Massive shoutout to Sarah McC Stephens and @kmpenner! With their help over 50% of the Leningrad Codex has been encoded as a digital edition.

If you've noticed a distinct dialect emerging in frontier AI models and struggled to understand what they're talking about, you're not crazy!
We turned to psycholinguistics to investigate what makes the writing style so weird, and why this might be happening
🚨New preprint! 🧵
Trying to lower the barrier to entry even more for this project by adding a /getting-started skill
Clone the repo, and call the skill. It walks you through the whole process!

For anyone interested, I have a branch open on this project for using an agent harness. It's still WIP

The main bottleneck is AI inference. Contributors with a bit of technical experience and $5 can contribute greatly by helping spread cost around.
The contributing guide + an agent means you don't even have to deal with code!

A milestone for Leningrad Codex TEI: 181 of 924 folios are complete—nearly 20% of the codex is encoded! 📜
Thank you for the great feedback and discussions so far!
Here’s an update on progress, new tools, and how you can get involved

`AGENTS.md` file should NOT describe the codebase.
It should tell the agent:
- how to respond
- business needs not defined in code
- maybe a little bit about code quality (or link to a separate coding standards doc)
An agent will figure out the codebase on it's own.
Thoughts?

My IIIF image viewer, Triiiceratops, through the alpha and release candidate phase and now has a version 1 release.
It has the smallest bundle size of any IIIF viewer I
know of while being the most fully featured viewer I know of

"The project seeks to document and present both the Hebrew Bible and accompanying Masorah in a critical manner, attending to the full range of features preserved in manuscript"
Also love the circules!

Cultural Heritage, WebMCP, and IIIF—the team at Northwestern really leads the way in AI and library science

A huge shoutout to @bdenckla whose index of L was essential to this work

This project hopes to change that, by building on previous work and using AI tools to encode the text.
A goal of this project is to make it a community based work with the purpose of alleviating the cost burden on an individual (that's me!) and ensuring that it is not tied to…
