I take back everything I've said about my dog developing service animal-like qualities.

Last night I had a panic attack/existential crisis, and her response was to rip a heinously disgusting fart that sent me running from the room.

It did stop the panic attack though...

Guess who went scavenging on her walk today? And yes, she carried this for the rest of the walk and right up into the house before we could take it away from her. (Tennis balls hurt her teeth; she has uncountably many gentler versions inside.)

So I've jokingly proposed this in the past, but would anyone be up for a disability/chronic illness BOF at conferences/events?

#SIGOUCH could totally be a real thing!

I'm getting ready for the kickoff of an #NSF POSE grant workshop. So many good papers to reference, so little time. I'd better start a Zotero library now... #OpenSource #Standards #Metadata

Next week I head to London for #MonkiGras! I have heard such wonderful things about it over the years, and I'm thrilled to attend my first, this one about #ArtificialIntelligence and culture.

Super excited to see Farrah Campbell and Brooke Jamieson speak 🎉

Speaking of #OpenAccess... The Communications of the @ACM is now open access! I've been an avid reader of the CACM for years now, and this is wonderful to see.

This is bad. Even setting apart problems that this poses on reproducibility and verifiability in #research, the disappearance of #OpenAccess publications is especially troubling, as it breaches the social contract of openness.

Looking forward to getting on one of my favorite soapboxes tonight at the University of Washington Data Science Seminar. The soapbox, you ask? Metrics in open source, of course!

My grandmother passed right before my ML talk at #FOSDEM. I had amazing support from my team to go home and back out of my talks at #SOOCon24 if I wanted to. But, I know what my grandmother would have said— the show must go on.

Yes, I had to get one more Queen reference in!

A brilliant overview of why you shouldn't use AI and ML interchangeably. @juliaferraioli is talking about the two camps of artificial intelligence, symbolic AI and machine learning. #fosdem
