@ibandlank.bsky.social Idan! I want to thank you for your terrific tutorial on transformer models. We watched it in my class this semester, and it helped everyone. Really great work

I call dplyr outside of the tidyverse because I do what I want @hadley.nz

So what? He made up an award. Good for him. We should all be like Sartre and eschew awards. I only say that because I've never won an award except the Russian and Soviet Studies award at Tulane, but I was the only Russian major so they had to give it to me.

Plus I drive from the passenger seat

On this graduation day, I am reminded of when I was briefly an interim department chair and saved money on regalia by ordering a Slytherin costume robe and tie on Amazon.

It’s so easy you just paste the individual plots into Microsoft paint then jiggle them until you’re happy or one falls off the page and you can’t find it again. A caveman could do it

What kind of pipe is this? I did not expect to find a pipe. This 130 year old house is full of surprises and not the good kind

Autocorrection of the day:year was ‘Graph Macchio’ for Ralph macchio. What a data science name

I created and maintain two R packages, ConversationAlign and SemanticDistance. Both packages do some pretty amazing things. What I hate is when dependencies break and you have to rewrite a huge amount of code for a frankenfix you hadn’t planned on

Good news- the universal gesture for rolling down a window manually is still understood by modern youth. I can’t explain it

Stan Getz was born in Philadelphia - true story just heard on WRTI 90.1 Jazz

Did you know that the same guy who invented 2FA also invented that system in hotels in Europe where you have to out your room key in the slot to turn on the lights?

Omg IQ as ‘astrology for racists’ is my favorite quote maybe ever

@ebonawitz.bsky.social were you just at Temple??? I missed your freaking talk. I’m such a nimrod. I wanted to meet you.

Mountain laurel has arrived at the garden center just fyi

Second most trouble I ever got in was when I marked my scantron test as the key and everyone else's test in the seventh grade was scored relative to mine. First was getting arrested for swimming in Springton Reservoir in HS

I lived in Korea for a year and had so many adventures. You will LOVE it.

....and by extension, formant dispersion is the basis for magnitude sound symbolism in humans. There's nothing 'synaesthetic' about it. People (and non-human animals) are sensitive to an inverse relationship between mass and frequency.

Spend six hours meticulously drawing something, and it looks like a dog’s dick. Spend 30sec scribbling the suggestion of a person, and it looks interesting.

Love these plots — what’s this color palette and what kind of plots are they? Looks like a frankenviiolin plot

@mehr.nz I see all the APS rising star posts this year and keep thinking how they took away your rising star status when you didn't pay your dues. You need to put the system on trial.

It's a wrap! Closing editorial with @briellestark.bsky.social and @andreaeyleen.bsky.social is out for our special issue of Cortex on Discourse Processing in the Brain. Turned out great. Learned a TON. Thanks contributors! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm building an intro to R course to help students get up to speed on the basics. It's called 'R for Nervous Humans'. Modules 1-4 are up now. No interactivity though, for reasons. Feedback welcomed. arcaravaggi.github.io/r-for-nervou... #statistics #rstats

Watercolor and ink brain for cortex cover art submission. Scrapped any effort at realism and went full weird, but this might be the one,

GAH! My R01 is being held up for public access non-compliance for two articles. All articles must be deposited in PubMed Central with zero embargo, but the publisher (in this case Elsevier) sets the embargo time. Has anyone encountered this issue? Open access papers are not embargoed, right? GAH

The only thing more complicated than GitHub in the known universe
