Some recent baby sentences: "Daddy eat" (Daddy eat it) "It Dada" (= Sit Dada, Dada sit with me / I sit with Dada)
Dadding is great because not only do you get no credit for parenting the hard way, you also get criticized for not parenting like a woman

Google does not let you search about ai policy without using ai because adding "-ai" deletes material that mentions ai. 🤦♂️ This is so stupid, how is it still not in settings? (mute words: LLMs, text extruders, stochastic parrots)
Like Loebs? Every fall semester, I like to remind people that while Perseus has many free Loebs sectioned up into book and chapter, if you want to download and read the public domain Loebs (277 of them) as PDFs or txt files, Duke U's very own Ryan Baumann created _Loebolus 📗📕_. ryanfb.xyz/loebolus/

As most universities lean into ai (LLMs, stochastic parrots, text extruders, genAI, whatever), I kinda figured we would see certain universities reject AI writing in its entirety. . . . . Has that happened anywhere?

Ahhhh Kosraean shares this with Marshallese. That is so cool
Markˣ@shjsat.bsky.social · 7d agoKosraean consonants come in three flavors: velarized, rounded, and plain. Velarized consonants are represented with a following ⟨w⟩, and rounded with ⟨o⟩.
I just recorded my son for over ten minutes of monologue explaining to me how he plans (imaginary) ten-day camping trips in Headquarters China (that's his imaginary city/country). On my résumé, can this go under "oral history fieldwork"?
I reckon I could automate semantic domain assignment for lexical items (maybe with simplified English glosses) ... Anyone have rough ideas for a workflow for that?
I'm waiting for my son to get his shoes and he yelled, "just you wait!" which yields a very different interpretation from "you just wait"
Everyone says, "tire your kids out so they sleep!" I have three versions of this: 1) Kid plays outside, sleeps 4–6, then is up way past bedtime 2) Kid plays inside with friends, gets keyed up, is up way past bedtime 3) Heat exhaustion, kid weeps and mopes and then is up way past bedtime
I went to Real County today. Saw zero giraffes. 😤 I want my money back.
I find myself asking my son, "Why are you running?" But I already know the answer. It is the same reason I run. Walking is slow and boring.
Anyone have suggestions for online arabic classes for kids? The one my kid uses makes us both lose our will to live
I watched Devil Wears Prada 2 and weirdly spent the whole movie thinking "man it would be nice to be able to work 16 hours a day again"
Maybe it's just me but Little girls : wedding day :: little boys : leading a tent camping trip??
I've heard a couple of recent English-language songs where word-final /r/ sounds like [j]! Anyone else heard this? e.g. Dua Lipa - "End of an Era" [at 0:45, "pleasure", "together"] www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWw3...

I bought a hydration vest so I guess this endurance thing is getting serious
*so much free time* "Hmm, maybe I can finally finish my novel after all these years" "You're writing a novel?" "No, reading one."
Most of my use cases for Python are finicky text replacement for editing large files, and I can usually just do it in BBEdit rather than opening Python in Terminal.
Pohnpeian wotd kalapwuhs 'jail, prison' Spanish calabozo 'dungeon' > English calaboose 'a local jail' > Pohnpeian kalapwuhs Always a pleasure to find a word that comes from an English word that I didn't know in the first place.
The important thing about today's ten-miler is that I saw two jackrabbits and a fox. 🦊
My very boring answer would just be all the grammars and dictionaries for all the (less studied) languages
G. Willow Wilson@gwillow.me · 6d agoWhat's your personal great white whale of an unsolved mystery? The thing you desperately hope is solved before you die because you need to know the answer? Mine is the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum heist. Where the hell are the Rembrandts. I need the full story
If I ever strike it super rich, I'm not going to invest in stocks like some corporate stooge. I'll buy ancient golden artefacts and stash them in an uninhabited location behind a series of deadly puzzles, requiring intricate knowledge of ancient cultures and languages
