I just got an email solicitation from Semantic Scholar. It is a free online program (made by the Allen Institute to facilitate research) that makes AI generated recommendations of papers for you to read and has access to available pdfs.

The Semantic Scholar might find papers I would be interested in faster.

Anyone else had an experience with this?

It seems pretty useful. Found a bunch of new papers.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
