@weirdunits a very small number

@NanoRaptor Wasn't there an account posting cursed footprints somewhere on fedi?

Undated find from my random picture folder, enjoy 😁 (might have been at University of Regensburg a bunch of years ago?)

@futzle @weirdunits I was rather thinking about how much weight the average mathematician gains while working on their next paper...

@maltevogl @julian ooooh nice, thanks for sharing!

@julian It's about citation visualization and comparing between institutions - so it's not such a big issue if there are e.g. fewer citations on OpenAlex as long as the data comes from the same source. Didn't know you can send corrections, how does that work?

@Unixbigot Gobshites indeed, all around 😑 Thanks for the cookie, Wullie.

I've had it with #Google #Scholar. Currently trying to do a little bit of automated bibliometrics, and there's a ton of Scholar parsers on Github in various states of brokenness, sometimes with fully integrated proxy support and Selenium backend and whatnot so it doesn't get banhammered... 
Yeah nah, I'm just going with OpenAlex now which 
a) has a proper API, 
b) actually knows what a DOI is, and 
c) has much higher-quality data than GS.

@fraggle I played Command & Conquer as a kid in Germany, and it had the exact same "unbloody" mode. I still remember the weird explodey-shutdown noise the "robots" made when they got blown up.

@futzle I'm in this post and I don't like it 😑😉

@weirdunits something like 10^35?

@simulo not by default, but you can just put something like "); DROP DATABASE xxx;" into data.UserEmail.

@masek as opposed to the Nvidia-OpenAI-Microsoft 100Bn circle-jerk, I'm pretty sure Disney will actually want to see real money, so that's a very real 1Bn hole in OpenAI's finances. Let's see if that accelerates a certain bubble popping. 😈

My 2nd-year students sent me a code snippet to review... I'm not super familiar with the express.js framework they've been using, but I do think little Bobby Tables might like to have a word 😈

@rasterinterrupt nice, but it should be 22, no? 🤓

@cryptohagen Yeah nah, ain't gonna happen. Not travelling to the US anytime soon 😑

@leyrer oooh that's on par with the great Max Headroom TV hack 👌

@cwebber cryptology X furries ~= Fediverse. This tracks 👌

@regehr @pinskia having used a bunch of Perl back in ye olden days, and now being mostly on Python, I think that's exactly the point: you can write understandable Perl, but it requires effort. You can also write convoluted Python, but that requires effort as well 🤷

@pg All online nerdry eventually converges into an XKCD comic 👍
