So, you go and ask the all mighty google to list gay themed songs. And what do you get? Songs such as Born this Way and It's Raining Men. Sure, they fit the theme but they are not real gay songs if you know what I mean. It's not a gay song if you have to interpret it in a gay way, and there's nothing particularly gay in the lyrics. 🤔

Oh, sarcasm, sarcasm. The thing that puzzles us so much. It takes some knowledge of the person to know if he is being sarcastic or not. Regardless of how sarcastic we were ourselves.

If you are interested in generating Finnish with a computer (NLG), you have probably already run into the problem of the complex morphology and syntax of Finnish. In addition to knowing how to inflect words, you have to take agreement into account. That for example, the verb agrees with the subject's number and person: minä syön, sinä syöt and so on. And there's more: case governance has to be solved too. A verb takes its direct object in a certain case, for example, you would say uneksin autosta but näen auton. Such is the problem of natural language generation. 🤷🏼♂️
You are in luck, I have resolved this issue and created a kick-ass python library called syntax maker. Just for you, my friend, free to use. Are you ready to unleash the power of NLG? 😊😊 (more…)
Whenever I have to setup a virtual machine on VirtualBox that has a web service running, I start scratching my head. 😅 Especially if I need to connect to it from the host, let alone other virtual machines. And frankly, I am so done with googling it up every time. So now, to remind my future self and to tell you how it’s done, I will walk us through it. 😃 (more…)
