" #CulturalResearch is now entering the fourth paradigm. With the #digitization of archives, #museum collections, and art historical corpora, we have access to vast, machine-readable #datasets. This opens the door to data-driven cultural research — research that uses algorithms not as replacements for interpretation, but as tools for pattern detection, correlation, and exploration at scale."

Update. Here's a great opportunity to #reuse older #data for contemporary #climate research.
"An archive of over 1,600 sets of meteorological, magnetic and tidal observations taken from 1706-1915 from across the globe has been digitised for the first time."

In the end, I'll have to take down the ads once I leave because I won't be able to protect them from scams.
Evidence? I explained why the spoofed email actually from "s64games.com" is NOT related to the ad. Reply was "I still think it's not a scam".All I can do is instruct my parents never to trust email, which severely limits their ability to participate in society. Sigh.
Rant over. -

Ok fedi! Our #library #makerspace got gifted a Kodak Reels Film Digitizer by a very kind patron. So on the one hand YAYYY because we can increase the number of formats for our #digitization service. On the other hand BOOOO because this thing and all similar models supposedly suck? What I've read is that:
a) frames can sometimes be out of focus,
b) what should be rollers do not actually roll,
c) it captures frame-by-frame and then saves the resulting mp4 in a non-original framerate,
d) the resolution/color range/contrast/other quality metrics are all bad,
e) it's slowwwwww,
f) splicing tape jams it,
g) it can't do sound,
h) there's no officially obtainable firmware updates to improve any of the above.However, I've also read that GOOD 8mm reel digitization setups jump you up into the ≥ $50,000 range. Plus we already have this thing now.
I've read that there are mods/hacks available for this device, are those recommended? Presumably some kind of like VHS-decode mod could add sound capture, but tbh that project is wayyyyyyyyyyy over my head.

Ah, yes, let's bring back the IBM Selectric Composer fonts because who wouldn't want to resurrect the typographical equivalent of a rotary phone? 😂 Apparently, some folks have so much free time that they've decided to digitize and scale fonts from 1961. 📠 All hail retro fonts, because nothing screams cutting-edge like 60-year-old typeface technology! 🤦♂️

Local newspapers tell the story of our communities, and efforts like this are making sure those stories are preserved.
Digitizing newspapers keeps history accessible and searchable for future generations.
Take a look at what’s happening here:

Needed a replacement for a prescription #medicine while traveling, but I did not have the original package. Logging into my TK app, I was able to see the exact drug that was prescribed. There are plenty of problems with slow #digitization and private care in #Germany, but in this specific case I got exactly what I needed from my #HealthCare system.

J'apprends à sa lecture par exemple qu'Anthropic avait un projet baptisé "Panama" tout à fait "années 2000s" de scan destructif de livres, à la Google du bon vieux temps du "potentiel computationnel" (Guedon) et du "capitalisme linguistique" (Kaplan).
Les classiques ne meurent jamais, mis en abîme ! !

The Oceanside Island Park Herald is now more accessible than ever, with decades of local history transformed into a searchable digital archive.
This is what preservation looks like in action.

Ah yes, the internet's favorite pastime: digitizing a 372-year-old snooze fest under the guise of "Project Gutenberg" to make sure no one in the 21st century ever reads it. 🤓📜 Bless those brave #transcribers for valiantly preserving every yawn-inducing detail while we all pretend to care. 😂

Ah, the age-old quest to digitize one's scrawl into ones and zeros 🖋️➡️💻. Because who wouldn't want to spend countless hours #coding a font from their own chicken scratch, just to make every email look like a ransom note from the 19th century? 😂 #Progress

I wrote about many of these issues for a symposium at the Nobel Foundation. I hope it helps.

I am struck by how the only bit of the film Rollerball which hasn’t yet neared reality is the cultural ubiquity of the game itself: the film’s portrayal of the destruction of traditional sources of knowledge with digitised and sanitised information, the rise of hallucinatory AI and the rising power of corporations (and their executives) over governments was at the time satirical (and faintly ridiculous) but now seems painfully prophetic. Here’s the sequence where Jonathan E starts to realise his thirst for knowledge is not going to be satisfied (reducing him back to ‘just’ a sportsman, with only power through violence left to him)…

Yes this is a a subtoot ;-)
(Norman Jewison also directed the movie of Jesus Christ Superstar, which includes the use of IDF tanks and a fighter jet)
