Podcasts about dictionaries

Welcome to four letter word season! We're kicking off with one of the most versatile words: it can be a noun, verb, punctuation, expostulation, full sentence on its own; it can be an intensifier, an insult and a compliment... and a Category A swear, which is why I've had to sanitise it for the title lest your pod app takes exception. And, of course, content note: this episode contains many category A swears, plus some sexual references. Lexicographer and editor Jesse Sheidlower joins to talk about making four editions (so far) of The F Word, a history and dictionary of the multivalent F word. Find his work at jessesword.com. Find out more about the episode and read the transcript at theallusionist.org/ffff (that's four Fs). Next up in Four Letter Word season: we revisit an even stronger swear.

Dictionaries say being lonely is the same thing as feeling lonesome. But I have found that lonesome is a much deeper feeling of sadness, isolation and melancholy. I hope you enjoy our walkabout through Lonesome Park as we read the signs with quotes about being lonesome and the comments others have written in the journal. I encourage you to journal you're comments as you begin to walk past and away from that lonesome feeling.

Dave Brisbin 11.10.24 What do you think of as a miracle? Seas parting, walking on water, healings? Dictionaries tell us miracles are events not explainable by natural or scientific laws. But what if an event is not explainable to or by you personally? Or leaves inexplicable space between data points? When you raise your hand, can you explain that? What happened between unthought intention and action? When you think a thought, where did it come from? When you forget, where did it go? A thing doesn't have to be spectacular to be inexplicable. Common, everyday events are as well. Maybe a better definition of a miracle is a gift that we could never have given ourselves. Birth. Next breath. A friend's forgiveness. Abraham Heschel, the great Jewish theologian, said that his greatest talent was his ability to be surprised. Jesus, another Jew, never gravitated far from a child's point of view, and the genius of children is to live in a world that is magical—full of surprises and inexplicable gifts immune to the density of entitlement, the illusion we've earned all we have. Children embody Jesus' Kingdom as a state of amazed gratitude, but life works against our inner child. Hard work breeds entitlement and familiarity breeds contempt. Still, some moments cut through: surprising enough that miraculous gifts reveal themselves—smiles spreading without permission. But a lot of life can slip by between such uncultivated moments, and if we're waiting, we're neither grateful nor amazed. The 10th Step of AA is continuing to take personal inventory; if we limit it to mere cataloging of defects and bad behavior, we miss it. Chesterton said we see things fairly when we see them first…recovering the candor and wonder of the child, the unspoiled realism and objectivity of innocence. The 10th Step is the fulcrum on which the other eleven are balanced—the practiced ability to see ourselves and life as if for the first time is both the cause and effect of our transformation. It's a swimming against the current of life that keeps us surprisable, seeing the miraculous in the commonplace, grateful and amazed at gifts we could never give ourselves.

Liza has been qualified for and in & out of a host of 12-step rooms throughouther entire life, beginning at 8 years old... Every manner of program opportunity relative to familial, chemical, physical, mental, relational, emotional, behavioral, medical, traumatic, legal, experiential... Liza hasn't had (or wanted) an alcoholic beverage since Dec. 31, 1993. Her highest weight was 387 pounds. Liza has been entirely freed from all manner of disordered eating and food matters since inspired Ketogenic eating as a way of life since September 8, 2018, easily maintaining a stable weight of 130 pounds. The simplest truth and reality is that she is quite literally alive today because she finally found everything she had ever been looking for (and so much more) when she discovered recorded shares and real live people reading and living by everything described in that book (Big Book of AA) that sat dusty and resented on her shelves all of these years, and making the decision to join them in doing the same. Liza has been in more 12 Step fellowships than can be reasonably named here and is very active in service in her fellowships.  Today she speaks to us on formulas, dictionaries, and mind movies.Reco12 is all about exploring the common threads of addiction and sharing tools and hope from those on a similar path.

