DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15489309
This paper explores how algorithmic systems simulate legitimacy without invoking human subjectivity.

Many academic papers could be half as long—or less. But we write them to be self-contained and accessible to a broad scholarly audience, so we repeat background, define well-known terms, pad the argument just to be safe. And then publishers restrict the number of footnotes.
In an ideal world, a paper would be short, dense, even cryptic—and followed by a massive apparatus of notes explaining context, terminology, prior work, alternatives. Instead, we do the opposite: long main text, minimal notes
"For decades, trying to compete with American institutions and companies has been difficult. The United States was a magnet for top researchers, scientists and academics. In general, budgets were bigger, pay was bigger, labs and equipment were bigger. So were ambitions."

This is the one of the main things I brought up about starter packs when they were wildly popular in the beginning as people rebuilt their social networks

Hopefully people are more cognisant of this fact as we build #SciSky 
with the lessons we've learned from #AcademicTwitter!

I'm glad to see how #AcademicTwitter seems to be reuniting on #bluesky these days.
I decided to remain on @Mastodon for the time being, as I believe its truly decentralized design is the more sustainable approach.
Yet, I will be using the opt-in interoperability solution provided by @bsky.brid.gy. I hope many others will do so, too.
I'm on the TU Eindhoven campus today to present our IJCAI 2023 work at the inaugural symposium of the Special Interest Group for Algorithms in the Netherlands (https://www.sigalgo.nl/). Looking forward to a day of networking and learning!
"Academics, including some with hundreds of thousands of followers, announced departures from the platform in the immediate aftermath of the election, decrying the toxicity of the website and objections to Musk and how he wielded the platform to back President-elect Donald Trump."

(I almost wrote: "How human! Just like a teacher who lets the struggling student express their reasoning, instead of just giving it away" ;-)) Quite impressive, no? For sure this will have an enormous impact on #teaching (giving opportunities as well!). #AcademicTwitter #PhysikEDU 4/n
