What are your nominations for CS/CE papers of the last decade (or so), ones that will show up in textbooks or change the fabric of what we do and how for decades to come?
Based on a query by Farber, after I showed him the book Ideas that Created the Future, with seminal papers up through 1979.
@bookstodon Anybody got a recommendation for a book on the early 19th Romantics, Byron, both Shelley's, et al.?
Just finishing up Blood in the Machine (a FANTASTIC book about the Luddites that raises many more questions than it answers), and my interest in that crew is piqued.
@bookstodon while we're at it, any recommendations for an audiobook version of Frankenstein? I have read it a couple of times, but most recently quite a while ago, so thinking I might give an audiobook version a try.
@FlockOfCats@soycamo with half a million Vietnamese people now living in Japan, I guarantee there are solid Vietnamese restaurants. Probably not a lot of info in English about them.
@mekkaokereke I've heard of both of those stats, pretty cool.
Where I work, I feel bad that I have to encourage students, staff and colleagues to speak my language instead of the local language, but for better or worse, it's today's most global language, and our job is to influence the world and nurture the next generation of global leaders.
I've been thinking about that Sabine Hossenfelder video* that is doing the rounds and I have to say that I mostly don't like it. It raises real issues with how the incentives are laid out in science, yes, but the whole framing is (sometimes explicitly) that that is all academia is and there's nothing of value. Besides, these are not new issues and a lot of people have been talking about these points in a much more productive way.
@eliocamp@academicchatter kudos to her for being brave enough to step up and tell us all about the UPS and downs of her career.
As you say, she raises good points, but isn't the first and won't be the last until we find some way to fix academia. I also agree with you that I wouldn't cast things the way she cast them, but it has me thinking, not for the first time.
Which is based on the first of three online courses, all uploaded to YouTube, in both English and Japanese: Overview of Quantum Communications, From Classical to Quantum Light, and Quantum Internet. https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumCommEdu/playlists
And thanks to the brilliant team of several dozen people I work with, most especially Shota Nagayama (who leads the Quantum Internet Task Force) and Michal Hajdušek (who does much of the educational materials and most of the physicsing).
