BuyTheBy - An annotated dataset of paper mill advertisements with price data

A preprint describing this dataset has been submitted to arXiv. This entry will be updated as soon as arXiv's moderation process is complete. The study of paper mills and similar businesses operating in the market for academic and education fraud services is frustrated by the lack of market price data on their various offerings. Here, we assemble BuyTheBy, a large, annotated dataset of timestamped, text-based paper mill advertisements from seven businesses operating out of seven different countries. The dataset consists of 18,710 individual advertisements, of which 15,839 have prices listed. Among these there are 20,598 positions listed as for sale on 5,567 unique products in 14 different product categories with 51,812 timestamped price data points. Code for reproducing figures and summary statistics is available at https://github.com/reeserich/buytheby.

Toward AI Implementation of a Three-Axis Model: Procedure, Outcome, and Order as Evaluative Structure

This technical note develops a design framework for AI implementation of a three-axis model of evaluation: Procedure, Outcome, and Order. Its purpose is not to automate final judgement, but to formalise evaluative structure and make visible the weighting assumptions through which texts, events, and institutional responses are assessed. The note argues that disagreement in conflict and policy analysis often arises not from facts alone, but from different distributions of attention across procedural legitimacy, material effect, and long-horizon order. On that basis, it outlines a system design memo, prompt architecture, scoring rubric, and sample outputs for practical use. It further extends the model towards practical deployment through cumulative analysis across time windows, cross-source comparison, visual presentation of evaluative structure, and input-stage reliability filters. The central claim is that AI should function here not as a verdict machine, but as a structured aid for exposing evaluative composition, hidden priors, and alternative weighting regimes.

Midterms and the Iran War: Defining Power, Public Support, and the Post-Westphalian Transition

This paper argues that the trajectory of the U.S.–Iran war is constrained less by battlefieldcapability than by political time: elections, media-defined frames, and the durability of publicconsent. The central variable is defining power—the ability to fix the meaning of the war in afragmented information environment. The paper develops three linked claims. First, astructural conflict between the administration and established media institutions weakenscoordinated agenda-setting in wartime. Second, the reversal of diplomatic normalisation after7 October 2023 illustrates how quickly regional predictability can be undone when proxyarchitectures reintroduce high-intensity conflict. Third, the U.S. midterm cycle exerts agravitational pull towards short-term stabilisation over strategic completion, makingdefinitional power and public support decisive constraints on strategic resolve. Throughout,the paper separates factual claims from scenario-level inference and treats projections withcaution.

I wish people from #Codeberg and #Zenodo would collaborate to get the same clever integration features that allow people to preserve #GitHub releases at Zenodo. I bet people from the scientific community would like that. Is it too much to wish some big sciency inftrastructure group would fund this? ;-)

I'm going to archive stuff at Zenodo as I move out of GitHub.

Update - Tip from Ale Abdo: let's use #SoftwareHeritage !

Climate Change and Mental Health: The Hidden Impact of Temperature Fluctuations

Climate change discussions predominantly focus on ecological and economic consequences,frequently neglecting profound psychological implications. This paper examines the criticallink between temperature fluctuations and mental health stability, particularly for vulnerablepopulations with pre-existing conditions such as schizophrenia. By integrating physiologicalmechanisms—including regulatory disruption and the impairment of circadian rhythms—with personal observation and selected case contexts, this note highlights a “cascade ofvulnerability”. Special attention is given to lessons from disaster-recovery regions such asFukushima, arguing that environmental stability must be recognised as a medical necessity.The paper concludes that proactive mental health infrastructure and climate adaptationstrategies are essential for a resilient and equitable society. This paper is non-clinical andnon-diagnostic, and it does not propose diagnostic criteria or treatment protocols.
