It's presumably this: www.beaverapp.ai

I personally don't think libraries can (or should) realistically stay out of that space and I'd much rather see it filled by tools developed by faculty with a long open source track record than by big publishers.

I think we should just throw in random Dutch phrases instead of Latin ones.
No more snobbish "ceteris paribus".
It's now "als alle andere dingen gelijk zijn"

The one the 'student' mentions oddly explicitly, safeMyGPA

You realize this is a viral video to promote an AI study platform? Neither students nor professors talk like this (they have produced a whole slew all following the same template)

It's not a degree. It's a center that offers some related classes. I worry about some of the things SU is doing w curriculum (the 20 majors part) but having a podcast center at a journalism & media school doesn't seem off

The link should show the "Black Maria, Oakland" selected. If it doesn't for you, you can search for that.

JSTOR doesn't provide the metadata for them as images (you can download & inspect the RIS file, which just has this as GEN, i.e. generic), so not sure how much Zotero can do there.
For entering paintings consulted online following Chicago 14.133 see this entry www.zotero.org/groups/22055...

Anyone here use typst to render a .qmd?

If so, do you know any way to customize numbering of figures and tables?

E.g. Figure A1, Table A1.

Zotero bib bibliography with University of York - Modern Language Association style. Watson, J. D., and F. H. C. Crick. “Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid.” Nature, vol. 171, no. 4356, Apr. 1953, pp. 737–38, https://doi.org/10.1038/171737a0.

Yes, likely system locale. Zotero lets you override that, I don't think Zbib does.
Best workaround I can think of is to use a style that fixes the language.
There's a "University of York - Modern Language Association" style that almost works, except for UK style quotation marks

Holy Tom Friedman that's a lot of mixed metaphors in one poor paragraph...

If you've done in-person research at any of the following presidential libraries in the last 8 months, can you please follow me/contact me—soon—for a story I'm working on (can be off the record)?

Hoover
FDR
Truman
Eisenhower
JFK
LBJ
Ford
Carter

And either way, can you please share this request? 🙏

If you've ever wondered what the equivalent of the onslaught of gold in the physical oval office would look like online, whitehouse.gov got you covered.

(I think this is just incompetence, but the alt text on the images on JD and Melania is empty; it's how you mark an image as only 'decorative')

Kennt jemand Studien über die "Haltbarkeit" von digitalen Projekten der Geisteswissenschaften? Also wieviel Prozent ist nach wie vielen Jahren nicht mehr online? Ich meine, mal etwas gelesen zu haben, finde aber nur Studien über das Verschwinden von OA-Journals und allgemein #linkrot […]

2/2 this becomes particularly obvious from the cut in the podcast where Coates' most effective, powerful summary statements are followed by long musical breaks to let them really sink in.
Chances are that Coates wld get the better of Klein in a genuine debate, but it's quite clearly not what this is

Having now listened to the Klein/Coates convo, I think the 'debate' framing is wrong from the start. It's an interview in which Klein, like he often does, looks to bring out the best in his guest. That's admittedly not super hard w Coates, but it's quite obvious that Klein isn't trying to 'win' 1/2

A theory. Everyone who cares about politics on bluesky ALSO needs to make a habit out of posting about their other interests and hobbies. Making bluesky work for many communities of interest will increase the political reach of the experts here.

Cross-tab showing how people with various faiths feel about other faiths (views favorable - unfavorable percentage). Shows that Mormons have overall positive feelings about everyone, whereas everyone but Catholics has negative feelings about Mormons, with evangelical Christians at -12% (atheists at -55%)

via @conradhackett.bsky.social this 2022 survey is telling:
www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...

Here's the crosstab that shows pretty strong evangelical dislike for Mormons

Perhaps even more importantly than the lowest tier price tag, even Zotero's free version is completely usable, even for large projects. For Overleaf to tell users "your giant doc you've invested months into now doesn't work anymore until you pay" is really shitty

Oh, I know very little about fashion, but you can imagine this trend (which has been going on for 5+ years) is fascinating for a music teacher

The other thing that's funny about the shirts is that they are purely fashion. The kids (mostly) don't actually listen to the music (certainly not to ACDC & GNR...)

(Trend goes back to Gaultier & was popularized by Chloe (?) Kardashian)

At the pep rally for parents weekend, the director of band announced they were playing some tunes that parents might have danced to w their kids when they were little. The tunes: by Pitbull

S08: [00:00:32] My name is Sebastian Karcher. I'm the director of the Qualitative Data Repository, and I'm also faculty in political science at Syracuse. My role today will be in the background. So I'll turn off my camera, turn off my mic, and mainly take notes. And if anything goes awry, I'll help. And if something, if you need something, you can chat me directly, but otherwise you won't hear much from me today.

The free, offline (i.e. run entirely on your machine), #transcription tools we now have are incredible. Here's my intro to a focus group exactly as auto-transcribed. I have a slight accent that tools in the past didn't love.

Nice Chabad dis at the end there...

The executive order states that these provisions are only effective for people born 30 days or more after the date of the order; it would have only applied to children born beginning February 19, 2025 had it not been blocked.[2]

Retroactively would be near impossible, I agree, but the exec order this is about doesn't do that: (via en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executi... )

2/2 obv would require additional bureaucracy, but the basic ideas are already in place for kids born to US parents abroad.

Again, very bad, but logistically very feasible.

This is normatively bad, obviously unconstitutional, but practically I don't see how it is hard. You treat everyone who is a citizen at 1/1/2026 as a citizen, then switch to some version of ius sanguinis as used by many other countries. 1/2

Key items for #polisky:

(1) due November 12, 2025

(2) ONLY undergrad seniors, bachelor's not in grad programs, OR 1st-year grad students eligible (whether in a master's or PhD program)

(3) fund all projects but emphasis on "high-priority research areas in alignment with Admin priorities" like AI

Team not canon.
My slightly controversial GG opinion is that S6&S7 may not have been great but AYitL was unforgivable.

I feel like I occasionally need to remind people who post frequently about politics on here that the NYT focus group people probably have more individually idiosyncratic ideologies than you do, but in terms of political attention/engagement, it is very much you and not them who's the weird one.
