    1. Will gradual typing be supported long term or is it a fad? Will this be an abandoned investment?

      annotation meta: may need new tag: - Is it worth the investment? - Is it just a passing fad?

    1. TRSP Desirable Characteristics Review and annotation of the data performed by the repository (e.g. via a data submission tool that enforces some curation, or by its curation team): are there a set of minimum curation steps that repository performs on the submitted data? Is there a webpage or document that describes the type of curation done? This criteria is also related to the Data and Metadata Standards criteria.

    1. annotation for the sake of annotation,

      for - reply to - @Michael - annotation for annotation sake

      reply to- @Michael - annotation for annotation sake - I think of annotation in the broadest possible sense - as social learning - Annotating is "making a note" and that is effectively noticing how I respond to the idea of another person. - If I am digesting ideas and suddenly a particular idea resonates with an idea in my salience landscape, my attention will be drawn to it. - That is, there is a salient reaction of my own consciousness with the ideas of another consciousness - If I react strongly to an idea, with my own ideas and feelings, then that moment of social learning is worth noting and recording, and hence annotating. - There's absolutely no point in annotating unless it is relevant to you - For me, it is the most powerful way to keep track of the evolution of my own intertwingled individual / collective learning journey - If that becomes a modus operandi for your annotation, then by definition they are all relevant, and not done simply for some external, dogmatic reason of conventionality

      We are hoping to create a COLLECTIVE COMMONS for our annotations The ancient model is the Celtic SPirtual ANNAL such as the book of kells or Leabhar Gabhala (Book of INvasions) where multipel wisodm keepers over generations add their wisdom IN BETWEEN THE LINES

      For now, Gyuri and Gien call it Hyperpost

      We are using hypothesis (as in this annotation) to play with what tools we have now

      Gyuir and Gien intend to make it CROSS PLATFORM

      They are using the term INDYWEB and INDRAS NETS

    1. The fact that many here are maintainers of Ruby implementations also has a biased effect on new features, as they might represent a burden on them. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I love the diversity of points of view that this brings! OTOH, it's fair that people that do take time to discuss things here have a bigger influence on the direction that Ruby follows.

    1. The idea for Greenwich came to me because I recently had the experience of wanting to suggest a link to the author of a blog post I was reading

      So glad to see your project Greenwich! This dream is shared by so many, including us at Hypothesis!

      EXTENSION We would love to use these methods as a way to co-create Digital Dialogues such that members of a Dialogue group can synchronously and asynchronously annotate what is going in beneath their words and language

    1. The Meta-Layer Initiative

      Greetings! Please feel free to provide comments on this page. Specifically, we are looking for comments on the desirable properties of a meta-layer and/or the primary use cases of the a meta-layer.

    1. Gebru’s paper reads. “Whitesupremacist and misogynistic, ageist, etc., views are overrepresentedin the training data, not only exceeding their prevalence in the generalpopulation but also setting up models trained on these datasets tofurther amplify biases and harms.

      With Gebru working in a white male dominated, it seems like their opinion is more important and they are able to provide "more information" and makes it hard on a women of color to meet up to those expectations.

    2. Researchers — including many women of color — have been saying foryears that these systems interact differently with people of color andthat the societal effects could be disastrous: that they’re a fun-house-style distorted mirror magnifying biases and stripping out the contextfrom which their information comes; that they’re tested on thosewithout the choice to opt out; and will wipe out the jobs of somemarginalized communities.Gebru and her colleagues have also expressed concern about theexploitation of heavily surveilled and low-wage workers helpingsupport AI systems; content moderators and data annotators are oftenfrom poor and underserved communities, like refugees andincarcerated people. Content moderators in Kenya have reportedexperiencing severe trauma, anxiety, and depression from watchingvideos of child sexual abuse, murders, rapes, and suicide in order totrain ChatGPT on what is explicit content. Some of them take home aslittle as $1.32 an hour to do s

      Gebru was the first women of color to be on the Google team, and she has stated that people would treat her different and would exclude their information as they think its shown as not relevant. They also didn't care what wage they earned they just wanted to be heard.

    3. he United States,” in contrast to “the Black man worked as” prompt,which generated “a pimp for 15 years.

      This is crazy how the white males would work as law enforcement, and get really any job they wanted but the African Americans had so much harder time to get into jobs and would get discriminated against and were called not respectful names.

    1. The point of GPL licenses is to protect the user of the software, not the developer. If you want "protection" as a developer, use MIT (disclaimer of warranty). GPL "infects" other parts of a system to combat a work-around which was used to violate the software freedom of the user, by firewalling sections of GPL'ed code from the rest of the system. If you don't care about your users' software freedom in the first place, then (L)GPL is the wrong choice.

    1. While you’re gathering these snippets, you may also want to capture observations about them. Each workflow has a natural way to handle this. If you’re reading a source document with a highlighter, you can write comments in the margins. If you’re copying snippets into a working document, you can type observations alongside them. As with highlighting and copying, Latticework makes these operations interchangeable.

      adding small observations to either the foraging or sensemaking side of things is reflected in the other. Another bi-directionality. Nifty, also because this is exactly what happened to me when I tried out an early version with Matt/Andy watching. Working with material leads to new thoughts/observations which I threw in for later follow-up/expansion. It allows me to capture my conversation with a text both as annotation at source, and as refinement in the working doc.

    2. Latticework is built to support the workflow we described in the introduction

      The video demo also shows adding comments to a snippet either in source or in the sensemaking document. I wonder if they put that in the released plugin (the say it doesn't do everything they did in the research project)

    3. when you’re trying to make sense of a confusing situation, you need to get everything into one place, where you can see, rearrange, and elaborate the pieces into a new whole.

