I'm writing this in English.
Not because English is my first language—it isn't. I'm writing this in English because if I wrote it in Korean, the people I'm addressing would run it through an outdated translator, misread it, and respond to something I never said. The responsibility for that […]

Highly relevant point, I agree!
These notability requirements on Wikidata are one of the reasons why we decided to use a separate Wikibase.cloud instance for our work on mapping the #DigitalHumanities.
We need to be able add people and […]
With #Wikidata increasingly used and gaining traction in academic contexts (including #GLAM ), we should engage with the larger community in earnest. I just became aware of the discussions around the reform of current notability policies […]

Paris friends! Amis parisiens ! This Thursday is the first of four public lectures I'm giving on AI and philology, broadly defined: "Philological Reasoning and Computational Models." The advertisement is in French, but the lectures are in English. I'd also love to meet while I'm here in March! 1/

I am excited to present @galaxyfreiburg in a panel of #LoveDataweek with my colleagues from the Central Data Facility and the DH Lab next week:
What counts as “research data” in the humanities? How can we get and responsibly manage that data?
Join us for an interactive talk that answers these […]
Near the end of my residency at State Library Victoria, I had a chat with Paula Bray about the stuff I've been doing for the past 30 years, and why I think it's important. It's online now if you want to listen: https://lab.slv.vic.gov.au/experiments/my-place-tim-sherratt/interview #GLAM […]

Die ULB stellt seit Anfang des Jahres sämtliche Schriften von Mann bereit und macht sie der Allgemeinheit zugänglich.1/3
I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs. While many ethically-minded people choose to boycott these models, I believe passive resistance alone cannot break the structural grip of big tech. To truly “liberate” these technologies and turn them into public […]

"No relevant skill here — I'll write the corrected files directly."
LOL... I think I just need to work on my self-confidence to become a better coder.
