@freemo @trinsec @khird I joined this server without knowing it's for STEM. I love the name and the community. Yes, I am in STEM, but don't care much about it. I am not aware of the technical/organisational trade-offs of one big vs several small servers

@lozross @tibosl hats down for old PhD projects. Cheers!

@freemo do I understand correctly that your map is an aggregate of gerrymandered congressional districts (and the winner-takes-it-all aggregate of many red districts is red itself)?

@freemo I'm ignorant about the US in all possible ways, but isn't this one of the many reasons why your map is so red? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2021/nov/12/gerrymander-redistricting-map-republicans-democrats-visual

@pbogdanov всъщност и аз имам инсталирани няколко клиента и чак сега забелязах колко са яки двата най-десни таба (нямам си идея каква е разликата). Доколкото разбрах започват да се изпълват със съдържание когато започнеш да следиш хора от много различни сървери. Малко сложна и непрозрачна е системата, ама с времето ще се разбере

@mastodonmigration @tchambers @chipotle wait, shouldn't it be users that have a say what happens to their content? Since when are admins the ones entitled to take this decision? Maybe there are some consulting mechanisms I'm missing, but I'd love to be enlightened about the workings of some parts of the fediverse I haven't experienced yet

@jaz @dalias @tchambers @chipotle are you saying that deferderation inherently (automatic messaging?) of informs all users of what is happening? If not so, we're talking about the hypothetical behaviour of admins in general, and the easier thing to do is to not inform users

@oceaniceternity @tchambers only that this is taking the "just leave" decision on behalf of the entire pub crowd. Wouldn't it be polite to first inform them at least that they are all about to collectively be made leave?

@noelreports One would wonder why it took them almost a century? I can think only of cynical possible answers

@pbogdanov what's wrong with Mastodon app? Tusky ми е прекалено bird-like

@davoloid his analysis is very well motivated historically.

If you allow me, my personal criticism towards him is about a very widespread phenomenon in the post-Soviet space altogether (I come from Bulgaria and have seen this around me a lot). It is about viewing the world from one's own post-Soviet lens, convinced that the free world is abnormal and the gangster economy is the normal state of things (whatever normal might mean). To me this is underappreciation of the wider drives in society against violence. See https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1579161914201866240 Other than that it'd be an understatement if I say I can only admire his ability to put his narrative together and to pull out relevant sources.

The 24th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education has started! Tomorrow at a virtual poster session, I'll be presenting our "Who and How: Using Sentence-level NLP to Evaluate Idea Completeness" paper detailing what we did to provide real-time feedback to free text learner contributions in an online gamified educational toolkit #AIED2023

An online summary of this piece of research is available at https://cco.works/opendata/ . At the same website the CCO Toolkit can be experienced freely. It is an online learning support tool that guides visitors through a problem-based learning experience with Paul Ekblom's Conjunction of Criminal Opportunity crime prevention framework

@davoloid Kamil has some really extraordinary insights about Russia and its history. I don't think I've seen anyone being so capable of translating (also adding untranslatable references) the context so well
