Rich Ross

@DKThomp I seem to remember an episode of Plain English about Eurovision and voting patterns. Could you help me to find it? Google and searching The Ringer's site was not helpful. Thanks for the pods either way!

The rumors are true - arXiv now has HTML versions of papers! 👀Experimental for now & only available on new papers, but we're working on bringing it to all of arXiv. HTML is important for #accessibility in research - more on the blog: tinyurl.com/arxivHTML

I'll be talking AI and Higher Ed today at #SXSWEDU . It should be a great panel with perspectives in industry, faculty, and institutional representation! See this session at schedule.sxswedu.com/2023/events/PP…

@joey_stan Well done! I've never tried the combination, but Chili Cheese Fritos are S-tier among chips.

In grad school I celebrated major milestones with chili cheese Fritos and spinach dip. I haven't had an excuse to indulge for a while, but I just submitted my third-year review and I figure that's as good an excuse as any to celebrate.

@joey_stan Microsoft recently invested another ~$10B in openAI, so word might have chatGPT integration or similar in the next little bit.

Word now has autocomplete?

New paper on Order of Operations in Linguistics Vanguard. It's a follow-up to the one that came out in PWPL a couple months ago. This time, I explain what exactly the consequence is when various processing steps are swapped. 1/ degruyter.com/document/doi/1…

@joey_stan Is this thing certain to collapse? I've seen some things but it seems so crazy.

All of us right now.

I'll be here tomorrow. I join with my students, my colleagues, and all of the @UVA community in mourning the loss of Lavel, D'Sean, and Devin.

Memorial run for Lavel, D'Sean, and Devin. 4pm. Thursday. Scott Stadium.

Light in darkness. Thanks to our students for lighting the way.

I introduce myself by the name "Rich Ross", but a surprising number of people call me just "Ross" as well as many variations (Dr. Richard etc). @joey_stan you also have "two first names", does this happen to you much?

"It is right that each of us try many things that do not work -- that we tackle more problems than we make expert analyses of. We often learn less from an expertly done analysis than from one where we missed an opportunity -- at least until we were told about it" - John Tukey

@brianbuccola @joey_stan It does help that the book is also good

@brianbuccola @joey_stan As a marketing tactic, it works! I've never heard people discuss the title of a linear algebra book as much as this one 🤣🤣

I know fields can differ drastically but I simply cannot imagine writing a book called "Formal Semantics Done Right" and then looking my colleagues in the eyes at the next SALT/SuB.

@joey_stan Was it nice?

Took a nap on my office floor today. Do I win a prize?

@thoughtafox Unfortunately no; this on my list of things to check in on over the summer!

@StatRichRoss Did you ever figure this out? I've got the same issue now... seems like it should be more straightforward than it is! :)

#rstats I'm writing a .Rmd file with child documents feeding into the parent. Could anyone help me find out the right way to run each child on its own? I think I need to specify a parent document, but I'm struggling to find the actual correct syntax. #rmarkdown Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to take this moment to appreciate the wonderful folks at @doi2bib. Its been a very helpful tool and I'm anxious to donate soon!

Does anyone know how to get a summary of your classes engagement on @Campuswire (number of comments, number of endorsements etc)? @campuswirebrian . I've tried using the help feature on campuswire with no luck and no response for ~2 weeks.

Weird #rstats #datasets question. Is there a more modern version of mtcars? I enjoy mtcars, but would like something from this century and wonder if it is already assembled somewhere.