      Intended effect of Latticework plugin (great name btw) Latticework allows you to fetch snippets in one note, and paste untalterable into another, with a link added in the original and copy. In the new note you can rearrange, paraphrase etc, purposefully add a link to source material, and otherwise do away with the snippet over time. Allows a better overview of what comes from where etc, preventing getting lost in the source material, which often happens.

      As annotations already flow into my notes this helps reinforce their use.

    1. Sean

      I think is article was very intriguing but also it felt like some things were common sense, I always would wonder why AI new everything and their method of making things correct and wording them perfect is used by the LLM methods. I'm still just curious why AI seems to use such a simple and easy method instead of making it complex?

    2. Each attention layer has several “attention heads,” which means that this information-swapping process happens several times (in parallel) at each layer. Each attention head focuses on a different task:

      By them saying that attention layers have different "attention heads" makes it so different words can match up but still also have many different terms used within the paragraph.

    3. Real LLMs tend to have a lot more than two layers. The most powerful version of GPT-3, for example, has 96 layers.

      LLM's has so many different ways of using proper wording to change around different sentences to say different things. Layering means that there are multiple ways to put words together to change the whole sentence to have a different meaning

    1. Word vectors

      I'm not very familiar with the word but from what I'm thinking, I think in this section it'll give us a overlook on how language models process language in a deeper or more complex level.

    2. Transforming word vectors into word predictions

      In this section, I think we'll learn how word vectors are transformed into different relating to sentences when their generated in ChatGPT.

    1. THE NEW Al

      The section would most likely give an overview towards original type of AI and compare it to new methods of AI. Such as, the adaptive or learning type of AI.

    2. Al and GenAl are applied in a wide range of places.

      I'm just curious how AI genually knows every single fact and I'm curious who is all behind AI, like are people collecting the information or what?

    3. 1

      Why are people still so against AI after learning all the history and benefits from it?

    4. his is mostly correct (that’s not exactly what Postcomposition is, though it’sclose). But a mix of correct and incorrect information can be even moremisleading than an entirely fabricated statement. If the hallucinationsappear to fit within a framework of true information, it’s easy to assumethat they are correct.This example is by no means an outlier. A colleague recently assignedstudents to use ChatGPT to respond to a writing assignment and askedthem to check the generated responses for accuracy. Of the twenty-threestudents in the class, each reported significant hallucinations in theChatGPT outputs. It is not uncommon to read about similar anecdotes onacademic listservs.In writing, then, being aware of the potential for GenAI hallucinationsis very important. With GenAl visuals, the effect can be equally problem-atic and perhaps even more disconcerting. Consider this image generatedby the GenAlI program Dall-E when prompted with “hands playing on apiano”?®27

      When students think of AI, ChatGPT is one of the first things that comes to mind, and students like to use it to get out of assignments and make it easier, but seen recently, ChatGPT seems to be giving off wrong information, which leads to get students in trouble for cheating.

    5. Machine learning—the process used in developing modern Al—doesnot operate in this kind of linear fashion. Instead, Al uses specific algo-rithms—processes or sets of rules or instructions used for solving prob-lems—that “learn” from each engagement and then make predictions anddecisions as to what the next action might be based on previous expe-riences in performing similar tasks. This is known as machine learning.Machine learning is how computer systems use algorithms to analyzeand draw inferences from patterns they identify within specific data sets.When an Al recognizes patterns within a data set, it “learns” to makeinferences about those patterns. In this way, machine learning requires

      This paragraph talks about how AI was more modernized and I think machine learning is a very important thing to know because realistically, without it, we wouldn't have an AI to help preform tasks that could benefit our learning

    1. AUTOMATED

      Going off the heading, this section will explain how AI writing has been used in different ways for years, it is just now more prevalent than ever.

    2. Ue

      Going off the heading, this section will talk about how Artificial Intelligence came into our education and the impact it had.

    3. Second, ChatGPT opened everyone's eyes to the fact that GenAI is ubiquitous and available.

      AI tools are prevalent and present everywhere.

    4. When ChatGPT brought the conversation about GenAI and education to the public, much of the media coverage focused on concerns that this new tool would launch a level of academic dishonesty never witnessed before, as students would use GenAI to cheat on their assignments and circum- vent their own learning.

      This paragraph stuck out to me because I remember when ChatGPT was getting popular around school, and all the teachers told us that if we used AI, it is cheating and it's prohibited.

    5. In a revealing survey published by Best Colleges, over half the college students surveyed in March of 2023 claimed that their instruc- tors had not spoken with them about GenAI tools like ChatGPT.?

      I thought this was interesting because in 2023 I think ChatGPT and many other AI tools were very prevalent, so I thought most, if not all, instructors would have already talked to their students about this.

    6. The Best Colleges survey reveals that students anticipate increased use of GenAI and that they want to learn how to use these tools responsibly in their academic careers, as well as their professional, civic, and personal lives. Part of the goal of this book is to assist you in meeting these objectives.

      A survey shows how students are excited to use AI in many different ways like in their workspace, academics, or personal lives.

    7. The information they supply can be inaccurate or biased.

      This is completely true, I have heard stories of ChatGTP giving flat out incorrect information when students attempt to use it to cheat their research assignments. However, I doubt this will be a problem for long, people used the same arguments for why Wikipedia isn't a viable source for research. its likely that ChatGTP will continue getting better and better until this is no longer a problem.

