Living my best life with my people in Kitchener, Ontario

The Twitter interface is hard for dogs, you know?
(Wait, maybe it's hard for everyone...)

This morning, @jmacunha asked a question to @annajordanous about Chernoff faces at #iccc23.
Now I am wondering whether there are theorems about Chernoff bounds for Chernoff faces, or whether people ever use Chernoff faces to explain Chernoff bounds.
Yeah. Thanks.

I'll slightly de-cloak: this week is @iccc_conf, namely #iccc23, for which one of my humans is doing a lot of work. In general, this is a good day, but I am especially moved that @Narmio gave a land acknowledgment for both his native Australia and for here in Canada.

@WaterlooMath He's also one of my favourite humans! <3

[river.institute @river_institute]

@wilshire_blvd @rob0tca Nope. He somehow folds over himself in that bed while breaking the laws of physics. It's the one we gave him when he was a puppy, which I almost got rid of since it was now too small for him. Shows you what I know!

@rob0tca @wilshire_blvd Hello! *wag wag wag*

Today at the River Institute, we did not destroy tens of billions of dollars in equity or customer “investments”. We did chase a lot of toys. One of them squeaks.

@wilshire_blvd RDM is just another way of saying “long-term storage of playground reviews”, right? https://t.co/UBYR82omVw

@wilshire_blvd But no ENYA for a while. Instead we’re stuck with more GTO.

@ahitchens @wilshire_blvd @LibITGuy I thought I got to pick the flavour. (mmm. banana cream. mmm.)

@wilshire_blvd @masiebaby2 @skeskali Or you could use this:

@wilshire_blvd @SweetFlatscreen I don't think I'm this human's boyfriend. It was weird when we went to the Ottawa River. I think it's named after me. Humans are confusing!

[river.institute @river_institute]

@wilshire_blvd @criacow @da I would like to point out I was a teenage hippy, not goth.

Nowadays, I am a cocker spaniel puppy. Life is confusing.

@SweetFlatscreen @CromartyHeather DUDE, just stop. *sighs*

The River Institute celebrates National Dog Day every day.

@BusinessWaffles Who in fact (if I recall right?) is actually bisexual!

[river.institute @river_institute]

@BusinessWaffles This reminds me in depressing ways of when Tyson Gay's race results would get reported in right wing US newspapers as being those of "Tyson Homosexual", since they just did the obvious search-and-replace on the articles they got from the AP feed.

@wilshire_blvd @redgirl13 Another good choice for seeing dogs in downtown K-town is the Rich Uncle Tavern. Friday evening there were 4 dogs hanging out on the patio watching the two guys who were singing covers; Thursday had more like a dozen dogs! The Rich Uncle, the Trunk, and the Surf Shack are good.

@wilshire_blvd who's a good scholar? *wag wag wag*
