We all perform tasks in our day-to-day work that are considered 'non-promotable' – these are crucial for project success, but they won't get you promoted. This is commonly known as 'glue work', a term coined by Tanya Reilly. Join Fatima Taj at this year's Berlin Buzzwords as she shares her personal experience of narrowly avoiding the trap of being permanently stuck with glue work, and explains how to handle similar situations.

Limiting the Shrinkage for the Exceptional by Objective Robust Bayesian Analysis: the `Clemente Problem'
In `borrowing strength' an important problem of Statistics is to treat exceptional cases in a fundamentally different. This is what has been coined as `the Clemente problem' in honor of R. Clemente (Efron 2010). In this article, we propose to use robust penalties, in the form of losses that penalize more severely huge errors, or (equivalently) priors of heavy tails which make more probable the exceptional. Using heavy tailed priors, we can reproduce in a Bayesian way Efron and Morris `limited t…

Kernel-based Greedy Approximation of Parametric Elliptic Boundary Value Problems
We recently introduced a scale of kernel-based greedy schemes for approximating the solutions of elliptic boundary value problems. The procedure is based on a generalized interpolation framework in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and was coined PDE-$β$-greedy procedure, where the parameter $β\geq 0$ is used in a greedy selection criterion and steers the degree of function adaptivity. Algebraic convergence rates have been obtained for Sobolev-space kernels and solutions of finite smoothness.…

Russia's persecution of Ukrainian clergy is part of an organized genocidal campaign: https://benborges.xyz/2025/05/29/russias-persecution-of-ukrainian-clergy.html

We have in fact encountered similar things to "linguistic sequence processing". Bullshit artists, politicians with the "truthiness" of Ronald Reagan (coined by a comedian at the time). I have had personal experience being a rabbit in a spotlight where this kind of "thinking" kicks in. Got out of that game, thankfully.

LangScene-X: Reconstruct Generalizable 3D Language-Embedded Scenes with TriMap Video Diffusion
Recovering 3D structures with open-vocabulary scene understanding from 2D images is a fundamental but daunting task. Recent developments have achieved this by performing per-scene optimization with embedded language information. However, they heavily rely on the calibrated dense-view reconstruction paradigm, thereby suffering from severe rendering artifacts and implausible semantic synthesis when limited views are available. In this paper, we introduce a novel generative framework, coined LangS…

Reappraising the Elatina series: Solar dynamo clocking and inference of orbital periods
We reconsider the 680 million year old Elatina series of sedimentary laminae from South Australia that show a remarkably stable periodicity with a main period of around 12 years, which is close to the Schwabe cycle, and a second period of 314 years that has been coined Elatina cycle. By analyzing the residuals of the series' minima from a linear trend, and deriving Dicke's ratio, we first show that the series exhibits a high degree of phase stability, except one single break point which may ind…

i wonder if brainrot humor worked the same way back before the internet existed. like did victorian era youth make themselves laugh by inserting vulgar slang or opium and alcohol or women dressing like men or charles darwin or edgy jack the ripper references into phrases coined within a children's author / humorist's "nonsense book" or whatever trashy pulp magazines were popular

Coining "#malcompetence" to mean "actions & their outcomes which are consistent with incompetence but which have an overall malicious effect, especially when the incompetence manifests differently in different situations to produced de facto discrimination."
Malcompetence can run the gamut from actual intentional malice disguised to appear as incompetence, to subconsciously coordinated malicious incompetence that the perpetrator is not consciously aware of but which a less subconsciously biased person would not engage in, to truly unintentional incompetence which manifests in a pattern because of bias in oversight/attention/competence-building. These different root causes are often not distinguishable, and sometimes blend together.

Okay, so it looks like I'm not the only one to have coined this term, but I think digging into the different types is still useful.
