It's somehow so endearing to still encounter occasional glitches like this

Out of curiosity, how are you all dealing with the security risks that arise when using a system like Claude Code?

This major release of my lab's annotation tool, Potato 2.0, was a long time in the making but I'm really excited by all the new features (and quality of life improvements). If you're doing data annotation of any kind, check it out. Need any other features? We'd love to hear from you too!

I’m excited to share this opportunity for an early-career social scientist on the @aip.bsky.social research team. Please share with anyone interested in putting social science research skills to work to empower positive change in the physical sciences. workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/defau...

The real partisan "God Gap" in religious rhetoric among members of Congress wasn't most pronounced during GW Bush. Study shows it really showed up in 2nd term Obama & was largest during first term Trump. (Note Dems increased religious language too in recent years.) anthology.ach.org/volumes/vol0...

"it doesn’t take generational change for words to take on new meanings or lose old one" Analysis of more than a century’s worth of political speeches challenges theory about how linguistic usage evolves | McGill University www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/cha...

This sounds like an incredible postdoc opportunity!

Very nice coverage of our PNAS paper, by the great Philip Ball! bsky.app/profile/did:... (paper here: t.co/9rgnO77BkJ) @grvkamath.bsky.social @msonderegger.bsky.social @sivareddyg.bsky.social

Super cool work on quantifying with NLP how language evolves through generations In linguistics, the "apparent time hypothesis" famously discusses this but never empirically tests it

I am delighted to share our new #PNAS paper, with @grvkamath.bsky.social @msonderegger.bsky.social and @sivareddyg.bsky.social, on whether age matters for the adoption of new meanings. That is, as words change meaning, does the rate of adoption vary across generations? www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

On my way from the Copenhagen Pre-ACL workshop to #ACL2025 in Vienna!