Regular listeners will know that Dr. Dan is not of fan of definitions. Dictionaries aren't rulebooks, he'll say, they're attempts to describe how words are being used. So when the Data Over Dogma show is all about what two words mean, you know it ain't going to be simple. The first word we're looking at is "religion". We'll cover the origin of the word, and really try to get a handle on what that conceptual category is trying to get at. Will we succeed? That's for you to decide. The next word, as the episode title suggests, is "atheist". It's a word with a somewhat surprising history, and one that is VERY charged in a modern context. We'll discuss how this word is used by people who describe themselves as atheists, and how non-atheists deploy it. It's gonna get messy!

This episode contains: All three mighty hosts are here this week. Ben discusses an episode of Dear Hank and John podcast where it is theorized that sickness might eventually be a thing of the past. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dear-hank-john We discuss the statistics of life expectancy. Devon tells us that most humans who have ever been born did not live to be adults. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Mb0cbDenA&t=636s Steven is finally over Covid and has finished Delicious in Dungeon. Ben recommends the show Sunny on Apple TV + https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18070898/   Future or Now? It's longer Than You Think: Ben is speedrunning Lushfoil Photo Sim. This is a tranquil photography experience. Ben found some really cool stuff in the game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1749860/Lushfoil_Photography_Sim/ Soilent AI is AI!: Researchers from Rice University have identified a significant risk in generative AI when models are trained on synthetic data over multiple generations, leading to a condition called "Model Autophagy Disorder" (MAD). Similar to a feedback loop, this disorder causes AI models to produce increasingly poor-quality outputs, losing diversity and reliability. The phenomenon is compared to mad cow disease, where a self-consuming process degrades the system. The study emphasizes the critical need for fresh, real data to sustain AI integrity and prevent the potential deterioration of internet-based systems. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/07/240730134759.htm Alien: Romulus Devon gives his review of Alien: Romulus. Is it too “key jangly?” Devon notes that Prometheus was made even worse by having the character be scientists, which made their stupidity that much more unforgivable. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18412256/   Book Club We discuss The Egg by Andy Weir. The Egg is a short story written by Andy Weir, his most popular, and follows a nameless 48-year-old man who discovers the "meaning of life" after he dies. The story is about "you" (in the second person), and God, who is "me" (in the first person). God says that you have been reincarnated many times before, and that you are soon to be reincarnated once more, leading to quite a few existential questions. This story did not feel any real revelation from this story. Ben doesn't like reincarnation. https://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17563539-the-egg?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=rFr9UzthWP&rank=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fcK_fRYaI We discuss who everyone is the main character in their own story, which reminds Devon of the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. https://www.thedictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/ Ben tells us about ZEN FLESH, ZEN BONES. https://archive.org/details/ZenFleshZenBones Next week we are reading I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/415459.I_Have_No_Mouth_I_Must_Scream  

In the vast landscape of human knowledge, few artifacts hold as much power, mystery, and authority as the dictionary. It is not just a tool for understanding words, but a mirror reflecting the intricate tapestry of history, culture, and revolution. Today, we delve into a story that transcends mere words on a page. Welcome to "Words, Words, Words: English-Language Dictionaries and the People Who Made Them," a journey into the heart of language itself.Imagine a world where every word is a battleground, a site of struggle not just for meaning but for dominance. Here, giants like Samuel Johnson and Noah Webster didn't just write dictionaries; they shaped the very soul of a language. From the audacious efforts of James Murray with the Oxford English Dictionary to the defiant creation of the first dictionary by a Black American capturing the vibrant pulse of 'hepster jive', these were not just scholarly pursuits. They were acts of cultural defiance and intellectual heroism.But the story doesn't end in the past. As we step into the digital age, the battle for linguistic authority has taken new forms. Websites like Dictionary.com and the crowdsourced Urban Dictionary redefine who has the power to declare what a word means or how it should be used. The rise of social movements has led to the birth of dictionaries for feminists, hackers, and more, each reflecting a facet of the world's ever-evolving ethos.Join us as we explore these stories with Bryan A. Garner and Jack Lynch, who have chronicled these epic battles and victories in their book, "Hardly Harmless Drudgery." Together, we will uncover the unsung heroes and unexpected stories behind the dictionaries that have defined, and redefined, the English language.Prepare to be challenged, enlightened, and inspired, as we turn the page on what you thought you knew about the words you use every day.Thanks for joining us today on the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview series on radio and podcast.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to Executive Producer Sam Heninger for his work and my thanks to you our wonderful audience.  Be well, be safe, and Let's Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast.Hosted by Ausha.

