Bad idea of the day: automatically replace words with synonyms that have more phoneme sequences in common with the previous word (post-processing)
Hot take: the existence of garden path sentences tells us that: 1) language isn’t so much a representation of meaning as a way of representing constraints for possible intepretation, and 2) we start processing before all the constraints have arrived
Hot take: in a system where both success and failure compound themselves & affect later likelihood of success & failure respectively, even extreme outcome variation is best explained by random fluctuations early in the process
Band name of the day: process s
Band name of the day: process and reality

logging, cgroup-based process management, and much more. (Read