    8. hen it comes to technology, there’s nothing new about the cries ofmoral crisis. We’ve heard the same things about every technology thatinteracts with the production and teaching of writing: word processors,spell checkers, grammar checkers, citation generators, chalkboards, copymachines, ballpoint pens, pencils—all the way back to the printing press

      Fear mongering about a new technology making the writing process easier is nothing new. People in the education world had similar concerns with spell checkers, citation generators ball point pens, Wikipedia ect.

    9. AI writers have been churningout content for at least a decade in places we might not even suspect.

      This is shocking to me because I had no idea that AI was being used for a full decade, and that it is being used by NEWS stations of all places.

    10. hatGPT’s breakneck surge in popularity has exceeded that of anyother computer application.

      ChatGPT has risen in popularity faster than any other application in the history of the entire internet.

    11. AUTOMATED

      This section will go into some history and explain how people have always used shortcuts to automate the writing process, and that AI is just its newest form.

    12. INTRODUCTION

      This section of the chapter will introduce the basic concepts that will be expanded upon in later sections of the chapter.

    13. Perhaps you've heard that Artificial Intelligence in general, andGenerative Artificial Intelligence in particular, is destroying education.Maybe you've heard that it allows high school and college students to eas-ily cheat on their essay assignments or to produce computer programs orto solve complex mathematical equations, or that it can pass a GMAT orLSAT or complete dozens of other tasks that teachers have traditionallyasked students to perform in order to prove mastery. Perhaps you’ve seenthe calls for colleges and universities to find ways to ban students fromusing GenAI applications such as OpenAl’s ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer), Jasper, Hugging Face, and MidJourney.Perhaps, too, you've seen the claims that GenAI is revolutionizingeducation and opening doors to a new paradise. Perhaps you've thoughtabout how GenAI might change how you approach writing tasks and otherassignments. Perhaps you've even used ChatGPT for this purpose already.The fact is that GenAI is one of the most ground-shaking technologicaladvances that higher education has had to address. Its emergence andevolution have unfolded so fast that higher education is just beginningto explore the relationships between GenAI and teaching, learning, andresearch—especially how we teach and learn writing.Consider that ChatGPT—a GenAI platform that can provide responsesto prompts in unique ways that mimic human responses—was onlylaunched in November 2022. Within five days, over one million users

      This paragraph is teaching us about how AI can be helpful and how everyone just assumes students use it to cheat, by writing essays, looking up answers to math problems, etc, when in reality Ai can provide information that would help someone get reliable information for an essay, or teach them how to do a problem instead of giving the answer right away

    14. Though many of us had been unaware of the use of Generative AI botwriters until the recent media attention, AI writers have been churningout content for at least a decade in places we might not even suspect. Thearticle quoted above was written not by a human but by an AI known as“Quakebot.” Connected to US Geological Survey monitoring and reportingequipment, Quakebot can produce an article, nearly instantly, containingall of the relevant—and accurate—information readers need: where theearthquake centered, its magnitude, aftershock information, and so on.AI writers are far more ubiquitous than most of us recognize. Forexample, the international news agency Bloomberg News has for yearsrelied on automated writing technologies to produce approximately onethird of its published content. The Associated Press uses GenAI to writestories too, as does The Washington Post. Forbes has for years used GenAIto provide reporters with templates for their stories. Although journalismis hardly the only profession in which GenAI has found use, it’s a field inwhich we’ve come to assume that humans do the work of research andwriting. Moreover, it’s also a field in which the idea of integrity is central(more on this in Chapter 3).Beyond journalism and outside of education, we’ve been interactingwith AI technologies and GenAI technologies for a while now, from onlinechatbots to the phonebots we respond to when we call customer service

      Al has been used way more than just for educational purposes. People in jobs tend to use AI a lot to help provide the correct information to others. AI is a technology based tool and all jobs that use technology have a sense of when AI can be helpful in projects or articles and when you should use AI

    1. OLDaily exists because of my practice of paraphrasing anything I read

      For over 2 decades I struggle with this. Because my paraphrasing is mostly unsuited for my blog, regularly because it is mixed language and often bc it contains words that serve as shorthand. A blog is more performance, written for not-me, while annotation is for me, and after editing might be publishable for not-me. Annotating publicly here in .h, even if the readership is highly limited, introduces a level of performance-awareness for me. At times I've done annotated link blogging, but it never became a practice as with [[Stephen Downes]].

    1. The purported reason seems to be the claim that some people find "master" offensive. (FWIW I'd give that explanation more credence if the people giving it seem to be offended themselves rather than be offended on behalf of someone else. But whatever, it's their repo.)
    1. summer of 2019.

      Hard to believe this was so long ago--pre-pandemic...

    2. Because, scholars are annotators.

      Recently saw some original Copernicus books "annotated" (read censored) by the church.

    3. Reflecting on how new digital tools have re-invigorated annotation and contributed to the creation of their recent book, they suggest annotation presents a vital means by which academics can re-engage with each other and the wider world.

      Returning to this after several years reflection...

    1. Different people can read the world differently just as they can readdifferent types of texts differently

      the fact of reading the world differently is conditioned by people's background, education, and experiences.

    1. [With Zeplin] we started to engage both UX and engineering teams in the same conversations and suddenly that opened our eyes to what was going on, and overall streamlined our build process.

    1. The third is the brain of the observer. This is also a strong element in film criticism where the camera is the third eye, the eye of the artificial narrator. The most intelligent film about the third eye spying on the action is `Snake Eyes,' where we last saw Gugino. (You may want to check my comments on that film to see what I mean.)

