I finally submitted my first journal article after ~6 years in the program — as an expanded conference paper invited for the special issue. 

this is another reminder to those still on mastodon.social, mastodon.online or universeodon to PLEASE migrate to another instance to chill with a smaller community.

these big instances are federating with Facebook/Meta's #Threads server(s) and as a result are being silenced/defederated by many in the fediverse, meaning people won't be able to see your posts! and you won't be able to chill with cyberpunks. 'nuff said!

There is an alternate timeline where the semantic web took off and there was wide investment in ontological tooling to ensure that the information in academic papers, websites, and applications was structured and accessible to future processing.

We instead live in a world where all the useful data is trapped inside proprietary formats, and entangled in meaningless prose - a world primed for large language models to come along and hallucinate the data that might contained therein.

any advice before I take psychic damage by reading my paper feedback from 5 reviewers?

my conference paper has been rejected. I await the reviewers' feedback.

now I am wondering if this will delay my graduation. the feedback is very likely gonna make me mental, too. 🥴

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Leland Melvin is the only person to have both been drafted in the NFL and been an astronaut. But, frankly, he deserves perpetual fame for his official NASA photograph.
