On Tuesday night, I successfully defended my #PhD thesis on #dataset #documentation as a leverage point for better speech technologies at #ANU #Cybernetics! 🎉
I have some minor corrections and then I will officially be a #PhD. It's been a long six years!

#TIL that you can work with multiple branches in #Git simultaneously via 'git worktree'. I think this will certainly help make #Tenacity maintenance much easier as I won't have to keep switching between different branches and perform virtually an entire rebuild between the latest stable and development branches. This way, I could more easily test two branches in parallel.
I think this will make Tenacity maintenance MUCH easier! I'm very excited to see how this will improve my workflow too! 😄
As ICE terrorizes communities, crypto executives who spent years posting about freedom have gone conspicuously silent. But behind the scenes, they’ve contributed at least $315 million — more than double their record 2024 spending — to elect more lawmakers to enable this administration.

And not by telling them to paste shit in a Terminal! Or telling them to switch distros. Or guessing because you’re on a different distro and don’t know the answer. Or asking fucking ChatGPT. Contributing noise is of negative value

Just installed @delta and was under the impression that it was email based. I expected to have to put in some email credentials and use my local email server. But instead it created a disconnected profile and just uses IMAP as a transport?
delta.chat/en/help does not make clear how this actually works.
Decentralised is a great buzz word, but without better description of how it works makes it difficult to trust.
delta.chat/en/help#security-au… doesn't mention architecture, just encryption.

NDP MP calls on government to sanction Canadian companies doing business with ICE
cbc.ca/news/politics/ndp-mp-sa…
David "Chamberlain" Carney will just ignore this like he ignored the needs of Canadians.
Companies include Pattisson, Hootsuite and GardaWorld.
The headline could have put 'NDP MP Heather McPherson calls on...' in the headline.
I don't know if the CBC is trying to avoid giving extra attention to an NDP leadership candidate, or if they're just writing clickbait, or if the CBC avoids naming women as policy, or if their headline writers are just plain incompetent.
I don't know anything about Gulfstream jets but I'm now assuming they're death traps.

It feels like the alt text advice “describe what you see” being replaced with the alt text advice “don’t describe why you see” coincides a little too neatly with the rise of machine-generated alt text.
I’m always interested to hear from people who rely on this, though, and the common point being raised—AI just describing an image doesn’t tell the non-sighted reader what’s important or how it’s relevant to the post—is well-taken.
oh, man! that's a great idea. I'd listen to that.
I'd love her feedback on my descriptions, would love to know if I'm painting the picture adequately for you.
Cuando era profe intentaba contar un chiste malo nuevo cada semana, voy a hacer un hilo recopilatorio de los que consiga recordar. Se aceptan sugerencias.
"Entra Jesucristo en un bar y todo el mundo empieza a reírse, ¿por qué?
— Es la gracia del señor."
"¿Sabéis cómo es el wifi en el Vaticano?
Con-clave."
