Snowboarder Kokomo Murase upside down in mid-air against a black sky, Text reads: Kokomo Murase of Japan Wins Gold in Astonishing Big Air Final
From @theathletic.com: “I want to execute my tricks perfectly, win the gold medal and return to Japan,” Kokomo Murase said upon arriving in Italy for the Winter Olympics.
As plainly as she said it, she did it, in an astonishingly technical big air final. nyti.ms/4bLLU0U

We thank Fobazi's community for their support over the last several months of her illness. A private burial will be held for family. We will be in touch with further information about a future Celebration of Life event, as well as ways to support Fobazi's family and legacy.

Today's early Spring semester reminder that if your academic library doesn't have an eBook you want and/or tells you they can't provide it, it is most likely not the library staff's fault.
We can't buy what vendors refuse to sell.
[Last blog post of 2025] "AI-powered search" hides at least 4 different things—post-retrieval features, semantic search, LLM ranking, and synthesis. Your concerns about one may not apply to another. New post unpacking what's actually under the hood. aarontay.substack.com/p/what-do-we...

Nice way to finish the year with such a quote in @science.org news: "Stefanie Haustein, an information scientist at the University of Ottawa, doesn’t buy publishers’ arguments."
Thank you @phiejacobs.bsky.social!

"[...] when the start-up’s search engine retrieves information from a website or database and uses that information to generate a piece of text and to respond to queries from internet users." - interesting

Wilder Post.
Hä? Das wird doch einfach in Inlibra überführt, wie kamen sie denn zu dem Schluss...
06.11.2025 07:50 — 👍 1 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0Bücher sind Gebrauchsgegenstände. Da würde ich mir wenig Sorgen machen. Nur sollte kein Kaffee mehr vom Einband tropfen, das geht dann über das übliche Maß hinaus... und nachweisbares Bekritzeln ist natürlich auch was anderes. Aber wie oft kann man das schon wasserdicht nachweisen.

“To Go Far, Go Together: Advancing Scholarly Communication Across Boundaries and Disruptions” - 3rd to 5th of June 2026 in Singapore. CfP is open until 9th of November. Submission topics look very promising.
Im Bereich Patente sollte das mit dem Geld kein Problem sein. Muss man halt gucken wie man einsteigt, aber als ich studiert hab war das definitiv noch ein Ding.

Did you see this?
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.

A screenshot of Ai Asta. Clicking on the tag "LLM memory" opens up a notification that the tool couldn't find any relevant reference with evidence supporting this statemement. The LLM used is also referenced.

A screenshot of an answer generated by Ai2 Asta "summarize literature" mode. It shows a paragraph of LLM-generated text with tag markers that indicate a fact has been pulled from LLM memory.
Ai2 Asta is, to my knowledge, the only AI search tool out there that currently displays a tag to say that a fact has been pulled from LLM memory. A feature I'd like to see in more tools, as there is valuable feedback to the user in there, i. e. that the query should be re-formulated or reconsidered

30.09.2025 12:23 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0In the AI search era there seems to be such a thing as an index being too curated: see WoS expansion through Research Commons. I have a feeling this might be in response to startup tools using OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar & co. having better search outcomes.
