I should add, h/t to @tiagoo who shared this here on Mathstodon. I had forgotten where I got the link from!

The mild irony of saying a global search for a new Vice Chancellor found someone from the geographically closest Group of Eight (i.e. research-intensive) university to here did not escape some of us.
(Let me just say that I have no doubt the new VC is wholly qualified.)

@dimpase yes! I was looking at a different surname etymology and I realised where the 'bert' came from in Engelbert, and it s a small step from there in my mind to recognise Engel

@dpiponi I wish that I could tell the native Music app is Mac OS to not launch and start playing as soon as it detects I put my BT headphones on my head.

I'm pretty sure I owned a copy of Ionesco's Rhinoceros (together with his play The Chairs), and I can picture where it was on the bookshelf before I moved both the bookshelves and books around in my office. If I haven't given it away it's in a box somewhere... 😕

Oh, dear. Officeworks would need to detach the map and send it through rollers. Not going to do that.

@infotainment.bsky.social I have my emails to my co-author where I mentioned my concerns, asking if he knew how to justify the (ultimately faulty) step, emails to my old PhD supervisor asking for advice and so on.
Any reason?

@infotainment.bsky.social I also have social media posts discussing the issues, and a blog post explaining what went wrong. I have a paper about I on the arxiv. Any thing else?

@infotainment.bsky.social how do you mean timeline and evidence? I have my email correspondence with the journal alerting them to issues in our paper, and their decision to retract (I said I didn't know if corrigendum or retraction was more suitable and let them decide).

Whee! Now to scan it at Officeworks and print it at twice the size to put on my wall...

@soaproot Yes, I was thinking how to contact the team and let them know the background (evidenced by emails and so on), in case it helps give a higher-quality data point (and they update the reason to DtRT as you say). It does feel a little bit like trying to put lipstick on a pig, or spinning […]

@julesh math.HO is the place for history papers, or those that are in any way related to the practice or field or sociology etc of mathematics. Recreational mathematics is a bit harder, but almost always it will be ok for math.NT or math.MG or math.CO (these three categories cover everything […]

And another author who was abusing the system earlier in the year by uploading a bunch of AI-generated papers to math.CT had all their preprints also reclassified as math.GM.
I'm glad things have been fixed, for now. Until the next person with a misunderstanding of the field and access to […]

These papers are now all reclassified as math.GM, phew. I don't like the fact it (apparently) took someone complaining pseudonymously on social media before this got fixed, because that's a double-edged sword. But the reputation of the field, and the much younger (and vulnerable) field of […]

@andrejbauer Yes, this is how I would do it.
You could also get a bit silly and think of showing e^69 < 2^100 < e^70, but that's just a flex...

@andrejbauer And how would you prove this to high school students or first-year university students and couldn't use a computer? (I understand, of course, your rationale for your answer ^_^ )

And another one. Surely the arXiv can flag people who upload lots of papers in a short space of time and run a heuristic on the metadata to see if things should be inspected more closely (are they uploads of old papers with journal references? Is the author […]
