That being said, my former MA student surprised me after class today to tell me she got accepted into her dream PhD programme. She's worked super hard for this and I’m just incredibly proud of her 😊

Once again bleak news of the latest funding round for a lot of friends this week. Kinda demoralizing to see so many great minds and projects in Old Norse (DH) left without support. I was rooting for you! Nothing new ofc but it's hard to stay motivated to work on my own postdoc applications

It is simply not true that LLMs are "black boxes." Not knowing everything about something doesn't make it a black box. The architecture was developed prior to their invention. They are iterated via intentional design. This is not a black box. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

If you’re in Iceland today, you have to stop by Harpa for UTmessan!
The real magic is happening upstairs with the universities—we’re talking VR, 3D scanners, and interactive sims.The tech companies downstairs could honestly take some notes! Definitely don’t miss the @mshl-cdha.bsky.social stand.

A screenshot of WhatsApp:
Ash: Sebastián, I have one very pressing question.
Sebastián Di Martino: Let me know
Ash: Are jaguar soft?
Sebastián Di Martino: They are very soft (two hearts on the answer)
Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.
