  Comprehensive… Real-world applications… Promising…

    A bit of a more serious comment on that: knowledge is never useless. Many, maybe most, researchers agree with that. It’s why we do what we do. Publishers and sources of funding (be they third party or governmental), however, disagree. So we have to sell them on the importance of our research this way.

      “Knowledge is never useless”

      Going on a tangent here: While I fully agree with the above, there is an amount of knowledge after which fact checking becomes bothersome, and some people just skip fact checking overall. One could argue that, while knowledge is never useless, unchecked knowledge might become bothersome or dangerous.

      See flatearthers, scientology, etc. for extreme examples.

      Condensed matter - basic research. No actual real world, independently of what the abstracts/introductions may claim.

  I get a full on boner whenever someone uses “thusly” in a sentence. Such a great word.

    what are your thoughts on “whence”?

    • SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It’s a big w for hence

      If you suffix it with “forth” I’m in, you son of a bitch

    Does it have to be used correctly? If not, i could thusly use it incorrectly, possibly?

  I have a visceral reaction to words like elucidate, and other fluff. My wiring has to be very to the point, and technically accurate. Because of this I carve up drafts from juniors like a Thanksgiving turkey.

    Most “professional” writing is just a bunch of phrases interspersed with a few chunks of information.

    I’m involved with bidding and grant proposal stuff for software and it’s 90% empty words. I draw two diagrams and a page of text, sales deletes 60% of the text, misinterprets the rest and then puffs it up to 30 pages.

      It doesn’t have to be like that. Sure, context is important, but parroting phrases or other crap that the client has in the RFP is bullshit. They don’t want you blowing smoke up their ass, they want a technically sound product that addresses the exact issues they asked you to address. They also want you to show them how you’re going to get there, and achieve the objectives they set out.

      I realize you’re on the tech side; I’m just venting my frustrations with the corporate/PM spheres.

      They let the ad guys write grants and then wonder why they don’t end up getting them

      It’s heartening to see comments like this. Busybody buzzwords and marketing maneuvering infiltrating real scientific study has been a hallmark of the de-intellectualisation of society for a long time, in my mind.

  You guys are allowed to say novel?!

    My group abuses this word and I fucking despise it. Every manuscript I see has “novel” in it, I call out unless it actually is displaying novelty in that context.

  I’d like to see someone hand an LLM as many abstract sections as they can possibly find, and then have it generate the most generic, meaningless, fluff piece abstract/grant proposal/possibly silicon valley startup loan application, the world has ever seen.
