new-fave now supports both IPA and CMU label sets out of the box

Question: For a CompLing course that's includes intro-to-programming, I'm asking them to write a function (without regex) that returns True if a string is a^nb, False otherwise. Is that... too challenging?

I thought my architect friend was being hyperbolic when she said that we should stop putting indoor plumbing in houses... But I'm starting to agree

Chomsky on Foucault: “I'd never met anyone who was so totally amoral” I guess Foucault didn’t retain that distinction forever

I'm grateful not to have any former academic advisors in the Epstein files.

i’d rant about the priority given to clearing snow from car infrastructure… except it seems like the city has also sort of given up on that?

i really need to know if these academics with emails in the files were using the institutional email addresses.

is there a term for a “Perfect February” that fits exactly in the calendar?

This looks great!

niche content: in BG3 multiplayer in the Grymforge, if one of you is in dialog with the escaped iron hand gnome, and the other tries to sneak around to steal the smoke powder, it *will* bork the game logic

TIL: McGruff the Crime Dog is Columbo’s federally standardized fursona

I know I lived there a while, but why is every traditional British dish called like "puss and grubble"?

I followed an academic on TikTok who I don't know, but who was making academic related videos. Recently, I looked at my TT dms tab, which I only use for messaging strange videos to my sister, and saw that this academic was in my chat history. Confused, I opened the chat

I don't know that I'm an AI vegan. But at least an AI ovo-lacto vegetarian?

my mom got me onto the minute cryptic. I haven't done many cryptic crosswords, and the fact there's hinting and and a youtube video describing each solve is some great onboarding

new guy:

while talking with siblings about whether we can wink or wiggle our eyebrows, my mother said we just need to practice, cause when she was a kid she sat in front of a mirror practicing winking, learning to isolate the muscles, holding one eye shut and so forth.

it’s been pretty good visiting family for christmas

it works the same way in the US: things i like and am comfortable with are just normal, things i don’t like and make me uncomfortable are political

my first attempt at rendering a certain futurist vs my most recent

my little spiel to early-on graduate students who are anxious how to get a good idea is that first, something has to bother you. and nothing is more bothersome than an absence or a vacancy

i've gotten a lot looser with my digital painting. i started out trying to do a detailed, like, anatomical sketch, then each next component got its own layer. I'm moving toward just one layer and trying to get experimental with my colors

speak for yourself!

just deleted a post about how grifters claiming they got passed over for academic jobs because they're white actually just suck. *they* do suck, and they didn't experience anti-white bias, but the job market is such a nightmare I don't wanna suggest its easy to get one if you don't suck

Some more portraits for the D&D campaign. I missed the likeness a bit on Tom Waites, but I think Tilda Swinton came out good! The last two are Brazilian singers (Magno e Marciel) who I saw on TikTok and hope to god aren't deeply problematic

people are already using LLMs to "grade" essays that include the student's name, aren't they?

A top moment in my Speech Sounds class was while using "Ténnessee Títans" to demonstrate stress clash I asked "Are the Tennessee Titans an actual team?" And the usually active room stared at me in silence till someone said "... we're linguistics majors."

i’m at “remembers no personal computers”

i still look at “2019” and think “last year”

I wanted a little function to throw into a sequence of piped functions to log what's happening, so I write a little package jofrhwld.github.io/notify/ #rstats

interesting developments in the American borrowing of “queue”

i understand how this happened, but it looks chaotic

ok they say “any difference of opinion”, but but i couldn’t find any shares in “the Phonological Component must be Serial and Rule‐Based”.

i thought this was cool when I first saw it, but for some reason i just realized *i* could be Skip Fruehwald

Rstudio wrapped bsky.app/profile/sal....

i go where the data takes me

one thing they both have in common is they seem like they're in permanently bad moods, maybe even angry?

I've been low-key obsessed with pre-voiceless /ay/ for nearly 20 years, and still somehow I have "oh yeah... wierd" moments with my intuitions. Not raised: - bicep - bisexual Raised: - bicycle - dichotomy Unsure: - diverticulitis

me: What words rhyme with “cute”? student: “astute” me: Oh, that’s a good example, but l want to cover some other stuff and come back to it. … me: Actually, I just want to *think* about it and not talk about it

ok, causal inference people: Lets say I have the following DAG. I see the backdoor path through C, so I adjust for C. dagitty says I *also* need to adjust for B, but I'm not sure why since there's a collider along its path?
