Can we take a moment to admire the extraordinary attention to detail in the costuming for #WolfHall from the incredible designer Joanna Eatwell? A flawless interpretation of Jane Seymour’s bonnet and gown from the Whitehall Mural 🙌

it's wild that R, the ubiquitous statistical computing language, was co-created by a Māori prof (Ross Ihaka) — and yet the vast majority of scientists who use R don't know this is like inventing the toaster. possibly the largest impact of a single member of an indigenous community on modern science

How transparent are foundation models that claim to be "open"? A group centered at Stanford and led by Rishi Bommasani has released a paper proposing a transparency index. crfm.stanford.edu/fmti/fmti.pdf 🧪 #MLSky

A chart indicating the relative transparency of different models. Llama 2 tops the list at 54%, GPT-4 is at 48%, Claude 2 at 36%.

Just returned to my dissertation for the first time since my defense/viva in January 2022, as I'm preparing one chapter for potential publication, and it is both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time. Monstrous feelings!

A 21 year old undergrad played a key role in this major breakthrough for the Herculaneum Scrolls project (one of the coolest DH projects NEH has funded). Luke Farritor, from U Nebraska-Lincoln, was the first person to uncover a full word from a 2000 year old scroll. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hello! Happy to be on Bluesky finally! I'll try to be more active here than I have been on Mastodon, which I struggled to wrap my head around. I'll probably keep posting about #DigitalHumanities, #theatre, and #DragPerformers, but you'll also see things related to my current job in #DigitalTwins!
