Omg I'd love this so much. Just imagine how many families this could help? Not to mention build stronger communal ties.

Today's find. 1942 3rd edition of Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov's My Musical Life 😍🥰 (I know. I know. No more books. Starting after today.)

Spotted at the bookstore today! I remember when this came out.

Today, I get to meet the undergrads I'll be supervising. They're each giving a presentation on what they're working on. Honestly, I'm so excited that I've been up since 3:30am. Part of me also worries that someone screwed up because I was that undergrad not so long ago. The whole thing is surreal

Come on Manitoba, we're better than this 😞 This man did the right thing and should be able to stay. The man who hired him should not be able to run a construction company anymore. We need better oversight by the government, people are being taken advantage of.

Here's an example of the inherent issue with language and tools that try to understand language like search intent, sentiment analysis and LLMs/GPTs: The ball rolled off the table. Simple, right? There's a ball, a table, and the ball rolled and fell. But there's more implicit information.
