    Dear Twitter. Suppose that you want a 200GB (compressed) automatically annotated treebank. What would be your preferred download method (outside plain HTTP)? Bittorrent? Resilio Sync? Shared Dropbox folder? Hard disk via snail-mail?

    Fair enough. No more pro-bono reviewing for Elsevier journals for me. Will be copying your tweet by way of reply to any requests.

    aaargh the "When recurrent models don't need to be recurrent" paper is so frustrating! On the one hand it presents important technical results. On the other, so many people interpret it as "yo lets replace all RNNs with FF nets". This is wrong. This is NOT the result.

    howdy folks! it's been a while since i repped a cool rustdoc PR, but today i have a doozy. a PR just landed that shows when a type implements some trait that was impl'd generically! for example, the ToString trait, previously nowhere to be found, now appears on types!

    Nips review:"You did not compare to *random paper that was put onto arxiv a month plus after nips deadline -potentially during review* and without this baseline we do not think the paper has merit. Hence no novelty." The most unethical and toxic thing I have seen. ACs, your turn.

    a couple weeks ago, pointed out that the EN word "homeowner" has "meow" in it. therefore, i believe it should be rendered thus: HO😺NEW. surely there are other such words, i thought. >

    Deployed my first server with NixOS/NixOps. Really nice, especially knowing that I can spawn the same configuration in 5 minutes on a VPS or locally in a VM.

    There's a significant subset of *ACL/EMNLP reviewers hostile to papers on linguistic questions without (and sometimes with) obvious practical applications. This is a warped view of science. The "L" stands for "linguistics," not "lingeneering." CL is more than building cool toys.

    Interesting, apparently you get the 2017 model and not the 2018 model for 1749 Euro.

    "This new third-generation keyboard wasn’t designed to solve those issues, Apple says. In fact, company representatives strenuously insisted that the keyboard issues have only affected a tiny, tiny fraction of its user base. "

    Meh, Friday's rain destroyed my beloved iPhone (it somehow got wet) . But I didn't want to buy a new iPhone two months before the release. So bought an affordable Android phone for the meantime. At least it's in Android One. So, it gets monthly updates.
