelmed in some way. War with Russia (Europe should enforce a no fly zone ASAP), the US elections (a crazy guy that makes me understand why Hitler won, at least intellectually), the Spain's president melodrama (which is basically soap opera)... And AI being real after all this time.

Finished reading "Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World", from Peter Goodman. Of course, we are still wondering how this story will end.

After six years, the hard disk of our low-energy electron microscope died suddenly. Big pain. Yes, no backup of the configuration (data is fine). Oh, well. After one day everything is running again, thanks to Uwe@Elmitec for all the help!
