I officially have one more citation this year than last year. Need for seppuku averted.

I am really lagging; been a rough year (citation-wise).

rimabasu.bsky.social•80 days ago

I’ve begun my decline into irrelevance.

lastpositivist.bsky.social•80 days ago

You had a good run (I literally just cited you tho so Basu revival incoming)

neillevy.bsky.social•79 days ago

I’ve survived one more year. But success just raises the bar. We’re just delaying the inevitable.

billvanderburgh.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yes, but how many new likes do you have on your social media posts?

cdutilhnovaes.bsky.social•80 days ago

The year isn't over yet 😉 (As of today, I'm myself at 2 citations higher than last year, phew!)

matthewbroome.bsky.social•79 days ago

Sometimes citations drop and move into new year…

cdutilhnovaes.bsky.social•79 days ago

Yep, it’s a dynamic situation 😅

lastpositivist.bsky.social•79 days ago

If someone withdraws a paper that cites me now I am seppukuing them

You might be needing this then, Master K.

Anyone needing background music for their annual citation deprivation crisis?

Wait, so you guys are being cited?

Down from 89 to 79, but OTOH I have no honour to restore. Considering asking chatgpt what to do.

eltorosolo.bsky.social•69 days ago

Its advice was... quite sensible, actually. No comic value at all, fml.

cailinmeister.bsky.social•72 days ago

I have 5 to go in the next 5 days. It’s gonna be close

cailinmeister.bsky.social•69 days ago

@lastpositivist.bsky.social no drastic measures necessary here

lastpositivist.bsky.social•69 days ago

You made it, you are valid as a human being

If anybody needs a 2nd for seppuku, I'll happily assist over Zoom. My sword is made of Feyerabendian steel and designed to cut through disagreeing experts to get at their wisdom. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1GH2ed6R5q/

Plato's Ship of Fools allegory is also an AI safety allegory. How can we pick the wise captain from the noisy crew that will guide the ship safely to shore? When the crew is wiser than us, like with super AI? https://youtu.be/oDJdpTvhY_4

Luckily, logic and algebra can help us. Check out how I am constructing the logic of unsupervised evaluation with my Open Source Python package, NTQR. Can we formally verify group evaluations of noisy experts using tests for which no one has the answer key? https://ntqr.readthedocs.io/en/latest