In this penultimate jq episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart introduces us to three new ways to process arrays and dictionaries without exploding them first. I know that sounds crazy – we've always exploded our arrays first. He teaches us how to use the `reduce` operator which lets us take an entire array or dictionary and reduce it down to one thing. The `map` function lets us process every element in an array (or or values in a dictionary) and return a new array. Finally, `map_values` lets us apply a function against all of the values in a dictionary (or an array). It was a bitter sweet ending to the primary series on `jq` for Bart, but next time he'll do the epilogue where he'll introduce us to some rarely needed but still very useful things you can do with jq. You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net. Read an unedited, auto-generated transcript with chapter marks: CCATP_2024_05_25

This week… Seamo paid up in full! He was dressed up as a Packer the whole episode. Two weeks ago he failed to pick a challenge after winning darts. Last week he shot at our Dart Board of Punishment and hit record an episode dressed as a Packer player. Good job Seam! Andy jumped on the line and previewed NFL free agency and the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. The dictionary remains unassailable to Kärel and the Urban Dictionary disappointed. Seamo's working on playing the guitar, he cleaned and re-strung his guitar. Then he discussed his preparations to be able to play through his computer. Max performed another set at the Skyline Comedy Club's open mic night. He tried a new preparation technique and he talked about why he thinks it helped. A listener emailed asking for help in an odd situation. The fellas did their best, but prolly better to seek help elsewhere ya dummies! But, before any of that nonsense, they saved the best for first, with the Beer of the Week! During the BOW the fellas rate and review a new beer. They break down the beer by its drinkability, the probability they'd drink it again, its chugability, and the can's attractability. Find out if any of the beer fridge stragglers passed the HUA test.

This week… Seamo pays the price for forgetting to set a weekly challenge. Andy, Kärel and Max created a list of 20 “punishments” for Seamo. Seamo had to shoot at the dart board, and whatever number he hit is his punishment for next week! They get Andy on the line to talk all things sports, news and entertainment. Kärel's a trifling speller and the Urban Dictionary is a trifling place. Max and Kärel ran the first annual HUA 5k! They ran a loop around Lambeau Field and ended the challenge with a few victory beers. They stuck to it, trained and conquered a 5k. The jogging challenge is officially DONE! To finish off the show Kärel had the perfect advice for a lonely listener. But, before any of that nonsense, they saved the best for first, with the Beer of the Week! During the BOW the fellas rate and review a new beer. They break down the beer by its drinkability, the probability they'd drink it again, its chugability, and the can's attractability.

Bart Busschots is back to teach us how to alter arrays and dictionaries in JSON files using jq. Bart went through his challenge solution on cleaning up the Nobel Prize database and I learned a lot from it. Maybe he'd already taught all of it to us before but I sure wouldn't have been able to put the pieces together. For the new content, we learned how to alter arrays. We mastered sorting and reversing, how to add and remove elements, how to deduplicate the values within, and how to flatten even nested arrays. From there we learned how to manipulate dictionaries by adding and removing keys. It's a very focused lesson that continues to show how powerful the jq language is. I think my favorite part though was when Bart made an existential philosophy observation when he said "Everything exists with the value of null." You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.

