For the morning crowd - thread below about our new article on historical bias in digitized British newspaper collections #dh #skystorians @rs4vp.org @vpreditors.bsky.social @thenacbs.bsky.social

Biographies linked with publications show that mothers reach peak scholarly productivity later in life, declining until children reach school age, while fathers experience no change. The time costs of raising the baby boom generation led to a loss of female scientists thru failure to achieve tenure.

My university has been pushing for AI education ever since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022. What I wish we had done instead, rather than endless surveys about chatbot usage patterns, is making digital literacy (how to manage files, use the command line, and configure one's own computer)

As Lee Jae-myung nears 100 days in office, here's how he stacks up against previous presidents. 63% approval. Yoon at a similar period was at just 28%. Only region where is underwater is Daegu (36%) , and he is above water in every age cohort.

How to not do computational humanities: (1) Lay out a question/hypothesis about a complex, cultural domain. (2) Compute numbers that were inspired by (1) but without sufficiently formalizing (1) so as to meaningfully link to it. (3) Interpret numbers to mean whatever your prior vibes were.