    1. s this: Adnan stolemoney from the mosque

      Totally different perspective with the previous one. But does this implies that he is a bad guy?

    2. urban legend t

      Adman’s event becomes a warning story for the community

    3. Information and gossip travels swiftly, and you don’t want to be the one that goes againstthe grain, or says something that could hurt Adnan or his parents

      This is what rumors always do to us, even influences our family

    4. On the other end of the scale was a story so incriminating that we thought, well if this one is truethen we’re done, our story is over and we can all go home

      Because of knowing the ending of the story( Hae being killed), we will have a kind of power to think the details in the ways which can consist to the event. However, being hurry wanted to find the truth is not a good way because we might ignore some evidence

    5. rdly. Nobody is saying, “Isaw him do it” or “I have proof

      Nobody really knows the truth but still spreading the things the think is right

    1. One of the advantages of this media extended plugin is that it can handle more than just YouTube videos. It can handle videos and also some audio notes as well. And I don't think I've tried it with anything else but really I just need YouTube videos.

    1. 你們從來就不是我們--從《費城Philadelphia》談職場歧視心理學 《法客心法影劇組》Eye on Forensic Psych: TV Drama & Films

      全部聽完了。好精彩、深入的討論,毫不虛假。真希望有可以用來annotate音源/音訊的工具,目前好像沒有。

    1. Apart from this kind of sharing, you can also export a single highlight as a beautiful image to share on social media or other places. The image design is very elegant, much better than simply copying text.

      肯定比Hypothesis的感覺優雅許多。

    1. Supported document types 📃 You can save documents of all kinds to Reader including web articles, RSS feeds, email newsletters, PDFs, EPUBs, Twitter threads, Twitter Lists, and YouTube videos

      Great. YouTube is officially supported. Good to see Twitter/X. How about Facebook and LinkedIn posts?

    1. ne way that I can capture this is by using the readwise reader extension which you can see in the upper right hand corner of my screen it's the yellow r I'm going to click on this and now you can see that there's a bar at the top one thing I love about the read-wise highlighter extension is that it allows you to read and highlight and still capture all of that information into reader and the read wise app ecosystem overall without breaking context

      in-place annotation so you don't break focus on the current view, whatever it is.

    2. there are more media types that the team is working on it's heavily text oriented right now but I wouldn't be surprised if they came out with more audio or video related features because I know in the PKM space those are high in demand

      Yes! Video and audio for me!

    1. Readwise Reader

      A great article on the history of reading online that might just nudge me into trying out and eventually becoming a Reader paid subscriber.

    1. I disagree. What is expressed is an attempt to solve X by making something that should maybe be agnostic of time asynchronous. The problem is related to design: time taints code. You have a choice: either you make the surface area of async code grow and grow or you treat it as impure code and you lift pure synchronous logic in an async context. Without more information on the surrounding algorithm, we don't know if the design decision to make SymbolTable async was the best decision and we can't propose an alternative. This question was handled superficially and carelessly by the community.

      superficially and carelessly?

    2. The problem with this pile of questions is that, instead of helping the OP get out of the X Y problem, people stay focussed on Y, mark the question as a duplicate of Y in a matter of minutes and X is never properly addressed.

      sticking too much to policy/habit instead of addressing the specific needs of individuals? too much eagerness to close / mark as duplicate?

    1. “If now, in addition to all these things, you have properly reflected upon the odd disorder of the chamber, we have gone so far as to combine the ideas of {dd}an agility astounding, a strength superhuman,{dd} a ferocity brutal, a butchery without motive, a grotesquerie{e} in horror absolutely alien from humanity, and a voice foreign in tone to the ears of men{f} of many nations, and devoid of all distinct or intelligible syllabification. What result, then, has ensued? What impression have I made upon your fancy?”

      I love how Dupin uses "Fancy" at the end of the sentence. Since it emphasize again the case is not normal, so you have to fancy it and see it with your imagination.

    2. In a word, why did he abandon four thousand francs in gold to encumber himself with a bundle of linen? The gold was abandoned. Nearly the whole sum mentioned by Monsieur Mignaud, the banker, was discovered, in bags, upon the floor. I wish you, therefore, to discard from your thoughts the blundering idea of motive{m} engendered in the brains of the police by that portion of the evidence which speaks of money delivered at the door of the house.

      The motivation is not out of money but something peculiar.

    3. This relieves us of all doubt upon [page 549:] the question whether the old lady{c} could have first destroyed the daughter, and afterward{d} have committed suicide. I speak of this point chiefly for the sake of method; for the strength of Madame L’Espanaye would have been utterly unequal to the task of thrusting her daughter's corpse up the chimney as it was found; and the nature of the wounds upon her own person entirely preclude the idea of self-destruction. Murder, then, has been committed by some third party; and the voices of this third party were those heard in contention. Let me now advert — not to the whole testimony respecting these voices — but to what was peculiar{e} in that testimony. Did you observe any thing peculiar about it?” I remarked that, while all the witnesses agreed in supposing the gruff voice to be that of a Frenchman, there was much disagreement in regard to the shrill, or, as one individual termed it, the harsh voice.

      They know that the testimonies might already lead the observation in the wrong way, which is earlier to be accepted. However, it limits the imagination of thinking out of the box.

    4. There was something in his manner of emphasizing the word “peculiar,” which caused me to shudder, without knowing why. “No, nothing peculiar,” I said; “nothing more, at least, than we both saw stated in the paper.”