From there we learned how to manipulate dictionaries by adding and removing keys. It's a very focused lesson that continues to show how powerful the jq language is. I think my favorite part though was when Bart made an existential philosophy observation when he said "Everything exists with the value of null." You can find Bart's fabulous tutorial shownotes at pbs.bartificer.net.

This week… The dudes are reunited and raunchier than ever. Andy joined in and talked all things sports and entertainment. They discussed the drama surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks, Doc Rivers and JJ arm sleeve Reddick. Saltburn definitely burned. Kärel sabotaged himself battling the dictionary, and the Urban Dictionary helped fellas find a new way to keep their hands warm. Max and Kärel mapped out their HUA 5K run and set parameters for the race. They ended the show reading listeners' problems and giving them bad advice. But, before any of that nonsense, they saved the best for first, with the Beer of the Week! During the BOW the fellas rate and review a new beer. They break down the beer by its drinkability, the probability they'd drink it again, its chugability, and the can's attractability. Find out if BlackStack Brewing's Local 755 IPA passed the HUA test.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Some open-source dictionaries and dictionary learning infrastructure, published by Sam Marks on December 5, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. As more people begin work on interpretability projects which incorporate dictionary learning, it will be valuable to have high-quality dictionaries publicly available.[1] To get the ball rolling on this, my collaborator (Aaron Mueller) and I are: open-sourcing a number of sparse autoencoder dictionaries trained on Pythia-70m MLPs releasing our repository for training these dictionaries[2]. Let's discuss the dictionaries first, and then the repo. The dictionaries The dictionaries can be downloaded from here. See the sections "Downloading our open-source dictionaries" and "Using trained dictionaries" here for information about how to download and use them. If you use these dictionaries in a published paper, we ask that you mention us in the acknowledgements. We're releasing two sets of dictionaries for EleutherAI's 6-layer pythia-70m-deduped model. The dictionaries in both sets were trained on 512-dimensional MLP output activations (not the MLP hidden layer like Anthropic used), using ~800M tokens from The Pile. The first set, called 0_8192, consists of dictionaries of size 8192=16512. These were trained with an L1 penalty of 1e-3. The second set, called 1_32768, consists of dictionaries of size 32768=64512. These were trained with an l1 penalty of 3e-3. Here are some statistics. (See our repo's readme for more info on what these statistics mean.) For dictionaries in the 0_8192 set: Layer MSE Loss L1 loss L0 % Alive % Loss Recovered 0 0.056 6.132 9.951 0.998 0.984 1 0.089 6.677 44.739 0.887 0.924 2 0.108 11.44 62.156 0.587 0.867 3 0.135 23.773 175.303 0.588 0.902 4 0.148 27.084 174.07 0.806 0.927 5 0.179 47.126 235.05 0.672 0.972 For dictionaries in the 1_32768 set: Layer MSE Loss L1 loss L0 % Alive % Loss Recovered 0 0.09 4.32 2.873 0.174 0.946 1 0.13 2.798 11.256 0.159 0.768 2 0.152 6.151 16.381 0.118 0.724 3 0.211 11.571 39.863 0.226 0.765 4 0.222 13.665 29.235 0.19 0.816 5 0.265 26.4 43.846 0.13 0.931 And here are some histograms of feature frequencies. Overall, I'd guess that these dictionaries are decent, but not amazing. We trained these dictionaries because we wanted to work on a downstream application of dictionary learning, but lacked the dictionaries. These dictionaries are more than good enough to get us off the ground on our mainline project, but I expect that in not too long we'll come back to train some better dictionaries (which we'll also open source). I think the same is true for other folks: these dictionaries should be sufficient to get started on projects that require dictionaries; and when better dictionaries are available later, you can swap them in for optimal results. Some miscellaneous notes about these dictionaries (you can find more in the repo). The L1 penalty for 1_32768 seems to have been too large; only 10-20% of the neurons are alive, and the loss recovered is much worse. That said, we'll remark that after examining features from both sets of dictionaries, the dictionaries from the 1_32768 set seem to have more interpretable features than those from the 0_8192 set (though it's hard to tell). In particular, we suspect that for 0_8192, the many high-frequency features in the later layers are uninterpretable but help significantly with reconstructing activations, resulting in deceptively good-looking statistics. (See the bullet point below regarding neuron resampling and bimodality.) As we progress through the layers, the dictionaries tend to get worse along most metrics (except for % loss recovered). This may have to do with the growing scale of the activations themselves as one moves through the layers of pythia models (h/t to Arthur Conmy for raising this hypothesis). We note that our dictionary fea...

