No one should be taken seriously when they say things like “update my priors” unless they can explain how to derive the Kalman filter. Desperate times call for desperate measures, people!

I picked up a copy of the collected letters of JRR Tolkien for reasons, and this is the most bullshit table of contents I've ever seen. I'm actively angry that it exists
Contents

Introduction - vii

Foreword to the Revised and Expanded Edition - xi

Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien - 1

Notes - 607

There should be a better way for @openreview.bsky.social to tell the reviewers that the reviewees have responded. There's no way they need to send one email for each comment from the authors.
My outlook inbox with several unread emails telling me that a new comment has been posted in a paper I'm reviewing.

This is going to come across as pretentious and unhelpful, but I really recommend reading books. Reading a book is the only thing I do where I feel like I'm nourishing my attention span, rather than sanding it down. The trick is to just read whatever you enjoy — not what you feel like you should.

there’s a peer-reviewed article on how professors who bring students baked goods get higher evaluation scores. my colleague would bring this article & homemade cookies to class the day students filled evals out, tell them evals aren’t effective measures of teaching, then leave them to it.
