It's Bayes Days at Crummy as Leonard introduces comments, gasp,…
Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2003 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
It's Bayes Days at Crummy as Leonard introduces comments, gasp, with Bayesian abuse/spam filtering.
My subconscious really phoned it in last night. I dreamt that our IT manager got a haircut.
This morning a Morning Edition story covered the housing boom in Moscow. The NPR reporter solemnly stated, "What they're digging, is a hole in the ground." This cracks me up. It's the "Now is still the time" of NPR sentences.
Also, what's with the pause-laden cadence of NPR reporters? Today's Carol Lay cartoon helped me realize that NPR newsreaders read as though they were reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
