New Anthropic research: A global workspace in language models.
Of everything happening in your brain right now, only a tiny fraction is consciously accessible—thoughts you can describe, hold in mind, and reason with.
We found a strikingly similar divide inside Claude.
RSyntaxTree, a tool for drawing linguistic syntax trees from bracket notation, was briefly offline last week and is now back online. Useful for syntax courses, linguistics papers, and teaching materials. Thanks for your patience.
TCSE — TED Corpus Search Engine — was briefly offline last week and is back online. Search across 6,400+ TED talk transcripts for linguistic research, language teaching, and corpus-based examples. Sorry for any inconvenience.
https://t.co/9ZyYPk59AB's apps were briefly offline last week (kernel update). All back online. jReadability scores Japanese text difficulty, jWriter gives AI-based feedback on learner writing, JEV checks vocabulary level. Apologies for the disruption.
Version 1.0 of the Grammaticon is now finally online! Quite a few of the entries are still preliminary, but I hope to expand and improve it over the coming months and years. Comments are welcome! An intro text is here: https://t.co/XCsLeUl04g
I benchmarked which language works best with Claude Code. Ruby, Python, and JavaScript came out cheapest,
fastest, and most stable!

To keep the old ICLC 2019 website accessible, the site has been migrated to a new permanent URL: https://t.co/kPdd2SQpYD . It is now a static archive hosted on Cloudflare Pages (free), so dynamic features like search are no longer available. The current domain (https://t.co/sfVCEBlQf7) will redirect for now but will eventually be discontinued. @iclc15
I just finished listening to Project Hail Mary on Audible. It's a novel set in 2021, so while there are AI-like technologies, there's no generative AI. At first, I thought this made the novel seem a bit dated. However, I couldn't help but see Rocky—an alien engineer who can create literally anything—as a kind of metaphor for AI agents like Claude Code, which actually makes it feel quite modern to me. Incredibly entertaining!
