Because I need distraction…. Here’s another #DogsOfMastodon #WetNoseWednesday #woofday #dogs #dailydoggo
@Noir_kincade robots of the dawn by Isaac Aasimov is a true classic of that exact genre.
@adamdavidson For me the move to @Mastodon as part of the #twittermigration has been a fascinating study in human behavior, and yes the debate is good. The platform had been here awhile, had a history and stakeholders and culture (including past conflicts and problem-solving), including the decentralized nature. Some new arrivals were immediately in take-charge mode; others like tourists rolling off a bus and bellying up to the bar; some curious and respectful, others dismissive.
@marathon0 @joshbrownneuro lol guess @Twitter does not have a monopoly when it comes to snobbery, who knew? 😂

@marathon0 @joshbrownneuro True, but I kind of see it more as a dig against the elitism of @Twitter that everyone here can just get it for free.

If indeed the fungus was introduced via the supplemental feed.
Hi, I'm a computational linguist: I develop models of how people learn language and use language, and I test those models on real-world data. One focus of my work has been on lexical semantics, looking at how the meanings of words can be learnt from context, and indeed how meanings should be represented in the first place. This work is necessarily interdisciplinary, drawing on linguistics, philosophy of language, cognitive science, and machine learning.
It confuses me that so many people are saying they are lost here. Just sit still, watch the #fediverse world go by in your local feed. Just let the interesting people float by for you to follow or not as you please.

@massimopizzol Wonderful! I sent a request through researchgate. Looking forward to reading your work.
Do we have up-to-date estimates of the Phillips Curve? https://johnhcochrane.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-phillips-curve.html Asking since it looks to me worrying that a likely brittle relationship b/w unemployment and inflation is driving current policymaking. #economics
I abandonned Twitter almost 5 years ago for all the reasons one might expect. I remained ignorant until today that an open source equivalent existed. Thanks to the recent exodus from that platform the resulting news stories alerted me to this decelopment. I am pleasantly surprised so far. Thanks #mastodon
It's a good thing we no longer need the voting rights act, or things like this might happen. ![]()
@massimopizzol Hello! Your paper for me is behind a paywall, which I sadly cannot afford. Would you be willing to send me a copy? I'd love to read it. Cheers!
..and much more.
