Gut Ding will Weile haben: Der erste Blogpost aus dem #DHC-Kolloquium 2025 ist online! Tilmann Diepenbruck und Tom Hunze zum Beitrag von @anwagnerdreas über LLMs und Editionen - https://dhc.hypotheses.org/3374

Mit KI durch 14 Millionen Wörter: LLMs in der digitalen Edition

Der erste Vortrag der diesjährigen Vortragsreihe zu aktuellen Forschungsprojekten in den Digital Humanities an der Universität zu Köln widmete sich dem allgegenwärtigen Thema der Large Language Models (LLMs). Im Fokus stand ihre Anwendung im Kontext digitaler Editionen am Beispiel der Schriften der Schule von Salamanca, einer frühneuzeitlichen Gruppe vorwiegend spanischer und portugiesischer Theologen und Juristen. … Mit KI durch 14 Millionen Wörter: LLMs in der digitalen Edition weiterlesen →

Accessibility Awareness 19h ago

The No Mouse Challenge is a global effort to raise awareness about accessible web design. Try using your website without a mouse. Use the keyboard instead. Is it possible to access all features and operate all buttons, sliders, and other controls?

If ever there has been a time in your life to imagine the world you really want, now is that time.

As a physics layperson I wonder if there are helpful analogies between a (high-dimensional and historically dynamic) semantic space and the curvature of physical space(-time?).

Maybe someone can help me understand the latter better?: Is its curvature like an additional dimension, with the peculiarity that it is not orthogonal but related to the other dimensions?

(I am trying to form an imagination in terms of vectors (or even a spreadsheet table if you will) rather than of 3D spatial analogies but I am not sure what "happens" there with adding curvature either.)

Over the past year, FromThePage--like many cultural heritage websites--has faced increasing pressure from scrapers harvesting data to train AI systems. These attacks reached a crescendo on Monday morning, when a Chinese bot-swarm overwhelmed our countermeasures. We are currently rearchitecting our systems to include a commercial service to fight this problem, and apologize for outages during this period.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday getting Audacity building, reproducing and diagnosing the bug, and wrapping my head around the complex logic in this part of the code so that I could implement a correct fix. To have copilot review my work, which I contributed back for free, is just so incredibly disrespectful to my time and effort.

You know back in my day, we had static analysis tooling that would give you exactly this kind of feedback, except it was correct. Now we have shit which only looks at the vibes of the source text and does no semantic analysis whatsoever, so of course it's just fucking wrong

Sent a pull request to Audacity fixing a crash bug I'd been running into frequently. The cause was an out-of-bounds memmove. Classic C++ areas.

Anyway I got a fucking copilot review on my PR which left two comments, both completely wrong, one of which suggesting I reintroduce the out of bounds memory access. I'm furious!
