Can all graduate programs please accept a universal letter system like Interfolio so we don’t have to upload 100 letters individually?! The time waste is insane.
Students are telling me that only *two* of their applications accept Interfolio!

A librarian that previously worked at the British Library created a relatively small dataset of bsky posts, hundreds of times smaller than previous researchers, to help folks create toxicity filters and stuff.
So people bullied him & posted death threats.
He took it down.
Nice one, folks.

Personally, reviewing for NeurIPS a couple years back changed me as a reviewer. For one paper I rejected, I kept citing it throughout the year to people for a finding it had. This made me realise it was a good paper, it just had some easy targets for rejection.

Do you know what rating you’ll give after reading the intro? Are your confidence scores 4 or higher? Do you not respond in rebuttal phases? Are you worried how it will look if your rating is the only 8 among 3’s? This thread is for you.

We just dropped CAT4D, text to dynamic 3D models that you can render in real time. Not posting a video because Bluesky is garbage in this respect; go straight to the real time viewer on a desktop browser and look around. The cat kneading dough is my favorite.

In the HuggingFace/Bluesky incident, the problem goes deeper than whether the data is "public" or "private"
What matters to people is whether their data was collected, which data was collected, how it may be used, and who it may be used by

On July 26th, Nancy Pelosi sells 5000 shares of $MSFT Microsoft,
On Nov 27, 2024, the FTC announces it is launching a wide-ranging US antitrust probe against $MSFT.
This was Nancy Pelosi's largest sell in two years of her portfolio, with $MSFT below her sell now.

Today I presented my MSc. work "Exploring approaches to Improvisational Interactive Storytelling" in the student seminar.
I narrated a basic setting and used a dice to explain the gamemastering mechanisms to the committee ☺️
OK, now I have to write my thesis! 😅
