Long Live Moonjoywelp, I got laid off.
if anyone you know is looking for a slightly-used computational linguist -- remote or in #Syracuse, NY -- get in touch. I'm also open to "data science" positions if they're "languagey" #GetFediHired #NLProc #NLP
thinking about writing "I'm good as fuck at computer. Even my own mother said I was born with a port in my ass" in my cover letter because then at least someone will read it.

🏴☠️@thedansimonson Boosted. Add hashtag #GetFediHired for more eyeballs.
@janerationx oh ty, I'd forgotten about that
@thedansimonson Side note: You're in Syracuse? I'm from Broome/Tioga county, down the 81, originally. Still miss it.
@janerationx yep! didn't grow up here, but my better half is a professor as SU. it's nice... six months of the year. the other six, I kind of have a man-vs-nature sort of attitude towards it, which helps
@thedansimonson 😂 I hear you. The weather is a beast there.
Dr. Angus Andrea Grieve-Smith@thedansimonson I also found out today that I'm being laid off. Looking for application developer positions!
Laurel Stvan@grvsmth @thedansimonson Damnit. Sorry to hear this. These are scary times.
John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺Sorry to hear that you both were recently laid off.
Check out jobs on hiring.cafe . That's where I found the job I recently started.
@johnlogic @grvsmth ty, I'll check that out!
curtosis@thedansimonson Ugh, that sucks.
I just filled my last req, but one of my sister ontology teams is hiring. Unfortunately would be hybrid, 1d/wk on average on NYC. But if that’s even worth considering I can connect you with a referral.
@curtosis thanks. 1d/wk in the city is a bit of a trek there from here, but maybe worth discussing. do you have a job listing?
@thedansimonson FWIW one of my team is in Albany.
There are about 30 of us (dozens!) across the company, about 1/3 computational linguists, 1/3 philosophy/logic, 1/3 library science. Many alums of Doug Lenat’s Cycorp.
Try this one: https://www.capitalonecareers.com/job/mclean/manager-ontology-and-data-modeling/1732/93766062448
I can give more info out-of-band if it’s interesting, (and lmk if you want to apply so I can put my endorsement on it; very difficult for compliance reasons to do that after you’re in the pipeline).
Noodlemaz@thedansimonson might add 'well-used but still with some life' to next CV
@noodlemaz yea maybe “broken in and extremely comfortable” might be the way to phrase it
withinity@thedansimonson Really sorry this happened to you. I got laid off last month. I think I saw some job for neurosymbolic computing on indeed recently? Not sure it thats what you do sorry its not a real lead but its all I got