The words we use shape our every day, our environment, the people around us, and our world.  Are we using words and phrases in a way that creates the world we want to live in? Are we using language in a way that allows us to intentionally connect, include, and bring people together?  In this episode, with special guest Emily Nichols, we look at the topic of the many things we say (and phrases we take for granted), and how they can actually work to alienate and separate, rather than unite and include.  In this episode:  Emily's story in creating a TedX Talk and what inspired it  Why it might not be all it's cracked up to be to be "one of the guys"  How to consider new ways to speak that brings people together for more collaboration and connection  What to do if you're struggling to get on board with the ever-changing world of the English language  How to overcome your fear of making a mistake around saying the right thing The difference between descriptivism and prescriptivism  And more!  Quotes and Definitions:  "The creative capacity of language is greater than its entire recorded history." - Gretchen McCulloch (p.269 of Because Internet) Demonym: a noun used to denote the natives or inhabitants a particular country, state, city, etc. Resources Mentioned:  Book: Word By Word: The Secret Life of Dictionaries by Cory Stamper Book: Because Internet.

There's an abiding myth that the landmark dictionaries are the work of one man, in a dusty paper-filled garrett tirelessly working away singlehandedly. But really it took a village: behind every Big Daddy of Lexicography was usually a team of women, keeping the garrett clean, organising the piles of papers, reading through all the citations, doing research, writing definitions, editing, subediting...essentially being lexicographers, without the credit or the pay. Academic Lindsay Rose Russell, author of Women and Dictionary-Making, talks about the roles of women in lexicography: enabling male lexicographers to get the job done, but also making their own dictionaries, and challenging the very paradigms of dictionaries.

Often we will refer to looking something up in "the dictionary." That suggests that it doesn't really matter which dictionary we use, and that's just not true.

Many see DevRel practitioners as up front, in the spotlight, on stage, or at least with their name on lots of content. What if we told you there were people behind the scenes making community operations their priority? What does that look like, and who are the people making the lives of DevRel folks easier? That's the topic of today's Community Pulse episode. Show Notes Blogposts about Community Operations roles: What do Community Operations Managers do?

Hello! Happy New Year! Welcome to season 3!!! Thanks for joining us for another season of this bookish podcast that us four three friends love making so much. And even though Emily's gone and literally moved to France on us, Becky, Kayla, and Libby are excited to be back in “the studio” recording another season for you all. Today, we're chatting about what meal we would choose to eat if we could only eat one meal (for every meal) for the rest of our lives. This of course spirals into whether or not Becky is eating too much raw tuna (the answer is yes). Then we're chatting about some great books, so stick around for another fantastically chaotic season

We can all communicate with each other because we agreed to respect and understand the meaning of certain words and phrases in the dictionary. In today's masterclass, we need to talk about why the dictionary matters. Standards are the enemy of chaos, and dictionaries are the standard of language. So, removing it will get us into chaos. The dictionary allows us to have a civil society. Show notes: [10:35]#1 Dictionary is a baseline just like religious texts are the baseline for people who follow certain religions. [16:13]#2 Dictionaries are guardrails to protect against chaos. [26:11]#3 The dictionary matters because people who want to introduce chaos in the system, the first thing they do is remove or ignore baselines.
