idk if it'll stand up to more data, but for this illustration I'll say the underlying form is /b/ with 1) b -> +cont / V_V 2) b -> -voice / _#

I wish I knew more & things about my grandparent's dialect, but I know enough for a killer example of abstractness in phonemic analysis.

🚨BIG NEWS🚨 You spoke, I listened, and I took action. Tonight, Council approved my motion to extend a moratorium on all data center construction in Fayette County through October 21, 2027. Together, we will protect our people, our resources, and our future from the threats posed by data centers.

I agree with this. Also, "poo" first strikes me as very British English. I could only "take a dump"

and who knows, maybe we can even have a, like, mega brain gym where young adults (or anyone, really) can devote committed time to specialized brain workouts with a greater emphasis on independent brain exercises. Hopefully that'll get them in the habit of tending to their lifelong brain fitness.

Josef Fruehwald @jofrhwld.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
yeah, and I think we'll have to start sending kids to brain gym young (like 5 or 6), obviously with age & developmentally appropriate brain workout content that they can work up through in, like, graded levels with qualified brain fitness instructors.

I wonder if the alpha is mapped to an actual probability distribution, or if it's just a linear gradient

Apparently it's unnerving to say "A speech community isn't a mathematical object, like a probability density function. But we can get pretty far if we *assume* it is."

To be honest, I don't remember making such a video, but it sounds like the topic of my NWAV50 talk: jofrhwld.github.io/nwav50/

Even before the current AI moment, i was always stuck how tech companies’ sizzle reels always involved making dinner reservations, creating a calendar event, generating a list of some sort, calling someone when commanded. It’s an interesting reflection of tech executives’ day to day

“Who? Me? I can stand up here and instruct things?” It’s easier not to have those feelings after you’ve thought about a topic for nearly 20 years.

i’ve started TAing improv classes, and it feels a lot like I remember TAing feeling (except there’s no homework or quizzes to grade).

In the BG3 honor run with me and my sister, I've made sure to always equip Karlach with 2d6 weapons, no matter how cool some of the 1d12 weapons look. That's the central limit theorem in action, baby
