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).

Part of the reason is also because we’re so passionate about writing comprehensive detailed letters for our students, that sometimes it gets hard to manage the time.

DJ 🐳 @djain.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Yes, this is a great idea (thanks for making it easy for us to write letters!). My students too do that for the most part. Still gets a lot considering the over 20+ requests, each with 10+ schools, I may get.

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. 🫡
