Honestly, coding in Agent Mode feels like dealing with bad legacy code. It’s usually better to scrap everything and start fresh than try to fix that garbage.

The Kluge Fellowship in Digital Studies provides an opportunity for scholars to utilize digital methods, the Library’s large and varied digital collections and resources, curatorial expertise, and an emerging community of digital scholarship practitioners. www.loc.gov/programs/joh...

Algo favorable de tener tan pocas citaciones, es que puedo revisarlas todas :p Esta en particular es, como dicen por aquí, an ego boost :)

This is a super illustrative video on how stable diffusion models work. TBH, I didn't follow all the math, but I think I got the gist 😛 youtu.be/iv-5mZ_9CPY?...

This is an amazing deep dive into a possible use of AI as an augmented workflow tool for writing software, even without writing prompts! You can see how @maryrosecook.bsky.social is clearly leading the development process, fully understanding each output along the way. 🔗 youtu.be/WcpfyZ1yQRA?...

Potentially interesting for building models in relatively data-scarce domains (eg historical language models)

And for my Medieval archaeogaming friends: this is Scriptorium, a game in which you get to illustrate your own manuscripts, with each decorative element based on real medieval manuscript art! store.steampowered.com/app/3119540/...

Today was the farewell event for @alanyliu.bsky.social from @ucsb.bsky.social. It was an emotional gathering filled with Alan’s friends, students, and colleagues, proof of the deep impact he’s had throughout his career.

I want to say something. But I can't.

Ever wanted to restore a taken down site from a web archive, with link navigation and references intact? Our latest tooling make this simpler than ever! Announcing govarchive.us - a dynamic, web archive-powered mirror of US government sites! More details on our blog webrecorder.net/blog/2025-03...

Academics might feel embarrassed when using AI-generative tools. In contrast, the industry encourages (and sometimes even forces) designers, programmers, and other workers to utilize AI copilots for increased efficiency. Is this yet another gap between academia and the "real world"?

Averting the Digital Dark Age: How Archivists, Librarians, and Technologists Built the Web a Memory is released _today_. You can buy a copy, or, you can read it FOR FREE via Project MUSE. Please spread the news to your colleagues, your friends, your syllabus makers. muse.jhu.edu/book/123276

the launch of the Computational Humanities Research Journal is a major talking point at #CHR2024. promises to play a central role in the community, clearly moving in a very important open niche. fair winds to her and her editors! @folgertk.bsky.social @nolauren.bsky.social +Kristoffer Nielbo ⛵

I’m delighted to announce that my new book, The Coming of the Kingdom: the Muisca, Catholic Reform, and Spanish Colonialism in the New Kingdom of Granada has just come out in open access digital form (hardcover to follow shortly). It is free to download and read at the link below. 1/5

Ultimately I think AI ends up being ahistorical because it runs counter to what good history should do - make its sources visible. A core part of history is to show how arguments have been formed from historical traces and AI hides all of that from the reader. /5

Conference registration is now open: ‘Revolutionary, disruptive or just repeating itself? Tracing the history of digital history’, Paris, 23-25 October 2024. Registration is free and travel grants are available for MA and PhD students #skystorians

Too much advancement in generative AI and other large models, but at the end of the day, Digital History is still all about building and creating significant and accurate data from historical sources. Still, no machine can do that, and it's not something that will happen in the near future.

An incredible project of Digital History. www.lhlt.mpg.de/3474997/rg-a...

Four years ago, I wrote a blog post on how to write a DH conference proposal. The ADHO DH conference review guidelines have changed, so here's a new guide for this year.
