Det ser ud til at det er denne skibs-artikel jeg skal have fat i? Godt nok fra 1675, men det ser ikke ud til at der er noget fornuftigt alternativ fra 1670 (se billede til højre). Det kan da ikke være rigtigt at der kun ligger en oversigt på nettet og ikke den oprindelige lovtekst?

I 1670 skulle Christian V have indført obligatoriske logbøger i marinen. Jeg kan ikke finde kilden/forordningen nogen steder?? Jeg har det fra denne DMI rapport (1992), som ikke angiver nogen kilde! Er der nogen der ved noget??? @kingludddk.bsky.social

Before reading. You see potential buyers of books and prints staring at window panes of the bookseller shop 'Eccentric Book Warehouse', St John Street, London, in 1803. Behind the windows were title pages of books and other bookish ads to lure them into the shop. Come in, buy stuff ... #bookhistory

While everyone nowadays is looking towards the Strait of Hormuz, I want to add that there was also a creature in the nearby Arabian Sea that might need more attention. This map is from the 1560s, and the creature looks interesting. Zoom in:

I learned within the last 10 yrs that the NYT bestseller list is based upon "select" bookstores rather than verified sales from all sources. It's how some high-profile "authors" (mostly pols who used ghost writers) have gamed the system, buying up their own books, in bulk, from those bookstores.

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.

A screenshot from here: https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-02-07-inside-herculaneum-scroll-seen-first-time-almost-2000-years

It explains that the machine learning involves only the detection of ink