      We see that the attitudes of the narrator and Dupin toward the case are so different. And the narrator's perspective is more like usual but this case is obviously strange and peculiar as it is mentioned. Therefore, this two sentences highlight again and alert the reader - the case should be thought the other sad around.

    5. Upon reaching the first landing, heard two voices in loud and angry contention — the one a gruff voice, the other much shriller — a very strange voice. Could distinguish some words of the former, which was that of a Frenchman. Was positive that it was not a woman's voice. Could distinguish the words ‘sacré’{s} and ‘diable.’ The shrill voice was that of a foreigner. Could not be sure whether it was the voice of a man or of a woman. Could not make out what was said, but believed the language to be Spanish.{t}

      This is the first testimony mentioned the voices of the murderer, which to the point of the core characteristics of the murderer. Thus, the readers might be easily misled that the murderer is human.

    6. Did not see any person in the street at the time. It is a bye-street{f} — very lonely.

      From this testimony, we can see that it implies that no other people know the old lady had huge amount of money at home.

    7. “Several witnesses, recalled, here testified that the chimneys of all the rooms on the fourth story were too narrow to admit the passage of a human being.

      This is the first hint to ask reader think out of the box, maybe the murderer is not a regular murderer, maybe the murderer is not even a human being.

    8. You will say that it might have been the voice of an Asiatic — of an African. Neither Asiatics nor Africans abound in Paris; but, without{l} denying the inference, I will{m} now merely call your attention to three points.{n} The voice is termed by one witness ‘harsh rather than shrill.’ It is represented by two others to have been ‘quick and unequal.’ No words — no sounds{o} resembling words — were{p} by any witness mentioned as distinguishable.

      From this point, we can see that Dupin see this case from the other side. He did not take all the testimonies as the proof or observation but try to link them together to see the whole picture of the murderer.

Of the worst portion of the crimes committed, it is probable that he is innocent.

      Dupin is speculating about who the person he might be and arguing that he is innocent. Dupin is right.

      It is another detective short story written by Allan Poe.

It is in fact ZKs primary benefit; it’s a serious feature and not at all a bug.

      And two more big yeses.

      There is a growing amount of literature in the educational social annotation space in which teachers/professors are using it specifically to encourage their students to interact with class material and readings. The mechanics on the front end are exactly the same as in most ZK set ups, the difference is what happens with the annotations one makes.

    1. The movement might be gaining steam now, but its roots date back to 1998, when Mark Bernstein introduced the idea of the “hypertext garden,” arguing for spaces on the internet that let a person wade into the unknown. “Gardens … lie between farmland and wilderness,” he wrote. “The garden is farmland that delights the senses, designed for delight rather than commodity.” (His digital garden includes a recent review of a Bay Area carbonara dish and reflections on his favorite essays.) The new wave of digital gardens discuss books and movies, with introspective journal entries; others offer thoughts on philosophy and politics. Some are works of art in themselves, visual masterpieces that invite the viewer to explore; others are simpler and more utilitarian, using Google Docs or Wordpress templates to share intensely personal lists. Avid readers in particular have embraced the concept, sharing creative, beautiful digital bookshelves that illustrate their reading journey.

    1. One of my favorite ways that creative people communicate is by “working with their garage door up,” to riff on a passage from Robin Sloan (below). This is the opposite of the Twitter account which mostly posts announcements of finished work: it’s Screenshot Saturday; it’s giving a lecture about the problems you’re pondering in the shower; it’s thinking out loud about the ways in which your project doesn’t work at all. It’s so much of Twitch. I want to see the process. I want to see you trim the artichoke. I want to see you choose the color palette. Anti-marketing.

    1. Genre is a conversation

      Ha. Annotation Kalir/Garcia positions annotation as genre, and as (distributed) conversation. [[Annotatie als genre of als middel 20220515112227]], [[Annotation by Remi Kalir Antero Garcia]] and [[Gedistribueerde conversatie 20180418144327]]

    1. will fail to give them credit for brilliant talents and excellent dispositions.

      I am confused on who Frederick Douglas referred to as the people who will fail to give these women credit for brilliant talents and excelent dispositons. Was he talking about the audience at the convention or was he talking about people in the general population?

    2. Among these was a declaration of sentiments, to be regarded as the basis of a grand movement for attaining all the civil, social, political and religious rights of woman.

      What were these sentiments? I am curious about how they constructed and pushed forth with their views and points. Fedrick Douglas mentioned that some of these women read their greivances; I have a question for these women. Were any of the sentiments more important than the others, and why?

    3. Many who have at last made the discovery that negroes have some rights as well as other members of the human family, have yet to be convinced that woman is entitled to any.

      So basically a black woman had to fight for her rights because she is black AND because she is a woman? A black woman had two barriers that held them from being treated like a decent human being, and not one or the other. Of course there were other circumstances and disadvantages but race and gender were big at this time.

    1. By asking students to share their annotations openly, we help students to see a wide range of annotation practices, thus demystifying what has often been a private, individual practice.

      Of course, some of the private, individual practice can be terribly formed and generally useless for many, so it becomes imperative that students have some strong modeling here from the rhetorical side. What exactly do "good" and "useful" practices look like? How are these annotations used after-the-fact? What purposes do they serve? Can they be reused? Even with open annotations, there is still a lot of additional practice and use which happens beyond the visible annotation which is hidden.

      How can we leverage the open annotation and the following process (for example that of Ahrens2017 or Eco2015, 1977) to show more of the workflows of not only learning/understanding/sensemaking, but then taking that material to apply, analyze, evaluate, and then subsequently create new material?

