The one that springs to mind is the German bekommen v the English to become.

They are basically the same word and at one point might’ve meant the same. Now there is no common meaning.

I assess it’s engagement bait. Our having read much of it, despite none of it having any discernable value at all, was apparently the point. I can’t see this drivel passing any first inspection by peers in the field…

Looks like a whole bunch of nonsense by and for people with no understanding of the purpose or even the structure of academic research. The author is a “Bachelor of Business Administration” with an apparent penchant for arcane scientific-sounding babble.

Read any proper publication, and you’ll see every word and thought thoroughly explained or reduced to common (if perhaps field-specific) knowledge. The abstract is short enough to give a cursory overview, and doesn’t dump a page’s worth of the author’s favourite sciency-sounding words and symbols.

Here’s an example (supposed to be without a paywall): https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3641399.3641443

Note the format, length, and wording of the abstract, the authors’ credentials (both field-relevant and at least graduate-level), the conciseness of the discussion, etc.

Compare this to Watanabe’s efforts to convince you (and whoever else reads his stuff) that he’s smart. Very, very smart. Way smarter than you. Way smarter than the people who don’t realise his smartness. The least he expects of you is unearned respect, but I’m willing to bet he’s monetising this.

If this was the 00s, he’d probably have one of these websites (PSA: don’t download or install anything):

It’s the 1-person LAN party!

So… species which haven’t invented television (all others) are by this definition “smarter” than that which did (us), because they don’t suffer a downside of the technology?

Reminds me of a drunken conversation with a pubby about how he thought birds and fish were “smarter” than us, because they had to navigate in 3D instead of on a plane. At least that guy had half a point…

There’s a plot point about this in the Expanse. The series only mentions it shortly in that season where they had to cut half the stuff (though maybe not that).

Cool that we can achieve radiosynthesis without sci-fi magic. A pity Chernobyl had to happen for this discovery.

Maybe it’s wearing them, at all, when going out.

Hear hear

90% of everything I read/write is either plaintext, explicit .md, or some .md-adjacent proprietary markup language (Atlassian, BBcode,…)

Fluently? Hungarian, English, German, Romanian, and French, in that order.

I like to joke that Equilibrium had more member changes than the contestant field of a casting show.

The main point of making a project open source is the possibility of third-party contribution.

Ok to points 1. and 2.

But where is this Shangri La you speak of?

Maye

Whoever runs Maye

Whoever didn’t fire whoever ran Maye

must be sacked before I can respect this team again.

A comment from my mate (more familiar with ⚽ than 🏈): Why won’t the manager sub out Maye?

…yea

Is it the Pats’ strategy to just straight up suck until the 59th minute? Because it looks like Maye is pondering his fucking orb every down.

Aww, if you’d only said Deimos…

Finnish rap slaps. Here’s a classic: youtu.be/DsfSLemDYQg
