Would I sell my soul and use Meta’s or Twitter’s research API? Prob not.

It is extremely irresponsible, in my opinion, for professors to write in assignment answers for TAs “see lecture slides”. This is not an answer, and we both know it.

Sometimes I think about the fact that marginal utility of buying new versions of noise cancelling headphones is clearly higher than their prices, and yet I cannot buy any because of budget constraints.

I forgot to check email before joining a meeting again!! What a poor overworked brain.

Different majors / professions nurture different ways of thinking…

Was chatting in a workshop with the organiser, who’s from another uni. Said their IT department dislikes Moodle because it is open source. What? Why?How? What kind of CS education led to that conclusion?

Just a little note about bots.

We just revived our old bots over at QOTO. You can find a list of the bots at the end of this post

One note: The arXiv bots are very noisy. As such we set them up to only go off once a day, in the middle of the night when the server usage is minimal. This should reduce any spam and not bury the posts of other users in the timeline.

@time - Toots the time every 15 minutes, unlisted so wont show int he home timeline unless you follow it.

@HN - Posts hacker news every 3 hours except when the server isn't active.

@arxiv_stats - Posts new arXiv papers on Statistics

@arxiv_bio - Posts new arXiv papers on Quantitative Biology

@arxiv_math - Posts new arXiv papers on Mathematics

@arxiv_eess - Posts new arXiv papers on Electrical Engineering & Systems Science

@arxiv_physics - Posts new arXiv papers on Physics

@arxiv_stats - Posts new arXiv papers on Statistics.

@starfleet - an auto-follow bot that follows people from around the fediverse in order to increase QOTO's federation.

Dear @freemo , do you know if there are lists of utility bots like the arXiv bots recently on the LTL? (Also, is that against the server rules? Not annoyed, just saying…)

“Sibling inequality and parental investment decisions”… what a sad title.

As a new TA, I must say, I really dislike the British grading scale…

Dear friends,

Hi. Following the recent leadership change of Twitter, I have decided to move my personal/academic account to Fediverse.

If you want to read my posts without a Fedi account, you can simply open in your browser:
