MP3: Anatomy of an Audio File
|
The MP3 format revolutionized the way we consume and share media, but have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in an MP3 file? How does it work that an audio asset can be searched and found using text? Understanding the structure of an MP3 file can provide valuable insights into how multimedia content is stored, encoded, and organized. Textual metadata allows users to enrich media content with descriptive information such as titles, artists, and genres. Whether you're a casual listener or a multimedia enthusiast, knowing the inner workings of these file formats can deepen your appreciation for the digital audio experiences we enjoy every day.

Research Integrity and Citation Cartels
|
The Chronicle of Higher Education recently published an article titled "The Dark World of Citation Cartels" that details how predatory research journals, combined with bad-faith scholars, are gaming the system at scale and producing significant distrust that impacts the entire scholarly publishing ecosystem. Citations have long been important and advancing one's career depends on this form of scholarly recognition. However, driven by the imperative to secure academic impact, a new dark force is emerging in which a group of authors collude to cite one another's publications in order to increase citation counts. These citation cartels have a profound impact on academic leadership, the scholarly publishing ecosystem, and the general public's trust and understanding of the scientific process.

Everyone can get a foundational understanding of what generative AI is, how it works, what are its limitations, and what all of us need to know to co-exist with this technology.
