@b0rk_reruns This needs to be heard by all the people in academia. When you design a poster or write your paper make sure your main takeaways are clear and are on the first page. See “How to write a great research paper" by Simon Peyton Jones (with presentation typeset in Comic Sans) and the whole better poster movement.

RE: https://indieweb.social/@tg/116273984980325701
Great advice not only for devs but for early career scientists.
"That means that you can take risks. You can ignore the prior art. You can push further and discover what your tastes are and how you might make better software, and differently shaped software. Use those new powers to build the future, not to another piece of the past."
Too many find a niche early on where they can publish lots of papers and get grants and then never leave or stray too far.

Came across this essay this morning and think it is worth sharing. We can not talk enough about the achievements of all the great women out there!

University grad college distributes (university-wide via email) a flyer created by graduate student announcing their thesis defense. Flyer was created by genAI and in top left corner is a badly botched rendition of the university logo.
I vomit a bit in my throat.
Should I point this out during the student's public presentation?

Just signed "An open letter from educators who refuse the call to adopt GenAI in education" because I believe the purpose of education is to foster critical thinking and independence. GenAI is the opposite of this, pretending it can think for you and making you dependent on its sellers.

@steveroyle Done!
IMHO it would be nice if @biorxivpreprint and @medrxivpreprint would accept theoretical / conceptual preprints (as far as I know they are rejected on screening, unless it changed recently). So I made that suggestion on the survey.#biorxiv #medrxiv #biology #science #research #academicchater

I got a very odd spam/scam email yesterday. Someone said he wants to apply for a 'professor position' at my institution and wants to know the contact info of the people responsible for 'academic hiring'. This was obvious nonsense, but I don't understand the purpose of this email in the context of spam or scams.

Being able to have an account on a professional society's Mastodon instance is a nice perq I wish more professional societies would run with. @academicchatter

I’ve been producing public-facing academic #podcasts for a few years now and it has changed my practice. So I teamed up with a group of others in academia doing the same thing to talk about the impact this media is having on science. #academicchater

““People who pay attention to LLM successes at mastering language rules and patterns jump to concluding that these models are learning to think,” Ivanova said. “People who pay attention to LLM’s failures in language use dismiss them altogether, ignoring their successes at learning rules and patterns.”” - To understand language models, we must separate “language” from “thought” https://bdtechtalks.com/2023/02/20/llm-dissociating-language-and-thought/ @linguistics #linguistics #chatGPT #LLMs #thought #AI #AcademicChater

A shocking response from a university professor. She got Erasmus+ Internship grant and applied to a lab at Stockholm University. He declined the student because Turkey doesn't support Sweden to join NATO. Weird!
