The references say that the hole is too large for sparrows, but year after year, we watch them fledge 2 or 3 nestlings. When they are small, you can hear them, too young to be afraid.

Been years now, but time to start a new project.
This fencepost halted me this morning. The sharp lines, the graceful brokenness, the way the secret tree asserts itself through the paint.
But the theme hasn't become apparent yet.
Stay tuned? #Not_FloralDistancing

Absolutely!
We have to define what we value in education, reading, and writing and ensure those are central to the process itself, and adequately resource that. This will differ by educational level, topic and goal.

A thing I never get from discussions of AI's content consumption is what it means on the other end for knowledge production. I hear advocates say AI will generate "ideas" out of the stew of previous expression. If writing is thinking, & I believe it is, what does it mean if fewer of us are thinking?
Good @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social post this am about what it means-- and how it feels-- to be a writer in the age of AI content consumption. Copyright means little, alas, and Creative Commons licenses which trumpeted a sharing ethos equally ill equipped. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2024/11/20/g...

When people ask me what I do for a living, I think I have to say "Email". I read email; I figure out how to address/fix/discuss the subject of that email; I write an email.
That's it. That's my life now.

Cumulative damage of small irritations: I just figured out how to turn off an annoying default in Windows11. I literally sighed with relief when it vanished. I had not realized how much energy it took to ignore it.
Makes me wonder how things like this I think I am tolerating, to my detriment.

This is why we can't have nice citation things:
www.science.org/content/arti...
Citation metrics were - for decades - a passive observation of scholarly action. But Goodhart's law hit them hard - and treating the disease in research evaluation by amputation? That is so sad.

Citation cartels help some mathematicians—and their universities—climb the rankings

"The combined impression is that MDPI publishes papers ...where everything looks superficially like genuine science but with jarring features that tell you something is amiss."
Imagine loosing that among readers with less science literacy? LOOKS just like genuine science...but quacks like a 🦆

Provoked by spam from #MDPI to look at one of their articles, only to find it raises loads of red flags, and leads to a trail of dodgy papers.
Hard to believe they're a serious publisher when this kind of thing happens

Transparency of reviewers' names led to - eventual - identification by someone whose purpose for examining the articles was detection of improper practices.

“García’s detective work was made possible because of the emerging practice of transparent or open peer review, in which peer-review reports and the reviewers’ identities are made publicly available when a scholarly article is published.”

I was explaining my definition of process optimization to someone today - came up with this:
Better - but not perfect
Faster - but not reckless
Stronger - but not rigid
Sound about right to you all?

I'm grieving the loss of G-Podcasts. Kind of invested in it, curation and all.
Like my ex-Twitter - had a good network there, years of development in personal and professional spaces, a "voice" within that valued audience.
Trying to find my way in the Sky.

Watching Google shutter things that actually worked, like Google Play Music, and now Google Podcasts, to turn them into YouTube Music is like someone coming into your kitchen who takes away your blender and kettle then lets you know you'll now only be able to boil water or blend things in your car.

Excellent, amazing, must-read post on @scholarlykitchen.bsky.social today.
The tantalizing possibility of all knowledge being findable - and how that obscures the fact that not all that is known is also true.
