Last night I followed back every Twitter migrant to Mastodon I could find. Nice to see you here!

I used Fedifinder to scrape the bot’s Twitter contacts - it’s possible these very useful migration services might be banned by Twitter in future, so I thought I’d better do it now and get us together sooner rather than later. #twittermigration

Babbage Patch Finds--a daily deep dive into the CBI Archives

CHRYSLER TECHNICAL COMPUTER CENTER, 1975

Automotive firms made major use of the latest computing technology and from the late 1960s forward real-time was critical. This real-time Control Data CYBER 73 was used for design, & advanced logistics as coordinating complex supply chains in real time was central to efficiency.

On Monday, I received my author’s copy of “The Dynamics of Science: Computational Frontiers in History and Philosophy of Science” from University of Pittsburgh Press. https://upittpress.org/books/9780822947370/

Proud of my chapter with Colin Allen: “LDA Topic Modeling: Contexts for the History & Philosophy of Science.” A pre-print can be found at http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/17261/

In it, we discuss common misconceptions about the interpretation of topic models, relevant for all practitioners in #nlp & #digitalhumanities.

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

The report from the #Pixelvetica project has just been released!

Find out everything about the state of video game preservation in Switzerland and get some ideas for action (most of which are probably also valid outside Switzerland).

The report and the annexes are in French, but summaries in English and German are available.

Super article sur les recherches de mon collègue @GuenatGuillaume !

Les idéologies cachées dans les jeux vidéo de construction https://wp.unil.ch/uniscope/les-ideologies-cachees-dans-les-jeux-video-de-construction/

Et ça commence par une description du #GameLabUNILEPFL qui fait envie ^^'

Well good for PLoS:

"highly prolific authorship (a rate that would equate to nearly 1 article every 3 days for one or more individuals), which calls into question whether PLOS’ authorship criteria have been met"

As we approach the darkest and coldest days of the year, I want to remind you that it is OK to need more rest.

It is 100% normal for us to turn inward in winter. This has been reality for humans since literally forever.

It just sucks when our social world — and often our livelihood — conflicts with these physiological truths.

So do what you have to do. But please don’t beat yourself up for feeling like the actual human you actually are.

If all this talk about #GPT3 #GPTChat is leading us to question why we have exams, essays and written assignments in the first place, then that’s a great thing. Universities should lead the way!
