PSA: winter holidays start today, so don't forget to take the kids' lunch boxes out of their schoolbags, or be prepared to dispose of a level 3 bioweapon in two weeks 🫣

@ennolenze Dem ersten Teil stimme ich zu, das kommt sicher häufiger vor und ist harte kognitive Dissonanz. 
Aber der zweite Teil ist deutlich zu allgemein, was heißt denn "gegen Wirtschaft"? Es gibt da ein ziemlich großes Spektrum zwischen "Nordkorea-Kommunismus" und "Konzerne fair besteuern".
Und das dritte macht durchaus Sinn: für mehr Datenschutz zu werben muss die Benutzer erreichen, und wenn die zu 90% (noch) bei Instagram hängen, sind (noch) Kompromisse nötig.

@gsuberland ooh, that's the one that looks like a concerned frog?

@hukl Theory: they currently have a metric fuckton of unused compute capacity (because far fewer people than anticipated actually use Copilot) and that looks bad on the books, so they decided to "encourage" moving runners back into the MS cloud?

Just had a look at the new @ACM "AI" summaries for my own papers... and they are basically just a rewording of the abstract, with some subtle inaccuracies thrown in. 🙄
How the hell did anyone think this is needed or even wanted? On top, it's the default in the search results if you're on a "premium" account. Yeah nah, thanks.

@Malik klingt sehr finnisch 🤔

@ketanjoshi.co anybody who uses emojis as bullet points is highly suspicious of producing bullshit.

@arstechnica

@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?
