Today arXiv remembers our colleague Joe Halpern, who was instrumental in founding arXiv's CS section.
Joe's passions ranged far & wide and we're lucky that arXiv was one of them. Joe, thank you for giving so much to arXiv - you are missed.

Computing Science Day 2026 today! #CS
yes, and the sad thing is that this cannot be attributed to AI - the incredible pace of ppl putting out stuff is not helping, but CS has long been notorious for preferring to spend time redoing something already known than to spend time with what other scientists thought and put on paper.
Applications for graduate students in computing, sociology, humanities willing to participate in the FAccT 2026 Doctoral Colloquium are open! https://facctconference.org/2026/callfordc.html
Microsoft Research NYC is hiring a researcher in the space of AI and society!
in space? (sorry, could not resist)

We spend way too much time optimising schemas because databases treat strings as second-class citizens.
My take on this matter:
swingbit.github.io/no-strings-a...
When they go low, we go high.
If you enjoy Paper Skygest, you might enjoy our new academic preprint describing it and our vision!

Op 18 maart ben ik opnieuw verkiesbaar voor de Nijmeegse raad!
Een van mijn speerpunten is digitale onafhankelijkheid. Lees hier waarom dat belangrijker is dan ooit: hear-me.social/@joepbc/1158...
Mocht je mijn kandidatuur bij anderen onder de aandacht kunnen brengen wordt dat gewaardeerd! <3
(Also, icyi, here are the 42 papers citing our non-existent paper which includes a "meta-analysis" - often called the evidence "gold standard" - of "LLM effects" in education 🤮

Closing out my year with a journal editor shocker 🧵
Checking new manuscripts today I reviewed a paper attributing 2 papers to me I did not write. A daft thing for an author to do of course. But intrigued I web searched up one of the titles and that's when it got real weird...
I am hiring a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy. Topics of interest: (i) AI governance/regulation through computational and socio-technical lens, (ii) computational and socio-technical approaches to digital well-being. More information & how to apply:
