1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything

When running ANOVAs in #R, use car::Anova().
aov() and anova() use Type I sums of squares, meaning that order matters, which can distort results in unbalanced designs. car::Anova() is safer because it uses Type II sums of squares by default), each effect is adjusted for all the other effects.

On Saturday, September 27, 2025, following the main AMP session held on September 25-26, 2025, there will be a special session on "Deep Phonology: Doing phonology with deep learning" held on the UC Berkeley campus.
Phonology has been modeled using rules, constraints, finite state machines, exemplars, and many other approaches. Recent advances in deep learning have prompted researchers to explore how deep neural architectures (e.g., seq2seq models, transformers, RNNs, LSTMs

Ian was such an inspirational mentor to me, both academically and athletically. He was always so sweet and so English. He will be greatly missed.
I am very sad to learn of the death of Ian Maddieson (on Sunday, Feb. 2). He was a creative thinker, an inspiring linguist, and a wonderful colleague who made a big difference to me intellectually and personally.
