- Randomly stumbled on an arxiv paper where im pretty sure the listed affiliations are false, what would you even get out of that?
- Been reading a lot of old-school finite-state automata papers for a project It is so refreshing to read an interesting, colorfully-written paper that isn’t hyperoptimized for reviewer preferences
- I have very mixed feelings on the current era in tech—I started a PhD because I thought LLMs were pretty cool, but I absolutely cannot stand the disingenuous hype, insane competitiveness, and slop features that have since come with them

- Interested in ML open source? There’s a great list for you
- Here is a list of ML OSS & Open Source / Science enthusiasts I found on Bluesky 🦋 go.bsky.app/8MFcfXd Let me know if you find such people here! I'm still new here and probably the list misses many must-add people, so let's built it together💪at://did:plc:jlxytlynjyfdlw62ewne7kkg/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lbeitbkeck24
- Python typing is great until you want to use any package ever
- Just got ICL surgery (implantable lenses) and on one hand, modern medicine is incredible, but on the other hand seeing your eye get sliced open is terrifying
- Arxiv should have a comment section
- Just remade my personal website (michaelginn.com) with pure old-school HTML/CSS, and it’s honestly all you need
- If you're an NLP researcher and haven't made it into either Starter Pack yet, please let me know! We're over halfway full at this point 😧 go.bsky.app/JgneRQkat://did:plc:tj7jc54fic4zlahv4qfmg7mq/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3las2wmbj2e2s
