Request: watch the "with ASL" version please! (if it's available in NZ...is it?) Help show that there's demand for sign

It’s interesting to reconcile the idea that LLMs learn and use language just like humans do with the fact that their training and data storage needs are so resource-intensive they’re going to destroy the planet.

Wow, those stimuli kids are emoting so well. I love this

This is great!!

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning..

We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance.

And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use!

Whoever designed the recommendation letter forms that make the assumption that I categorize my students into percentiles of how they rank among all students I've ever taught:

I rank you in the bottom 1% of all survey designers.

Calendar booking page for a 30-minute meeting. Contains fields for First Name, Last Name, Email address, Preferred Language (English, ASL), and Reason for Meeting

You did not ask for advice (sry!!), but I use the free google calendar booking page for professional and personal meetings. Adding a "Reason for meeting" field helped me so much and (knock on wood) even though it's optional, people always respond to that field.

As a deaf person with a deaf kid, I'm the first to admit IDEA isn't perfect. I fight people's (often willful) misinterpretations of the Least Restrictive Environment every day. Just gave a lecture at BU about how change is needed. Deleting all legal oversight in the middle of the night isn't it.

Measuring the semantic priming effect across many languages - Nature Human Behaviour In this Stage 2 Registered Report, Buchanan et al. show evidence confirming the phenomenon of semantic priming across speakers of 19 diverse languages.

@clauslamm.bsky.social & I contributed to a global study that analyzed 21 million trials across 30 languages, revealing semantic priming [SP] as a robust cognitive mechanism across cultures and writing systems.

ooooh, can you share the % that end up being real / still-valid addresses?

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.

Jenna Norton and Naomi Caselli in front of Naomi’s poster at the science fair for canceled grants.

At the Science Fair for canceled grants, I had the privilege of speaking with @naomicaselli.bsky.social. Her team (which includes deaf researchers) were making breakthroughs to better identify & address language deprivation — when the Trump administration terminated their grant.

Okay y’all, gather round for a chat. It’s been a roller coaster, and I thought I’d share what we’ve learned. 🧵 (1/16)
