I don’t get the obsession with making LLMs do math. It’s not what they’re good at or why they’re amazing. Sure, math could be a test case for symbolic logic, but most of what I see is turning 10 billion parameter LLMs into an unreliable 1987 Casio calculator watch.

One key finding from today's new @IthakaSR Faculty Survey: Very few faculty members believe there are adequate processes in place to protect against research fraud, and there is widespread support for additional efforts to ensure research integrity. sr.ithaka.org/publications/i…

FWIW This challenge doesn’t go away once you HAVE the data, either. It’s been interesting figuring out the right ways to deliver truly large amounts of data to @JSTOR users who run the gamut from relative data novices, to experts with very specific needs.
We’ll be talking explicitly about this at @PennPriceLab “Tidy Data For Humanists” in a week! Calibrating your data creation process is truly a hard problem. There’s lots of good practices for finding the right level of detail, but there’s no avoiding some amt of iteration/redos.

In 1980 the median age of history authors published by Yale University press was 40: by 2013 it was nearly 60. It's striking how *different* the age profiles are across different presses.

Someone at Pixar deleted all of Toy Story 2 and the backup hadn't worked for a month, and the only reason we saw that movie was b/c someone on maternity leave had a copy of it on her home computer.
Her name is Galyn Susman and she is now the producer for the new Lightyear movie!
