Big Data begann nicht im #SiliconValley – sondern viel früher.

🏛️ Ein neues FAU-Forschungsprojekt untersucht chinesische #Datenpraktiken über mehr als 2.000 Jahre: #Haushaltsregister, #Steuerlisten, #Bevölkerungszählungen als #Herrschaftsinstrumente.

#Daten waren nie neutral – damals nicht, heute nicht. Was die Geschichte uns über KI & Big Data lehrt:

1950 - Claude Shannon dimostra che l'approccio "brute force" agli scacchi è inutile poiché esistono ~10^120 possibili varianti di gioco.

Progettò l'intero schema per i moderni motori scacchistici: ricerca minimax, valutazione euristica e pruning delle mosse. Tutto questo prima che un computer avesse mai giocato una sola partita a scacchi.

Spanning H. G. Wells’s "The Time Machine" to Marvel’s Loki, "The Infinite Loop: Archives and Time Travel in the Popular Imagination" engages archivists and devotees of science fiction alike by exploring common tropes within the genre—and common assumptions in the archival profession—and providing context.

Hi, Fediverse friends. I would like to #GetFediHired for a #PartTime role that I can do from #Brno, #Czechia. I am especially interested in #DataAnalytics, #research, #HealthCare, and the #environment, but I am open to other roles. #FediHire

I have 12 years of experience in #InformationScience, including 8 years as a #medical #librarian, into which I incorporated the tools and principles of data analytics. My skills include #Python, #Excel, #SQL, #R, #Linux, and basic #Tableau. 1/2

I’ve been thinking lately (always a mistake) about all the cultural works to which we don't have access. Everything removed from streaming; everything locked behind DRM so that most libraries and archives won't have copies which can redundantly survive disruption. Sometimes I get real sad about the future readers and historians and others who just won't be able to find copies of the incredible things made during the current digital dark age.

As ever, I try to let this radicalize me rather than lead me into despair. I know that there are lots of horrors worth raging against, but this is one I feel well-positioned to work against. It's low-stakes enough that I won't feel self-loathing if I burn out or need to take a break. It's no secret that I like to read and organize books so this is a topic close to my heart and one which can bring me joy and allow me to share it with those around me too. There is a fair bit of tech nerd stuff to it, enough that I have an opportunity to learn & practice new things, but not so much that I’m totally out of my depth. And there are plenty of communities out there to help and share strategies.

But the big thing I see missing from my understanding and many of the conversations about shadow libraries and unauthorized archivism is the social and professional practice of librarianship rather than mechanical practice of data storage. I don't have space to go to library school, but I could definitely stand to read (and archive) introductory books on the topic, or take an online class. Friends who know: what are some of the better places to get started with an introduction to library & information science and archive science?
