"Mike gave a legendary talk called “F*ck You, Pay Me,” with a title inspired by a quote from the late Ray Liotta in the 1990 movie “Goodfellas.”
What is interesting about this talk is that, despite being primarily directed to designers, its contents are immediately suitable for freelancing software engineers, a profession whose work is, at least since the return of Steve Jobs to Apple in 1997, inextricably linked to that of designers."

Mike Monteiro
Erika Hall and Mike Monteiro founded Mule Design, a design consultancy in San Francisco, around 20 years ago. Mike was (in)famously known around a decade ago on Twitter, where his profanity-laden rants about design, ethics (or lack thereof), unionization, and open condemnation of fascism, reached peaks of popularity and retweets.

This is the main square in Piran, Slovenia, early morning today. Only 10 minutes away, the 22nd Extended Semantic Web Conference ESWC 2025 will take place, starting on Sunday, June 1st, 2025. I'm looking forward to meeting dear colleagues as well as old and new friends, listening to exciting keynotes, great presentations, and many more activities.

fina slagord från solidariska byggare. Gick precis framför dem på första maj och jävlar vad de höll igång

"Bill Gates has never received a résumé from anyone who read all of TAOCP. There’s an urban legend (now sadly debunked) that Steve Jobs told Knuth he had “read all of his books”, to which Knuth replied “you are full of crap”.
While that tale is not true, nobody including Steve Jobs can say that they have read all of TAOCP. The reason is simple: it isn’t finished yet."

The Art Of "The Art Of Computer Programming"
A quote from the cover of Volume One of Professor Donald Knuth's Magnum Opus, "The Art of Computer Programming (3rd edition)": "If you think you're a really good programmer… read (Knuth's) Art of Computer Programming… You should definitely send me a résumé if you can read the whole thing." "Me" here refers to the author of the quote, Bill Gates.

Yesterday attending a project strategy meeting for MaterialDigital at the Institute for microtribology. No, I don’t have any idea why they have put this in front of it😜

Last week, we continued our #ISE2025 lecture on distributional semantics with the introduction of neural language models (NLMs) and compared them to traditional statistical n-gram models.
Benefits of NLMs:
- Capturing Long-Range Dependencies
- Computational and Statistical Tractability
- Improved Generalisation
- Higher Accuracy

In the #ISE2025 lecture today we were introducing our students to the concept of distributional semantics as the foundation of modern large language models. Historically, Wittgenstein was one of the important figures in the Philosophy of Language stating thet "The meaning of a word is its use in the language."
