  Not only is this paper real: arxiv.org/pdf/2304.01393.pdf

  But they actually made it practical:

  We have implemented two ways to reveal the actual names present in an overlapping stack, when viewing a PDF file on a computer.

  First, hovering over the stacked names should pop up a tooltip with the authors listed in their original order, as shown in Figure 1.

  This feature works on many desktop PDF viewers (e.g., Acrobat, Evince, Firefox, VSCode), but notably not Chrome, Edge, Safari, or MacOS Preview. It also does not work on mobile devices we tested (probably because they lack a natural notion of “hovering”).

    Hmm… it’s not working for me in either Firefox or Okular.

  Every paper comes with an author appendix as cut-out scrabble tiles so readers assemble the names in the order they prefer.

  Now whoever has the longest name has an advantage

  I thought we already did authorship in alphabetical order so as to avoid any implied hierarchy?
