this exists. This is called an API.

Honestly Bsky is so lefty that when I see the occasional fascism supporter I have to do a double-take to make sure they're not doing A Bit. And it's kind of refreshing because it's what the internet used to be like 10-ish years ago.

Oliver Suchanek and @katta.bsky.social at #CHI2025. Refreshing to see a good deaf-hearing collaborator dynamic: both presenters signed, and interpreters did the voicing. So much more respectful than the typical scenario of the deaf presenter signing and the hearing presenter talking up a storm.

I hate to say it but it needs to be said. The "center of AI discourse" no longer exists. r/MachineLearning had solid discourse killed by the API boycott. AI Twitter got swamped by grifters and then killed by algorithm changes and fascist takeovers. On Bsky it was obviously stifled in the cradle.

As awful as this is, travelers from the global south are treated like this at all times 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 we go. I'd never even dare to show up at immigration without a full, precise itinerary, proof of purpose of visit, and even letters of leave of absence from my job/school.

I think it's noteworthy how spoiled we in ML/NLP/CV are for venues. Miss a deadline or get rejected? The next deadline for a relevant venue of equal prestige is just a month or two away! (and this is honestly contributing a lot to the over abundance of papers in the field)

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

for those out of the ICLR drama popping off (again) suddenly openreview.net/forum?id=et5... @kempelab.bsky.social refused to cite Schaeffer and Gerstgrasser's (no Bsky @) prior paper on Model Collapse at COLM on grounds of ethical and quality concerns. AC rejects. PCs override and accept.

Noticed that my GPU seems to sing a bit (coil whine I guess?) when doing inference with a LLM, and apparently different models have different noises they make Can barely hear it in person, but if you put a microphone right next to the GPU you can hear the machines grinding their gears
