Students showed me this morning that UIUC has a service where they can run a Jupyter notebook on an H200 backed by 141GB VRAM. Free (for our students). My jaw dropped enough to communicate, I think, that this is not the norm.

About to keynote my first conference in Japan! Speaking about @transkribus.bsky.social and all things cooperative tech governance, and the importance of community driven tech - and community walled gardens in this AI moment.

Such a "pinch me am I dreaming" moment today. That's me, at the podium of the UN General Assembly, speaking on behalf of IFLA and the world's libraries. What an honor to contribute to the WSIS+20 Plenary and to represent!

If the timing of my activity here seems off, it’s because I’m in another time zone for the week, learning about digital humanities research in Korea.

A hard problem with literary data is navigating btwn editions of books and what the "work," or the theoretical text that unites all editions. I've been lucky to work with @thisismattmiller.com and @mellymeldubs.bsky.social, who built a tool to address this + do much more arxiv.org/abs/2512.10165

Surely someone on the #DHMakes hashtag would be interested in “lead[ing] the establishment and day-to-day management of the Community Craft Library & Archives” at the Center for Craft in Asheville, NC? www.centerforcraft.org/news/now-hir...

I've collected a set of papers and articles that discuss errors in research due to software errors, in a GitHub repo: github.com/danielskatz/.... I think this could be a useful resource for many purposes, and additional contributions are welcome.

Applications by Dec 15

Thinking a lot about Canadian metadata sovereignty led to wanting to know more about the history of national union catalog development. Just found two sweet sweet sources. I remember UTLAS and AMICUS and have the protest letters when OCLC got it all. This goes a bit deeper.

Wrote a short piece arguing that higher ed must help steer AI. TLDR: If we outsource this to tech, we outsource our whole business. But rejectionism is basically stalling. If we want to survive, schools themselves must proactively shape AI for education & research. [1/6, unpaywalled at 5/6] +
