You laugh but if you're in a pickle, 22/7 varies from pi by less than one part in a thousand.

I have strong opinions about "The Bandwagon". I certainly don't think Shannon was wrong but I think his argument is widely misunderstood, in ways that have held back important applications of information theory. In some ways, I wish he hadn't written it.

Is there a word for the feeling of frustration when, in the instant between when you decide to click on a link and when you actually click on it, something loads in the background which shifts the page and you end up clicking on something else entirely?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but "label created" is not "shipped".

It's too bad because I was looking forward to going to ISIT this year, a conference I haven't been to in a few years.

The tariffs applied to Canadian goods are, from the words of the president himself, an explicit threat to Canadian sovereignty.

Accordingly, while they are in effect, I will not use Canadian grant funds to travel to the United States, and I think my Canadian colleagues should do likewise.

(N5 is the lowest level they test. But it's a start.)

I am going to have to go through the response to reviewers carefully to make sure no swear words get through.

Reviewer [after we added pages of material in response to their comments in the last round]: The paper is now too long

Same reviewer in this round: Please add a tutorial on linear algebra to the model section.

I'm so sorry to hear, my condolences.

If you notify me that the order has shipped, but when I check the tracking link it says "label created", then you are a bad person.
