Great. I only started using this week. For something very simple: merge PDFs of single issues of newspapers into one-week "chunks". Thousands. It did it smoothly in the background while I was doing something else.

Thanks to Fiona Lane for this generous review of “Rent Strikes: A History of Tenant Actions across the World” (co-edited with @hannesrolf.bsky.social and edited by @uclpress.bsky.social).

The book can be downloaded open access here: uclpress.co.uk/book/rent-st... (more than 2.1k downloads already🤯)

Zo kan het niet langer. Het is niet onze taak als docenten om studenten te vervolgen of te discussiëren over procedures bij de Raad van State (!)

We moeten erkennen dat het thuis schrijven van essays niet meer voldoet als bewijs van vaardigheid

-10° C real feel here in Amsterdam and treacherously slippery, but managed to make the weekly 10 km in a beautifully snowy Vondelpark

I'll ask the dishwasher to cook an egg and write a piece to celebrate its incapacity

I'm afraid it's still not open but I'll ask around

Indeed. We should write an article about it!

The fake communist party scam that fooled Mao Zedong Dutch maths teacher admits fake communist party scam that fooled Mao Zedong.

This is an extraordinary book. Don't miss it.

Indeed. Unfortunately many native English speakers in American universities in the US are quite oblivious about this.

Starting the winter break reading season.

This is fast turning into one of my favorite historical journals to peruse.

I forgot to tag you! Your book has become standard literature in my research seminars

Not the nicest thing the amount of agression I received after this repost. As if I was against the craft of the historian, and the importance of paleography, or in favour of big tech plutocrats. I assume you meant to be ironic, but I see that nuance is a bit lost regarding this topic.

I think this post nails the actual problem, for researchers at least—AI hallucinations would simply not be a problem in academic work if we’d not normalized citation-as-signaling rather than actual engagement—you can only cite a fake paper if you’re not in the habit of reading the papers you cite

Ojalá Putnam saque una secuela (?) discutiendo la IA
