@cdarwin@c.imWhile much of the recent interest in Jeffrey Epstein has focused on the late sexual predator’s relationship with Donald Trump,
his emails also reveal his close relationships with other powerful figures from the worlds of politics, finance, academia and beyond.
The thousands of files released by the House Oversight Committee earlier this month include his correspondence from April 2011 through January 2019, after he was already a registered sex offender for abusing underage girls…

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scotIf the use of #GenerativeAI continues to grow in academia, are universities which wish to maintain a reputation for excellence going to be forced to move to examining undergraduates by viva?
It is the only thing I can think of that would work, but it would be hugely expensive.
@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaAcademia na segunda (mesmo que eu tenha acordado tarde e feito pouca coisa). Ontem andei igual a um camelo no centro. E hoje teve Pilates e um pouco de academia. Caramba, a sensação é de ter sido surrado por um time completo de jogadores de hockey rs.
@brian_gettler@mas.toI'm worried that if I don't come up with some batshit or vaguely antisocial behavior quick, they're going to make me take on more consequential admin work. The bar for appointment as chair really is wildly low.

@deprogrammaticaipsum@mas.to"Speaking about jokes, “Considered Harmful” is one of the most recurring ones in the history of programming. Not that the countless papers, blog posts, videos, podcast episodes, and conference talks that featured these two words as a suffix were funny, but because it is a trigger: one that fires up specific alarms in the systems of software developers, immediately commanding our utmost attention."

@mxp@mastodon.acm.orgMany of us probably hope that we’ll get back to normal when the #genAI bubble bursts, but this isn’t going to happen. In academia, genAI *does* work, in the sense of: for many people it solves a lot of problems, and removes the need for like doing homework, reading, writing, learning, and, yes, thinking. Who cares whether its “ethical” or whatever, everybody’s using it!

Consegui limpar uma pequena parte dos meus livros, então nem dš pra dizer que fiz menos coisas do que deveria hoje (a planilha diz 103%) mas os números referentes Š prštica de exercícios físicos estão todos abaixo do vermelho. 😬

@stefan@gardenstate.socialIt's weird for me to hear anyone say the word "Academia" without putting Dark in from of it.
@mxp@mastodon.acm.orgAnd here’s what I’m trying to get at: when the bubble bursts, many “AI” “applications” will disappear, but #genAI is here to stay in academia. Companies will discover students and academics as a market and, when the free offers go away, inevitably crank up the prices. But as students have already become dependent on #genAI

@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaEstes primeiros dias de 2026 não têm saído nada como o planejado. O dormir/acordar progressivamente mais cedo estš sendo muito mais difícil do que o esperado. Por conta disso, eu hoje perdi a primeira sessão de Pilates/academia do ano. 😞
O negócio é persistir, apesar do início ruim. Fiz uns alongamentos em casa, é pouco mas ainda é melhor do que nada.

Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …
@mxp@mastodon.acm.orgSome people now argue that LLMs are useless. I disagree; they can be very useful if you take them as what they are: models of language that generate text on the basis of some given text. As such, they can be useful for a wide range of text-related tasks, including assisting with writing. And the more formulaic the genre, the better they work obviously. This is part of the reason why they are so popular with students, and in academia more generally.

@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaEstou todo dolorido por conta do Pilates/Academia de ontem. O dia seguinte é sempre "Aonde raios eu estava com a cabeça na hora em que decidi que iria abandonar o sedentarismo?!" rs
@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaQuanto tempo demora para isso de ir pro Pilates/academia deixar de parecer que você foi atropelado por um caminhão e gerar uma sensação de bem-estar e energia? 😞
Só espero que isso realmente aconteça eventualmente e não seja só caô de vocês rs.
@buercher@tooting.chTheory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. In our lab, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why.

@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaOntem e na quarta eu fui na academia e no Pilates, depois de mais de um mês faltando continuamente. Eu acho que minhas pernas vão cair. 😬
@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaDia razoavelmente produtivo. Isso e ter finalmente conseguido voltar ao Pilates/Academia estš me dando uma sensação boa, de coisas empacadas hš tempos finalmente deslanchando.
@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaHoje finalmente voltei pra academia/Pilates, depois de mais um mês sem aparecer. Eu até queria poder dizer que foi fruto de minha força de vontade e ganhar alguns biscoitos de vocês. Mas a verdade é que eu estava cansado, não consegui dormir cedo, jš havia desistido de ir e até desligado o despertador. Eu só fui porque o gato decidiu que queria ração nova bem cedo e ficou mordendo minha perna até eu levantar da cama rs.
@matematico314@social.linux.pizzaUé, me pesei agora e estou com o mesmo peso da última vez. Como assim, eu fui pro Pilates e pra academia ontem e ainda não perdi dois quilos?! rs

@buercher@tooting.chWhat academics say and what they mean
Various sources - I forgot the name and author of that one paper
A promising area for an initial study - I have to do this to get funding
An extensive literature review - A quick Google search
Is impossible to summarise simply - I still don’t understand
Approaching the traditional threshold for statistical significance - Not significant
More research is required - I need funding