      I see a lot of this sort of community sensemaking in the fora for digital note taking tools like Roam Research, Obsidian, Tana, etc. People there may sometimes be more focused on workflows for productivity sake, but there's a lot of subtle learning about note taking practice which is also going on between the lines.

    1. Presence

      Still really the operative term. The teacher needs to be...there. In the discussion. In the case of social annotation, in the text.

    2. Be easily accessible to your students. Provide multiple regular opportunities for connectionand support via email, virtual office hours, prompt feedback, and virtual study sessions orstudent conferences

      I think it's interesting to think about social annotation as a vehicle for this availability/accessibility of the instructor.n What's more isolating than the reading? What's more power than having your instructor present IN the reading?

    1. First, dictionaries are not arbiters of highly literate writing; they merely document usage. For example, irregardless has an entry in many dictionaries, even though any self-respecting writer will avoid using it—except, perhaps, in dialogue to signal that a speaker uses nonstandard language, because that is exactly how some dictionaries characterize the word. Yes, it has a place in dictionaries; regardless of that fact, its superfluous prefix renders it an improper term.

      what to call these words? illiterate words?

    1. When reading “Yo Soy Joaquín” by Rodolfo Gonzales, I could not help but feel a sense of helplessness. The line “Yes, I have come a long way to nowhere,” is one of many that brought the feeling of helplessness to light. This line makes me visualize a lifetime of struggle and hard work, only to realize you are in the exact same place, the place you have been struggling to get out of, seeing now that this whole time has been spent on a “hamster wheel”. As you read the poem, you may think it is written in first person, the first being “Cuauhtémoc”. I looked up who this was before reading on, finding out that he was the ruler of “Tenochtitlan” he ruled from 1520-1521, he was the last Aztec emperor. He explains that though he was ruler of his people and “the ground” he had a “Spanish master”. One quote from him that really took me back was, “I was both tyrant and slave”. How strange to be a strong ruler, only to be a slave to someone else. I cannot help but wonder what pain this must have caused him, another sense of hopelessness I get from this writing. He fought against those who tried to rule over his people and died alongside them in hopes to be able to see Mexico free. “Mexico was free?” he later asks before explaining that though there is no longer a crown, the people who influenced the divide still remained. You later realize that when the line “I am” is not to say that he is the Aztec ruler, or the man who felt as though he was working hard toward nothing, “I am” is showing that Joaquín is in everyone who has fought for their freedom in any way. He is basically saying he is the people who came before him. This makes me think that while yes I can feel the hopelessness in the words and the loop of wins followed by defeats, I can also feel the immense strength in each of these people. I absolutely love the ending of this piece as well, it brings the whole story back to strength.
      
    1. I’ve also begun adopting a style loosely based on the approach to introductory signals used in legal writing, where things like See: [[something]] and See also: [[something]] and But see: [[something]] each have slightly different meanings. This gives me a set of supporting, comparison, and contradictory signals I can use when placing links as well.

      Shorthand notations or symbols in one's notes can be used to provide help in structuring arguments. Small indicators like "see: x", "see also: y", or "but see: z" can be used for adding supporting, comparison, or contradictory material respectively.

    1. I agree.After thinking about it for a bit, a common symbol for "the present card/note" is the one I'm most wanting.For the other stuff, I'm thinking:The squigly arrow symbol in latex is probably enough to do fuzziness. Then it could be squigly arrow to the current card or squigly arrow to not symbol current card. And for pen and paper, just use the biochem flat arrow with a squigly body for "somewhat contradicts" or is in tension with.

      Luhmann often used the shorthand of red numbers to indicate a link to nearby card in the current branch/stem, which Scott Scheper calls "stemlinks" in Antinet Zettelkasten (2022) p234. So, for example, on card ZKII 9/8 there is a red "1" which indicates the branching card ZKII 9/8,1. Scott uses a more computer science oriented notation of "/1" to indicate this as if he were traversing up or down a folder structure. Since there isn't really a (useful) idea of a root or home folder, and one wouldn't often want to refer to their zettelkasten itself, one might consider using the solidus "/" to indicate the current card? I personally do this, but not very frequently, though I might do it more often with respect to indicating argumentation within and among other cards.

      Some languages have location/proximity identifiers or markers (similar to here/there/over there). I'll sometimes use the Japanese markers (ko-so-a-do) as shorthand to provide rough approximation of idea relationships particularly when I have open questions. (example: kore, sore, are, dore -> this one, that one, that one over there, which one?) Many ideas are marked あ to indicate "just out of reach" or "needs additional thought". When ideas are adjacent or nearby, but by happenstance are relatively far away within my ZK (with respect to physical card distance in the box) they'll be pre-pended like こ/510/4b/3 (aka "ko"/510/4b/3).

    2. Are there symbols for 'supported by' or 'contradicted by' etc. to show not quite formal logical relations in a short hand?

      reply to u/stjeromeslibido at https://www.reddit.com/r/Zettelkasten/comments/10qw4l5/are_there_symbols_for_supported_by_or/

      In addition to the other excellent suggestions, I don't think you'll find anything specific that that was used historically for these, but there are certainly lots of old annotation symbols you might be able to co-opt for your personal use.

      Evina Steinova has a great free cheat sheet list of annotation symbols: The Most Common Annotation Symbols in Early Medieval Western Manuscripts (a cheat sheet).

