I've got some bad news for you about how papers published at NLP conferences are reviewed.

I used XTDB on a side project (written in Clojure) a couple years ago and was blown away by something that I think isn't even really stressed as a headliner feature for XTDB. That was the ability to treat queries as first-class data. X

Yeah, it's too heavy for some things, but it's situationally very awesome. Fulcro takes the fantasy of "reusable components" very seriously, more seriously than any other frontend framework I'm aware of, and designs

You might be curious to know that philosophers and linguists would see your (good) examples as violations of the Gricean maxim of quantity. More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_principle

Full-throatedly acknowledging that people with nonstandard language practices are discriminated against is not really the look I think you want to have.

It is true that it will make one's passage through society easier if they are able to reproduce standardized spellings. Insofar as this sign is a signal that teachers are failing to equip students for life in that way, sure, it's

Or nobody ever cared, since forming an opinion of someone or an organization solely based on whether they can reproduce standardized spellings is myopic at best.

Speaking as someone who works in AI and as a linguist: this is really impressive, but be aware the grammatical phenomena involved here are common enough that they were surely well represented in linguistic texts in GPT3.5's training co

Is there any empirical backing for this narrative? Some of this reads as pretty counter to intuition. Most suspicious in my mind is the core presupposition (not a contention, a presupposition--the article doesn't even argue for it!) th

I think the author's referring to the multiple implementations of persistent maps (i.e. APersistentMap). Clojure's generated docs[1] say there are four implementations (PersistentArrayMap, PersistentHashMap, PersistentStructMap, P

I always thought so too, but I think what's actually going on is that MDN is like an engineering professor, and w3schools is like a high school shop teacher. The former gives you information that is more correct and deeper but can ling

Hm, is this really a dangling modifier? Something's a dangling modifier when its modificand is unexpressed or ambiguous, but "for cancer research" has a clear modificand, the noun phrase headed by "minutes". Rather,

Didn't we try behaviorism out until in the 50's we decided this notion of "context" was either too small or too intractably expansive to be useful, let alone explanatory, and that it was necessary to start thinking about

GP's point is that while yes, we know since `f` has arity 1 there's no ambiguity, in general you might not have the arity of any given function fresh in your head, and therefore can't tell (in Ruby) just from looking at `f f
