🚀🤔 Oh, woe is the professor who fears their students' ignorance more than the apocalypse! Apparently, the real cosmic threat isn't from the sky, but from bumbling humans with PhDs who might just take an eternity to solve what their supervisor could whip through in a coffee break.☕💥

Ah, the academic equivalent of finding out your state-of-the-art AI can't even manage kindergarten math 🤯. But sure, let's trust it to revolutionize humanity. 🏆 Don't miss the thrilling subplot about arXiv's existential crisis, vying for independence. 📚

Thrilled to finally share the paper @deepseek and I cooked up: a formal framework where the Special Orthogonal Group of Existentialism determines whether you’re ↑ or ↓.

An interesting study on humour in scientific talks (531 presentations, 870 jokes):

67% of jokes failed.
Only ~9% got real laughter.

Men joke slightly more, and native English speakers are more likely to succeed.

O yes... Joking in a foreign language is hard, and even in your own, it only works if the audience truly gets it.

🧐 Ah yes, Carnap.io, the digital playground where #Haskell #nerds gather to pretend that formal #logic is fun, instead of the academic equivalent of watching paint dry. 🎨🤓 But don't worry, if you're curious about this open tower of boredom, there's a thrilling "about" page waiting to underwhelm you. 📚💤

🐦🎓 Ah, the University of Texas introduces the 'Grue Jay'—because apparently, when you're out of groundbreaking ideas, you just combine random words and call it a day. Take a seat, Harvard, there's a new mascot in town, and it's concocted from the deranged Mad Libs of academia. 🙄📚
