It has been quite a while since I read a hard copy of newspaper. Took a tea break at a cafe, and was greeted by this pleasing headline and story. #ethics #LegalEthics #LawFedi

I'm a week into my fellowship at the Forum Basiliense at the University of Basel. It's an incredibly lovely and welcoming University, and I'm really grateful to them for inviting me. I am, however, already panicking about how quickly time is passing.

No, that does not sound stressful at all... 🤸
The sketches are helpful. Although I'm not reading J's book (sorry), this is indeed the kind of picture I had in mind. (I'm using Ismael's How physics makes us free as a proxy. But was also thinking of possible infinite hierarchy, like in List&Pivato.)
My earlier remark was case 1): consistent GoL rules on both levels.
New idea is close to case 2): there could be 'default' rules at the C level, with exceptions caused by certain P.

Next month in Classic Metal Class, Scott & I are going to revisit the topic of what makes greatest or best albums such, looking at major 1980s L.A. metal bands
We're starting with RATT. If you're a fan, which of their albums do you think is the best? And why that one?

Well, all the grading is done and final grades are assigned for one of my academic classes. Taking a break for lunch, and then gotta dive back in and get grading for the other one finished up

So, this is all while the US explicitly opposes specifically this as well. Seems like their attack dog is completely out of control now.

I have been introducing some students to some basic ideas in logic and formal semantics. I used 'forall x: Calgary', and Heim & Kratzer's 'Semantics in Generative Grammar'. Is there an equivalent of the Open Logic Project for semantics or syntax?

My colleague Mitchell & partner just escorted a family of lost geese to the lake.
Safely navigating 2km of downtown #Toronto took 2 hours.
At one point, police stepped in to block traffic.
Strangers jumped in to help too.

Stack Overflow announced that they are partnering with OpenAI, so I tried to delete my highest-rated answers.
Stack Overflow does not let you delete questions that have accepted answers and many upvotes because it would remove knowledge from the community.
So instead I changed my highest-rated answers to a protest message.
Within an hour mods had changed the questions back and suspended my account for 7 days.

This is a problem, for the first time in the history of the United States, billionaires had a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans. The same problem also applies to countries in europe. Rich people can too easily avoid taxes. (giftarticle)
