tho was going to say to check Cauchy as the op did because a lot of notation associated with him was introduced later

LADIE'S TOILET'S "OVERFLOWING SEWARS"

happy, copy editor's "appreciatoin week" to those whom celabrate

feels like genai "analysis" of written consultations breaks a fundamental compact of responsibility of governors to the governed. humans don't have a great record of taking in responses, but the practise of having a human read them is such a basic part of what political representation should mean.

it's the automated account that keeps on giving!

I know not that it has been defined before.

These fictions degrade us both, computer.

University of Chicago Press Journals: Cookie absent

outstanding French scholarship has no need of your American "cookies" 🍪

"Although it is written in French, it should stand out as a major contribution" ❤️🇫🇷 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10....

obviously by LLM I meant CMS, or VLE, or maybe 3 other letters

this is a blessing in two ways, the main one being that it helped get me to figure out how to extricate my teaching from the LLM (second one being how it might thwart this bot attack)

just the other day I was complaining about how our LLM couldn't manage a persistent login for more than 2 pageloads

about to see a lot of universities get much more committed to verifying 2FA for every single bloody interaction

the annoying thing is how many of the captchas don't accept my human responses, which causes me to do a human reevaluation of whether I actually want to visit that site

love love love to teach this paper

holding my breath for universities 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞💨

now that's what i call hauntology.

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave

This is a shameful non-statement by the AMS. But 100% on brand for them.

I've seen the 50% cost unit spiral thing in action first-hand. What it inevitably produces, what it must produce in order to get to that magical 50%, is far smaller course teams (was less salary costs), and fewer courses on offer. It never, ever, goes the other way.

groupthinking for mediocrity

the 50+ contribution model has to be the project of some higher ed consultancy, given where it's popping up in common

It's the caring labour of coding that is constantly rendered invisible. Real Men move fast and heroically break things, ripping the future into the present whether we like it or not.

Caring whether it's fit for purpose and methodically examining what's being proposed to assess it is for pussies.

we all know "revise and resubmit" is the true romantic's outcome tho

Time for our weekly reminder that there is only one ed tech investment that is proven to work, and it's hiring more teachers and paying them better.

precisely. could focus on Tao or spin it out to a consideration of maths-famous opiners on social media

need a followup to @bplarvor.bsky.social and Hanna on Tao's distinctive genre of takes, from the open lecture notes to the career advice to Polymath to LLMs
