The @TrussellTrust handed out over 3 million emergency food parcels in the last year. That's nearly double the number 5 years ago. Moved by young #Rishi's plight? Time to donate to the Trussell Trust! You can now do so at the Rishi Sunak's Sky TV Fund. justgiving.com/page/rishi-sky…
@evgenymorozov "If only my scalpel and absinthe were to hand..." Pike, F.H. et al. (1929) Some observations on experimentally-induced convulsions, Am. J. Psych. 9 259–2837; (1930) The problem of localization in experimentally induced convulsions, Arch. of Neur. & Psychiatry (Chicago) 23 847–868
@evgenymorozov Truly the Summer of Lv(P, X). (Just remember, kids, that "models" need in no way be similar to their causes, the "real thing"...)
@HetanShah @Gilesyb @leonoramerry to @Gilesyb this is also being celebrated where the skies are blue! If you'd like an invitation code I have one
And now it's happened. Even arxiv's pdf pages have succumbed to some unrecognisible nondescript favicon. The new one's apparently 'legally defensible'. Absent a revolution, maybe I need to stop using multiple tabs as if bookmarks. Or use Zotero more. Grumpy though.
...the result of editing the original icon in an image editor which lost the transparency. At this point the icon is so critical for recognizing tabs if you're a physicist that there will be a revolution if it ever gets changed 😂 [2/2]
@14JUN1995 Agree: there's no specific notion of volition in "I always say more than I know". So, e.g. Popper believes that, & indeed is a general skeptic about meaning: we don't know the implications of our theories. But there's no suspicion of our motivation (or motivated ignorance)
@14JUN1995 Um, Aristotle's Poetics (essentially on drama), Lukacz on totality of the novel, Cleanth Brooks The Well-Wrought Urn on organic unity (essentially on poems), copyright law (not often taken as lit theory though)?
As we buckle up for 2024, people need to understand the new information environment. Countercloud is an experiment in AI-generated disinformation. Turns out it's cheap and relatively easy to produce a fully automated disinfo system. youtube.com/watch?v=cwGdkr…
@davecormier Here's a suggestion: set your students the task of telling the history of the term 'prompt engineering'. Who first introduced the term, and its constituent elements? Why did they do so? Why was it them that did so? What explains its popularity?
@enzoreds Got it. Philosophers' perjorative use of journalist (as in, "That Arendt, she was only ever a journalist!")
@enzoreds @apsrjournal @UgurAytac01 Nice! (though ROFL at the boiler-plate "ETHICAL STANDARDS: The authors affirm this research did not involve human subjects.")
@ChelseaWooff @evgenymorozov there's a passing Rolls Royce joke later which made me laugh out loud and then feel tears pricking my eyes
@jon_agar @Berrrrris @SarahVMarks @Trichocolea @NickStutley @MarleyLtd ha, np. The early history of telex is only one of the many threads left to pull on after binge-listening to @evgenymorozov's The Santiago Boys.
@Berrrrris @jon_agar @SarahVMarks @Trichocolea @NickStutley @MarleyLtd Apparently "for the transmission of data from a number of branches to our head office". To cut costs, they used it instead of the post only week a month. See D. E. Cooper's response to a 1960 Maurice Wilkes talk 'Data transmission and the new outlook for the computer field'.
#STS and #histsci colleagues, anyone recommend good scholarship on #RobertKMerton's work in the late 1960s/70s? He's just cropped up in my archives in Prague in 1969 collaborating on a #humanecology project. I know the Crothers book but must be more? @DrBrianBalmer @jon_agar
Whoa - a shock as I start to listen to #TheSantiagoBoys Episode 9: the first advert I'd heard spliced in, for some crypto outfit. Outraged resentment turns to bitter-sweet gratitude for this uncanny moment. It's like deformed ostranenie, a heightened awareness of the medium.
"We should be talking about children and the most vulnerable, instead ULEZ has turned into a political football," Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah tells the Today Programme. @EllaRobertaFdn @BBCr4today #ULEZ
also two trivial mis-spellings of 'daughter' as 'daugther' at the-santiago-boys.com/episodes
Minor website suggestion: for those listening with a screen, and visually enjoying the notes as they listen, it would be great if those notes could be scrolled so that you kept sight of the elapsed time of the podcast to coordinate against the time-peg of each note.
This is simply enthralling.
After two years of work, The Santiago Boys is finally live - you can listen to all the episodes on the main podcasting platforms. For an even deeper experience, do it on its website: the-santiago-boys.com/episodes
