Technically she/her, but use any pronouns you like. Professional perfectionist (editor), fiber artist, theoretically a musician, 5th-gen Texan and not as proud of that as I used to be.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

This is halfway through the thread. Reading all of it is enlightening.
If you make $200,000 a year, quite a bit more than poverty level, you end up more than 20 blocks away. Quite a distance!

When Pusch broke up with Nguyen and hooked up with Wynne, I was curious what would happen to the Brokeback Mountain billboard.

Our division now has revamped their monthly newsletter to include:
“The Snort Report” where they share a joke each month.
A “Cozy Corner” with tips for adding warmth to our lives during these cold months
And a “Gratitude Wall”
If this was an actual paper rather than a PDF, I would set it on fire.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.
