Some quotes from Jefferson et al.

“He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us”

“…transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences”

“…imposing Taxes on us without our Consent”

“…cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world”

“He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.”

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.”

“He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices”

“He has endeavoured to prevent the Population of these States; for that Purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither”

free for all users, but unless you pay for premium it also berates your fashion sense.

how do we even handle tech that's this fragmented, where every layer of the stack wants to be the one to deliver it? are there historical examples where this gets resolved nicely?

Sabotage seems deliberately chosen to imply intentionality. As a convenient bonus it passes the NSFW (NSF words) filter

Preserving Public U.S. Federal Data | Library Innovation Lab

Last year we started a project to download and preserve public data. lil.law.harvard.edu/blog/2025/01... Since saving public data is in the news today — but is always needed — let’s talk about what you can do to help.

I love reading work that draws on ideas outside NLP to examine and amplify actual practitioner perspectives – so crucial as we work toward purposeful & humanistic AI.

We saw similar trends re: de-contextualization and loss of document narrative in upcoming research led by @siree.sh

New project with @profjamesevans and my @dsi-uchicago.bsky.social friends on the largest (?) examination (~11 million papers) of how computational social science emerges from -- and shapes -- Econ, Sociology, Psych, and PoliSci. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2412.08087 A thread: (1/7)

just added you!

Mosaic v0.12 is out: database-powered scalable, interactive visualization! 📈 One new addition is support for dynamic changes in the backing data. Move between smaller and larger samples to balance speed and comprehensive coverage.

+1 to illustrations (or a variation), I’d instantly follow a list for beautiful science communication

feat(starterpacks): convert to lists by joaomendoncaa · Pull Request #6105 · bluesky-social/social-app Convert Starter Packs to Lists! This tackles #5970 (also #5932, and #5940). It might seem like a minor annoyance, but the number of likes on the issue(s) shows it's a concern for a lot of peop...

Does look like some of this is in progress actually: github.com/bluesky-soci...

If they go with the "Add starter pack to list" then I guess we'll end up with a version of merging. Something like "Follow all users in list" would be nice too

Added you! Thought I had done so already. I do wish there was some functionality for merging/managing lists and starter packs as essentially the same thing

Also I think some folks from bsky.app/starter-pack... would be appropriate too!

Would love to be included in this one!

Would love to be included here!

Added you!

Would love to be included here!

I’m hoping we get #nlp this time around!

very useful feed from @siree.sh, and for now I'm enjoying seeing research from outside my usual bubble!
