excited to say that our Substance Beats Style paper was accepted to NAACL! We investigate why student-written programming prompts don't work well for LLMs, and find that while students think it's because of technical vocabulary gaps, it's actually information content that matters

Auch der Versuch mancher Demokraten [...] Hitler mit seinen eigenen Waffen zu schlagen, indem man seine Themen aufgriff & seine Strategien kopierte, liefen ins Leere."

RIP David Lynch. I was lucky enough to talk to him and Isabella Rossellini in 1987, to tie in with the UK release of BLUE VELVET. They were both lovely, and fun to talk to. multiglom.com/2010/07/06/d...

It’s extremely cynical for 20-something students to use accessibility measures (such as making slides, guides, recordings or notes available) as an opportunity to undermine teachers’ livelihoods just because it saves them time and effort, and I don’t think it’s “punching down” to point that out.
