grimalkina E.g., I have for a long time tried to steer the focus on projects towards insights like "who is succeeding in important & unexpected ways despite an environment that is set against them," and it is really hard to get people to step away from their fear of that being "too unique"

grimalkina Also "most generalizable to the broadest group" isn't the ONLY impactful q or research framing and in some cases by definition washes out important insight. You could ask "what is a uniquely informative thing to study"--the hammer of "generalizability" really masks a lot of bias.

xkcd Sure, smartphones, rapid gene sequencing, and self-landing rockets are cool, but my nominee for biggest technological breakthrough of the 21st century is batteries that charge like this pic.twitter.com/0bSa9hRJsA

dirk_hovy Why not teach yourself how to explore text with Python this winter break? Good question, go right ahead!

My book is freely available as PDF until Dec 30:
doi.org/10.1017/978110…

A practical introduction with the intuitions, the math, the code. Have fun!

nhuKreteP Spot the difference: Laut #OZG-Dashboard des BMI sind bereits 315 von 575 Leistungen (54,8%) "verfügbar". Die Rohdaten-Analyse von @LilithWittmann zeigt jedoch, dass erst 14 von 588 Leistungen (2,4%) den OZG-konformen Reifegrad 3 haben. Long way to go... #twitterverwaltung pic.twitter.com/kNLmqfpO4M

nsaphra @LeonDerczynski @GaryMarcus @elonmusk Yeah, cows are almost certainly sentient and we immobilize them, milk them until they bleed, and then kill them en masse. But a program might someday pass that level of awareness and it's like wow what hath god wrought

nsaphra @zacharylipton nobody:
I don't know who needs to hear this, but using memes to frame statements that stand without added context is a device, made necessary by irony poisoning, to distance ourselves from our own beliefs. thank you for coming to my ted talk. in this essay i will

LilithWittmann In 2 Jahren muss das #Onlinezugangsgesetz umgesetzt sein. Aber wo stehen wir heute?
Ich habe in den letzten Monaten dazu eine ganze Menge Daten gesammelt und ausgewertet (und während des #rc3 endlich ein #OZG-Dashboard gebaut).

WombatHB Ich wünschte, die Kultusminister würden allesamt aufhören, so zu tun, als ginge es bei der Öffnung der Schulen um Bildung.

Es geht um Geld und die Wirtschaftsleistung der Eltern. Das ist alles.

Sagt es einfach. Seid ein einziges Mal in eurem Leben aufrichtig.
