I do appreciate the data. I was only noting that Lemmy is wholly unrepresentative of my typical writing style for everything to which I attach my name; I write Lemmy comments on my phone, and I write anything public-facing with my name attached to it on my keyboard.
My phone doesn’t convert—to an em dash. Let’s see if this comment does.
Edit: nope. No em dash. I wish.
Yes, it should be quite clear from my comment that I can’t type em dashes on my phone. I only use Lemmy on my phone.
Were you to scrape my published papers–either published up until now or published before 2020–you’d see evidence that I have to forcibly edit my writing down to a rate of one or fewer em dashes per two sentences. My grad students joke about how frequently I use them.
I don’t use them on my phone (android), but I use them whenever I type on a word processor. Word, LibreOffice, or any every other office suite most academics and scientists use (Google Docs being the exception, though idk anyone who uses Google Docs after undergrad) automatically converts punctuation with two dashes sans spaces–like this–to an em dash. Google Docs converts to an en dash. Not saying he’s using a word processor, just saying why they show up so much in longer forms of writing.
More relevant to this post: My wife uses an iPhone, and her phone automatically converts two hyphens sans spaces to an em dash. It’s completely possible he’s using an iPhone, which makes em dashes trivially easy to use.
It’s a good grammatical tool. Were my phone able to do the automatic conversion, I’d use it in basically every Lemmy post I write. Please don’t contribute to the perception that proper use of good punctuation means AI.
Thanks, I appreciate your perspective! The job wouldn’t be in Copenhagen, but I do hope to visit before the offer deadline.
Would you recommend Denmark to someone from the US considering taking a job there?
Current multimodal models can pass those with ease iirc

Aren’t all languages made up?
It was the best of times, I was just thinking about it but I don’t know if you want to go to the store or something else
Any NIH-funded research must be made open access one year after its publication date. NIH publishes the accepted manuscript in PubMed at the one-year mark. Unlike NIH, (last I checked) NSF doesn’t strictly require it, but you won’t be getting NSF funding unless you say you’re going to make the resulting papers freely available somehow (e.g., preprints, paying for open access, etc.). Not sure about DOE/DOD/etc. funded-articles.
The majority of federally funded research in the US is made open access. You might not realize it because news outlets typically report on brand-new articles, which haven’t hit the one-year mark for open access yet.
What if we 👉@👈 …? 🤭
Reposts are better than no posts. Plus, plenty of people could have missed the original.
Methods sections are limited in word count, and if a lab is hoping to get a few more papers out of a paradigm, they may be intentionally terse. There’s a big difference between how we write protocols in-house and how we write limited-length methods sections.
The Gen Z bit is accurate, at least for current college students. I’m amazed at how little they do, how few relationships they have, etc. I actually feel quite bad for them.
I actually don’t know the way you’re supposed to beat Super Metroid “correctly.” I’ve always done what I ended up learning was a major sequence break resulting from a bunch of bomb jumps to get the power bomb early, and use that to get some other stuff that allows me to beat the game out of order.
I also never start Metroid Prime without immediately getting the double jump. I used to be up there on speed running that game. I don’t play the player’s choice or switch versions whenever I decide to crack it out. The original was literal perfection.

I don’t internet without uBlock. I honestly couldn’t imagine it any other way.
Same. I still occasionally browse Reddit, but I have a rule that I don’t post or comment there. I do post and comment here.
Apartmently I need to use Boost! I’ve been using Thunder for a while because it’s FOSS. I’ll give Boost a shot. Thanks for the heads up.
