et alia

I went on a bike ride and a few runs this week, but the August heat is really starting to dig in its heels. In an attempt to quarrel with it, I’ve been experimenting with artificially creating various airflows around my apartment by positioning fans near windows and our air conditioner, which unfortunately combats the 30-degree-plus norm only in its direct proximity, rather than across all of our home. (Our roof is old and doesn’t insulate as well as it should.)

I also renamed my main blog to ‘one long token soup’ after reading this scrumptious phrase in an interesting new paper from ICML. I apologise if this refreshes or otherwise upsets your RSS reader!
