I can confirm that using claude to write rust works pretty well. RustMallet is a whisker faster than Java Mallet at training topic models, and adds some tweaks that I have avoided in Mallet for stability reasons (multiple saved states by default). github.com/mimno/RustMa...

The beta release of the Lexos text analysis library is now available at github.com/scottkleinma.... It reproduces and extends the Lexos web app as a Python library in a way that is approachable for students and Humanities researchers, and useful for developers producing their own apps.

Like many DH colleagues, I've been testing the vibe coding waters. As a case study, I ended up re-engineering Andrew Goldstone's dfr-browser for exploring topic models. github.com/scottkleinma... It has a bright new look, a lot of new features, and it's hopefully easier to use. +

*sigh* It's too soon, but on the day of his retirement from public service, I think that it's important to recognize the contributions of Brett Bobley to the work of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the field. #ThanksBrett for your leadership, your good cheer & your home-baked goods.

The evisceration of pre-modern scholarly communities continues apace. Just FYI: history only goes back about 250 years.

Grateful to have this wonderful community of folks to commiserate and strategize with, especially given how each of us is in a resource scarce environment #DayofDH2024

My #DayOfDH2024 is mostly devoted to dealing with teaching and advising tasks put on hold for the Thanksgiving holiday. But I'm going to try to squeeze in some work on Lexos, including tasks suggested by my code reviewers at DHTech (dh-tech.github.io).

Please spread the word! Terrific article about the NEH-funded Herculaneum Scrolls Project at UKentucky that is getting massive media coverage (though they rarely mention NEH). We're trying to emphasize the role and importance of humanities research funding!

There's plenty of💰for things mgmt wants for themselves, like raises & shiny projects to advance their careers. But when it comes to paying a living wage, creating safe learning/research spaces & supporting our most vulnerable, they plead poverty. Budgets 👏 are 👏 moral 👏 docs. Support our strike!

The Cal State system is set to go on strike. As far as I can tell, system admins have made no effort to lobby the State for more funding. I've already assumed that the first week of classes will be cancelled. Now I have to guess how many more weeks to remove from my syllabus.

Scott Kleinman @skleinman.bsky.social · 20/12/2023

The California Faculty Association is calling for a strike Jan 22-26 across the California State University, the largest public university system in the US. It is sad, but salaries have now fallen so far below inflation that faculty cannot carry on as usual.

4Humanities.org’s “The Humanities Matter!” infographic has been updated! 4humanities.org/2023/08/upda... When the original appeared in 2014, people hung copies outside offices & at events. Humanists need a flag! (Thanks to Madeleine Sorapure for making the v. 2 update with new stats & sources.)

Sections of "The Humanities Matter!" infographic with arguments and statistics advocating for the humanities (version 2). The full infographic is a large, vertical banner.
