I have given up on all sorts of ~cool~ word processing approaches for writing my book (Zettlr, Ulysses, Scrivener, etc) and am going to do it all in Google Docs because of citation support and the instant sync / sharing options. Honestly feels heretical.

What is $131,742? Answer: this is how much it costs me to fund a PhD student per year for a full RAship in CS at UW (including 100% during the summer). PhD funding can be a confusing topic at US universities. Want to learn more? Take a look at our lab handbook: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is an interesting observation. AI facilitates the creation and reinforcement of a fascist aesthetic, where everyone can appear to be “perfect” (youthful, conforming, masculine men and feminine women).

When requesting a letter of rec, I’m proactive by offering to draft my interactions w the prof & dates, goals, achievements, etc. Although not all this info may be included, it considers prof’s busy schedules & gives them a better sense of who I am. Perhaps your students can help you in this way?

Audio #production, #mixing, and #mastering tip: Rather than thinking of #mid/side as a way to manipulate the center and edges of the stereo field (it’s not), think of it as X-specific width control. EQ? Frequency-specific width control. Compression? Level-specific width control. 🫡
