@SwordsExpress Been waiting for an hour in a long queue at Holywell stop, two busses came by both full. Ridiculous.

@VodafoneIreland On the third day of no internet here in Swords. Every day the same story that it'll be done by 7 pm that day. Never had this problem with @virginmedia. #GigabitGigaGone

As someone hard of hearing, I was delighted to see this! https://t.co/D7zJsmHueS

1/ Here’s a short story about Tania Singer stepping down as Max Planck director after an investigation found “significant failures in leadership”. A few points to come

Tania Singer will be resigning as director at the MPI.

[Kai Kupferschmidt @kakape]

According to the Max Planck Society, a committee to investigate the allegations against Tania Singer, that I first reported in August this year for @NewsfromScience, has “confirmed that significant failures in leadership had occurred”.

Thread of truth.

In case you were unaware and in my experience many of you are unaware

If a marginalized person tells you about an incident where they were discriminated against and how that hurt them

& you respond with "oh they probably didn't mean it that way"

You are gaslighting them

@UrsulaV Arma virumque cano
Troiae qui primus ab oris Italiam...

in dactylic hexameter, at that. And I don't even like the Aeneid. At ALL.

@sadie_seduskie @theladyscribe Sounds like they are true to the book, then-- when I read it I also hated everyone except Julia.

[Dr. Bethany Kok @bethany_kok]

Diving into the #Enron #Emails to find gender markers in professional written dialogue-- there's so much academic and #DataScience work on this dataset, it's funny to think we only have it from #FERC by chance. https://t.co/zM3XFctTw5

Using AI to generate contents for simulations... #predictconf

[Dr. Bethany Kok @bethany_kok]

@predictconf NLP for content generation, actually. :)

[Dr. Bethany Kok @bethany_kok]

Lots of #timeseries data at #predictconf - great to see data scientists grappling with time.

[Dr. Bethany Kok @bethany_kok]

Takeaway from #predictconf Explainable Artificial Intelligence talk by @drlongoluca: it is super hard and we can't do it well yet.

[Dr. Bethany Kok @bethany_kok]

Distributional Semantic Models to track changes in the meaning of words with @headlighty at #predictconf!

@athanatizein @RemiGau I always decoded it as "we tried a million things until we got the results we wanted, but nobody remembers what we did."
