Decoding De Code Meets Twits on Twitter 0

El Reg reports:

In a paper distributed through ArXiv earlier this month, researchers Sophie van der Zee, Ronald Poppe, Alice Havrileck, and Aurelien Baillon – from Erasmus University, Utrecht University, and École Normale Supérieure de Cachan – describe how they found significant linguistic differences between factually accurate and inaccurate Trump tweets, and used this finding to construct a language-based lie detection model.

The accuracy of their model was about 73 per cent, making it better than a coin-toss, but far from foolproof in its evaluation.

“But the Emails” 0

Timothy O’Brien comments on the news that Ivanka Trump used a private email server. A snippet:

It’s possible that Ivanka — who worked closely with her father on his presidential campaign and saw him turn Clinton into a piñata for using a personal server and mishandling classified information — wasn’t aware that federal records rules might someday apply to her. . . .

Then again, it’s also possible that Ivanka, like her father, assumes that rules are for other people and not the Trumps.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