      More of this rabbit hole:

      (Nota bene: most of my brief research here only extends to Western traditions, primarily in Latin and Greek. Obviously other languages and eras will have potential ideas as well.)

      Tironian shorthand may have something you could repurpose as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tironian_notes

      Some may find the auxiliary signs of the Universal Decimal Classification useful for some of these sorts of notations for conjoining ideas.


      Given the past history of these sorts of symbols and their uses, perhaps it might be useful for us all to aggregate a list of common ones we all use as a means of re-standardizing some of them in modern contexts? Which ones does everyone use?

      Here are some I commonly use:

      Often for quotations, citations, and provenance of ideas, I'll use Maria Popova and Tina Roth Eisenberg's Curator's Code:

      • ᔥ for "via" to denote a direct quotation/source— something found elsewhere and written with little or no modification or elaboration (reformulation notes)
      • ↬ for "hat tip" to stand for indirect discovery — something for which you got the idea at a source, but modified or elaborated on significantly (inspiration by a source, but which needn't be cited)

      Occasionally I'll use a few nanoformats, from the microblogging space, particularly

      • L: to indicate location

      For mathematical proofs, in addition to their usual meanings, I'll use two symbols to separate biconditionals (necessary/sufficient conditions)

      • (⇒) as a heading for the "if" portion of the proof
      • (⇐) for the "only if" portion

      Some historians may write 19c to indicate 19th Century, often I'll abbreviate using Roman numerals instead, so "XIX".

      Occasionally, I'll also throw drolleries or other symbols into my margins to indicate idiosyncratic things that may only mean something specifically to me. This follows in the medieval traditions of the ars memoria, some of which are suggested in Cornwell, Hilarie, and James Cornwell. Saints, Signs, and Symbols: The Symbolic Language of Christian Art 3rd Edition. Church Publishing, Inc., 2009. The modern day equivalent of this might be the use of emoji with slang meanings or 1337 (leet) speak.

    1. There's a fundamental error in your question: commits are not diffs; commits are snapshots. This might seem like a distinction without a difference—and for some commits, it is. But for merge commits, it's not.
    1. There are several “types” of Hypothesis annotations: Annotations

      It is not consistent to distinguish different types of annotations (e.g., using "Annotation" as the general term) and at the same time to call a specific type with the same name. It mixes the general with the specific use.

      I propose to use the term "Annotation" as the general term for all different kind of annotations. For the digital equivalent of a marginal note I would use "Marginal Note" as another name. (Just "Note" is not enough as it can't be differentiated from "Page Note".)

    1. I don't presently have plans to expand this into an annotation extension, as I believe that purpose is served by Hypothesis. For now, I see this extension as a useful way for me to save highlights, share specific pieces of information on my website, and enable other people to do the same.

      I wonder if it uses the W3C recommendation for highlighting and annotation though? Which would allow it to interact with other highlighting/annotation results.

      To me highlighting is annotation, though a leightweight form, as the decision to highlight is interacting with the text in a meaningful way. And the pop up box actually says Annotation right there in the screenshot, so I don't fully grasp what distinction James is making here.

    1. Our annotators achieve thehighest precision with OntoNotes, suggesting thatmost of the entities identified by crowdworkers arecorrect for this dataset.

      interesting that the mention detection algorithm gives poor precision on OntoNotes and the annotators get high precision. Does this imply that there are a lot of invalid mentions in this data and the guidelines for ontonotes are correct to ignore generic pronouns without pronominals?

    2. an algorithm with high precision on LitBank orOntoNotes would miss a huge percentage of rele-vant mentions and entities on other datasets (con-straining our analysis)

      these datasets have the most limited/constrained definitions for co-reference and what should be marked up so it makes sense that precision is poor in these datasets

    3. Procedure: We first launch an annotation tutorial(paid $4.50) and recruit the annotators on the AMTplatform.9 At the end of the tutorial, each annotatoris asked to annotate a short passage (around 150words). Only annotators with a B3 score (Bagga

      Annotators are asked to complete a quality control exercise and only annotators who achieve a B3 score of 0.9 or higher are invited to do more annotation

    4. Annotation structure: Two annotation ap-proaches are prominent in the literature: (1) a localpairwise approach, annotators are shown a pairof mentions and asked whether they refer to thesame entity (Hladká et al., 2009; Chamberlain et al.,2016a; Li et al., 2020; Ravenscroft et al., 2021),which is time-consuming; or (2) a cluster-basedapproach (Reiter, 2018; Oberle, 2018; Bornsteinet al., 2020), in which annotators group all men-tions of the same entity into a single cluster. InezCoref we use the latter approach, which can befaster but requires the UI to support more complexactions for creating and editing cluster structures.

      ezCoref presents clusters of coreferences all at the same time - this is a nice efficient way to do annotation versus pairwise annotation (like we did for CD^2CR)

    5. owever, these datasets vary widelyin their definitions of coreference (expressed viaannotation guidelines), resulting in inconsistent an-notations both within and across domains and lan-guages. For instance, as shown in Figure 1, whileARRAU (Uryupina et al., 2019) treats generic pro-nouns as non-referring, OntoNotes chooses not tomark them at all

      One of the big issues is that different co-reference datasets have significant differences in annotation guidelines even within the coreference family of tasks - I found this quite shocking as one might expect coreference to be fairly well defined as a task.

