My co-authors, Jana Diesner, @tedunderwood.me, @zoeleblanc.bsky.social, @gworthey.bsky.social and
@profdownie.bsky.social, and I are excited to share our paper in @bigdatasoc.bsky.social "Who decides what is read on Goodreads?" on book review sponsorship, open access at doi.org/10.1177/2053....

#ThanksBrett for always looking forward. You saw a bright future for the humanities, as key interlocutors in the most pressing socio-technical discussions of our moment, and you created opportunities for those conversations to actually happen. We all owe @brettbobley.bsky.social enormous debts

Today's the day! I invite close readers to see if they can find the places where I channeled the most rage into this project. It is supposed to make you uncomfortable. You are supposed to try to dismiss it as "praxis" vs. "theory" and then you are supposed to be convinced otherwise.

Thanks for reposting this @literaturegeek.bsky.social ❤️!!

Oh wow this was so detailed!! Thank you so much!! Also totally think this final use case you outline makes a ton of sense for my needs, so think I'm gonna try it out and see how far I get.

Ohh that's helpful to know! Sveltekit has been on my would like to learn, but didn't realize it had been designed for newsroom dataviz, which is definitely a big part of this use case. Thanks so much for sharing!!

Been meaning to try sveltekit so this might the use case! Definitely would love for it to be fully static since I have enough headaches in my life currently but could try out Vercel too. Mostly thanks for this advice @bschmidt.bsky.social !! It definitely helps!!

thanks so much for this @jamiefolsom.bsky.social !! Will definitely check it out (docs look impressive already) and reach out if I have questions.

I'm not sure I fully trust these answers and this is important so please chime in! And yes, I realize stuff is nuts now but genuinely could use the help even if it's a thumbs up for Next.JS

Also is Next.JS really this good?? Sorta surprised it was suggested for both answers 👀

ChatGPT - Dream Tech Stack Proposal Shared via ChatGPT

as well as a fair amount of data (100k messages & a bunch of pdfs/images)Finally, need to keep it password protected for the moment, what's your dream tech stack? Asked ChatGPT, said Next.JS + Supabase. Then asked if I could go static and it said Next.JS + Netlify. chatgpt.com/share/67fef3...

Dumb Q but genuinely need help: say you have a few weeks (maybe only 2) to build a website what's your dream tech stack? Ideally deploy from GitHub though could white knuckle it through AWS, custom domain, & will have complex data viz (d3 & vega) and navigation;

New A.I. Project Explores Mysteries of Delacroix, Master of Romanticism (Gift Article) Eric and Wendy Schmidt and the Sorbonne will fund a new program to digitize Delacroix’s papers and identify other artists who may have contributed to his murals and paintings.

I missed this announcement back in March.

"For Schmidt Sciences, Digital Delacroix is the first of a projected 10 to 15 grant recipients that will receive a total of $10 million to apply A.I. to research in the humanities."
