Al momento dello spostamento RaiPlay Sport 3 dava errore 404 (a differenza che a metà pomeriggio) e non sono più riuscito a seguirlo. Mi ha salvato la diretta testuale di @spaziociclismo.bsky.social. Era in effetti il momento decisivo e sono successe un sacco di cose. @stefanorizzato.bsky.social

Il criterio del buon vicino è perseguito da sempre dai bibliotecari, non solo da Warburg. Interessante la vicinanza verticale che permette una seconda dimensione, ma le relazioni possibili sono in n dimensioni e il modo di esprimerle sugli scaffali è stato trovato da Ranganathan. #KO

Good ! My understanding of _modules_ is that they belong to a limited repertoire of repeatable parts (e.g. aminoacids, nucleotids, neurons, phonemes...), while parts of a different nature I prefer to call _organs_ in my informational ontology (gnoli.eu/ontoinfo.pdf)

20 years ago scientists demoted Pluto, and astronomer Mike Brown (@plutokiller.com) was partially to blame. Today the decision still stings. But reinstating Pluto’s planethood, Brown explains, would require adding at least one other “planet,” too: Earth’s moon.

Mike Brown is very sorry, but Pluto still isn’t a planet

On the 20th anniversary of Pluto’s infamous demotion, Mike “Pluto Killer” Brown explains why any reversal of that decision would be driven more by nostalgia than science

As the #Cyc project winds down, one of its main contributors, @benrode.bsky.social, is trying to migrate its #ontology to RDF, an ambitious project, much like Cyc. We tried to focus on the Cyc>RDF project, but there was just too much good #AIhistory to share. knowledgegraphinsights.com/ben-rode/

This agrees with my developing Informational Ontology, according to which each major informational stratum (life, mind, human culture) has emerged as a result of a new kind of memory (respectively genomes, brains, language): link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Of course it's the opposite. Anyway, what is the state of this art?...

Great start by Michele Combs and Elizabeth Bartmess on ‘Indexing in the Era of AI’ at @asindexing.bsky.social #ASI2026. LLMs and generative AI chatbots produce poor book indexes, with limitations in coverage (both under- and over-indexing), navigability and accuracy. Further links below. #IndexSky

Why are LLMs so bad at indexing?*