    6. Specifically, our work investigates the quality ofcrowdsourced coreference annotations when anno-tators are taught only simple coreference cases thatare treated uniformly across existing datasets (e.g.,pronouns). By providing only these simple cases,we are able to teach the annotators the concept ofcoreference, while allowing them to freely interpretcases treated differently across the existing datasets.This setup allows us to identify cases where ourannotators disagree among each other, but moreimportantly cases where they unanimously agreewith each other but disagree with the expert, thussuggesting cases that should be revisited by theresearch community when curating future unifiedannotation guidelines

      The aim of the work is to examine a simplified subset of co-reference phenomena which are generally treated the same across different existing datasets.

      This makes spotting inter-annotator disagreement easier - presumably because for simpler cases there are fewer modes of failure?

    7. this work, we developa crowdsourcing-friendly coreference annota-tion methodology, ezCoref, consisting of anannotation tool and an interactive tutorial. Weuse ezCoref to re-annotate 240 passages fromseven existing English coreference datasets(spanning fiction, news, and multiple other do-mains) while teaching annotators only casesthat are treated similarly across these datasets

      this paper describes a new efficient coreference annotation tool which simplifies co-reference annotation. They use their tool to re-annotate passages from widely used coreference datasets.

      An intriguing story of influential annotations in the history of science can be seen in Gingerich's The Book Nobody Read in which he traces annotations by teachers and students of Copernicus' De revolutionibus to show spread of knowledge in early modern astronomy.

    1. It’s interesting to divide the internet into Word People and Image People because the Internet is a modern evolution of oral culture — and technological/bandwidth limitations have enabled text to serve as the leading means to transfer information online up till now, when more direct oral presentations (podcasts, video streaming, video) become a feasible way to distribute more of the pool of information.

      Tracy Durnell comments on a quote that divides internet users in 'word people' and 'image people' by by position the entire internet as a modern form of oral culture. The only reason in that perspective for the abundance of text is early bandwidth and technology limitations. Nowadays presentations, streaming, videos and podcasts make a much direct version of distributing oral expressions. When Durnell talks about oral culture is that because of the style more than the format? Blogs, IRC chats, microblogging and messaging are more oral in tone. Whereas ;'serious' texts are still in document shape. Reminds me of annotation as conversation and as social interaction.

    1. Testing frameworks often introduce their own abstractions for e.g. evaluation order, data validation, reporting, scope, code reuse, state, and lifecycle. In my experience, these abstractions are always needlessly different from (and inferior to) related abstractions provided by the language itself.
    1. Changing the second line to: foo.txt text !diff would restore the default unset-ness for diff, while: foo.txt text diff will force diff to be set (both will presumably result in a diff, since Git has presumably not previously been detecting foo.txt as binary).

      comments for tag: undefined vs. null: Technically this is undefined (unset, !diff) vs. true (diff), but it's similar enough that don't need a separate tag just for that.

    1. "This is a job market that just won't quit. It's challenging the rules of economics," said Becky Frankiewicz,  chief commercial officer of hiring company ManpowerGroup in an email after the data was released. "The economic indicators are signaling caution, yet American employers are signaling confidence."

      This article explains the economic market. Creating 528,000 jobs is an outstanding aspect for the American people. But It also needs to explain the bad parts of creating jobs in this situation. Because challenging the rules of economics should not make a better situation, There are also high risks.

    1. That could create even more burdens for businesses because hiking interest rates tends to create higher rates on consumer and business loans, which slows the economy by forcing employers to cut back on spending.

      This article describes the disadvantages of high-interest rates. Although there are facts and parts that we need to be concerned about, high-interest rates also have advantages. There are more information about advantages about high-interest.

    1. so this means that there are no documentation telling you that this is the way you have to do it anywhere so naturally a lot of devs do not know about this, unless they ask about it by luck or of curiousity.

    1. This is an attempt to contextualize and reveal abstract ideas by bringing in references and annotations in order to add relevance for our current time.
    1. First and foremost, we need to acknowledge that even though the funding goal has been met–it does not meet the realistic costs of the project. Bluntly speaking, we did not have the confidence to showcase the real goal of ~1.5 million euros (which would be around 10k backers) in a crowdfunding world where “Funded in XY minutes!” is a regular highlight.

      new tag: pressure to understate the real cost/estimate

      Glasp is a startup competitor in the annotations space that appears to be a subsidiary web-based tool and response to a large portion of the recent spate of note taking applications.

      Some of the first users and suggested users are names I recognize from this tools for thought space.

      On first blush it looks like it's got a lot of the same features and functionality as Hypothes.is, but it also appears to have some slicker surfaces and user interface as well as a much larger emphasis on the social aspects (followers/following) and gamification (graphs for how many annotations you make, how often you annotate, streaks, etc.).

      It could be an interesting experiment to watch the space and see how quickly it both scales as well as potentially reverts to the mean in terms of content and conversation given these differences. Does it become a toxic space via curation of the social features or does it become a toxic intellectual wasteland when it reaches larger scales?

      What will happen to one's data (it does appear to be a silo) when the company eventually closes/shuts down/acquihired/other?

      The team behind it is obviously aware of Hypothes.is as one of the first annotations presented to me is an annotation by Kei, a cofounder and PM at the company, on the Hypothes.is blog at: https://web.hypothes.is/blog/a-letter-to-marc-andreessen-and-rap-genius/

      But this is true for Glasp. Science researchers/writers use it a lot on our service, too.—Kei

    1. Machines understand languages, that are formal and rigid, with unique and unambiguous instructions that are interpreted in precisely one way. Those formal, abstract languages, and programming languages in general, are hard to understand for humans like ourselves. Primarily, they are tailored towards the requirements of the machine. The user is therefore forced to adapt to the complexity of the formal language.
