research posters and supplemental materials such as models, data, and code should get DOIs too.

I finally submitted my first journal article after ~6 years in the program β€” as an expanded conference paper invited for the special issue. :AnxietyOtter:

@threeofus I believe there's a place for everyone that isn't a Twitter-wannabe server. Put out some feelers. Check your favorite hashtags. Lastly, it's totally okay to start out on a big instance! Consider that this is social media, not parasocial media πŸ€”

this is another reminder to those still on mastodon.social, mastodon.online or universeodon to PLEASE migrate to another instance to chill with a smaller community.

these big instances are federating with Facebook/Meta's #Threads server(s) and as a result are being silenced/defederated by many in the fediverse, meaning people won't be able to see your posts! and you won't be able to chill with cyberpunks. 'nuff said!

There is an alternate timeline where the semantic web took off and there was wide investment in ontological tooling to ensure that the information in academic papers, websites, and applications was structured and accessible to future processing.

We instead live in a world where all the useful data is trapped inside proprietary formats, and entangled in meaningless prose - a world primed for large language models to come along and hallucinate the data that might contained therein.

any advice before I take psychic damage by reading my paper feedback from 5 reviewers?

my conference paper has been rejected. I await the reviewers' feedback.

now I am wondering if this will delay my graduation. the feedback is very likely gonna make me mental, too. πŸ₯΄

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Leland Melvin is the only person to have both been drafted in the NFL and been an astronaut. But, frankly, he deserves perpetual fame for his official NASA photograph.

Semi-Obligatory #DayofDH2022 workspace photo: my basement office.

A large wooden desk surface supports a laptop and two external monitors. On a large pad in front of the center monitor there is a split, angled keyboard and a wireless mouse. To the right, a coffee cup and a metal water bottle. To the left a lamp, a coffee cup full of pens, a holder for a pair of glasses, an open bullet journal, a corded headset a USB dock, and a wadded-up paper towel. Sunlight streams in from a high, wide window in the paneled wall at left through which tree trunks are visible. Three oxalis plants in pots sit on the deep windowsill. A rolling chair, a bookshelf full of books, and the corners of some framed documents and canvas-covered armoire are also visible.

@RaulMasu Hi Raul, nice to meet you! my name is James.

I am researching the engineering tooling problem that contributes to the fragility of computer systems.

Next week we are presenting a paper about the need to reinforce value driven ethical discourse in academic venues at the CHI conference (Human Computer Interaction conference)

It would be nice to know how other communities deal with ethic and values.

Here a short introduction to that paper.

Coordinated cutting of specific fibre cables seems to be quite effective.

> Internet services were down or running slowly in several French cities on Wednesday after fibre optic cables were cut overnight in "attacks" on the crucial infrastructure, telecom operators said.

Excellent quote:
"Without transparency, we would be forced to either blindly accept or blindly doubt the results. As we have said before (.pdf), transparency does not tie researchers’ hands. It opens readers' eyes."

#JWST has completed telescope alignment and is continuing instrument commissioning! blogs.nasa.gov/webb/

Just take a look at all those wonderfully focused stars from the Large Magellanic clouds.

Webb Telescope Image Sharpness Check shows images of stars from the large magellanic clouds from all four of JWST's instruments, NIRSPEC, NIRCam, MIRI and NIRISS/FGS.  The image is of a dense star field. You can see evidence of nebulosity in the MIRI image.

Reviewer 1: this is the best paper I've ever read
Reviewer 2: this is the worst paper I've ever read
Reviewer 3: I talked to reviewers 1 & 2, and I must say, I agree
