"Funny how the same people who say X also say Y." This type of claim, typically posted without evidence, is a pet peeve of mine. I doubt that everybody we disagree with has the same set of (inconsistent) beliefs.

alethioguy Brilliant perspective on teaching ethics to computer science students, especially the point about the impossibility of "neutrality": theindy.org/2235

It solidifies my view that CS has to be taught more as a social science than a natural science, if that's possible.

mmitchell_ai "didn’t meet our bar for publication ... It ignored too much relevant research".

remcoknooi We hebben het inmiddels ook al gehad over Lake Baikal, de Duitse wetenschapper c.q. amateuralcoholist die het onderzoek leidt heeft als voornaam Thomas [tɒməs] en zijn postdocs zitten aan de shopska salad [sɛlət].

remcoknooi Interessante podcast-aflevering over biologisch onderzoek in het Meer van Ohrid. Een groot minpunt is dat ze het constant hebben over Lake Ohrid [leɪk ɔɹɪt] terwijl het ding gewoon een Nederlandse naam heeft en wij de [x] in [ɔxrit] best wel kunnen uitspreken.

braveenk If we’re calling people “diversity hires” then I would like to also coin the term “homogeneity hire”:

A person who is hired, not because they were the best, but because they were the same.

Used in a sentence: “Mike hired another Mike - he’s probably a homogeneity hire🤭”

baileythegreen Look at how confident they were in their in their misinformation, speaking about a field they (to my knowledge) had not studied! Note the utter lack of hedging in the prose!
