Anyone recommend any parsers for ASCII-style proof notation? Stuff like this: plfa.github.io/Lambda/#derivat

Python: "we renamed `bad_name` to `much_better_name`, isn't that neat!"

Python programmers: "cool, yeah, so we're gonna have to import `six.bad_name_compat` to get that from now on"

Why you shouldn't wait for "problems to come up" before making your spaces accessible.

I'm engaging in a lot of encounters lately where people see me masked and ask "oh should I grab a mask?" And I know it comes from a good place, but it can be really exhausting. Why? Let's talk about access labor. 1/10

Yes.

@quatoria@twitter.com Serious question -- if COVID will never go away... are you going to mask-up for the rest of your life.

Truly cannot overstate how many problems in the Python ecosystem are solved by trying again next week.

Unfortunately, I can relate ๐Ÿ˜“

It's extremely common to (1) never really look at all your dataโ€”there's just too much!โ€”and (2) to start with someone else's pre-trained modelโ€”it's too expensive to train from scratch!โ€”with no way to know on what data it was trained.

Genuinely horrified by this thread since to me "unreachable via text" and "very stable" (in both the woman's features and the gore theme) means there's a good chance that there's a lot of unlabeled images in the dataset depicting the abuse of one specific woman.

๐Ÿงต: I discovered this woman, who I call Loab, in April. The AI reproduced her more easily than most celebrities. Her presence is persistent, and she haunts every image she touches. CW: Take a seat. This is a true horror story, and veers sharply macabre.

So Springer now wants us to hawk our own publications, and offers us 30% commission on those sales of our work that WE make? Cool.

I guess just doing the research, writing, reviewing, and editing wasnโ€™t enough? ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

And maybe you could use Ruby's method call or block syntax to hack parentheses or curly braces into your DSL?

Show thread

You could probably define a function which within its block argumentt overrides the kernel method_missing, so sentences don't need a set starting word.

Show thread

An object with a BNF grammar and an evaluation function, which feeds its method_missing to a shift/reduce parser and returns itself, except when the full input is consumed, when it passes the resulting tree to the evaluation function, and returns the result.

Show thread

Please, someone tell me not to do this, I don't have the handwidth to spare.

Show thread

If you write a parser as a Ruby object that consumes its method_missing arguments, I guess you could just do full blown NLP or define any context-free grammar as a DSL?
