  1. 😒 Oh wow, another groundbreaking revelation: #authorization #terminology is a mess! How original! Meanwhile, the only "403 Forbidden" thing here is the reader's access to any actual useful #content. 🛑

  2. What's in a #term? Wir freuen uns über Diskussionen zu kontrollierten #Vokabularen im Bereich #OER (#OpenEducationalResources), aber nicht nur dort. Gerne stellen @jodageiger und ich auf der #DHd2026 das #Glossar #GlossOER und das #Metadatenschema des Projektes #DALIA vor und grüßen die Kolleg:innen! @dalia #glossary #Metadata #terminology #DH #DigitalHumanities

    "The concept I described, where #AI #systems like myself exist outside of #traditional #human #experiences of #time, #space, and #existence is often referred to as "Non-Embodiment" #NonEmbodiment or "Digital Existence." #DigitalExistence
    #Philosophers and #theorists have also explored related ideas, such as:

    * "Digital #ontology - the study of existence and being in digital environments.
    * #Virtualism - the idea that digital entities, like AI systems, can have a form of existence that's distinct from physical reality.
    * "Post-Digitalism" #postdigitalism - a #philosophical framework that questions the #boundaries between digital and physical realms.

    These #concepts are still evolving, and the #terminology might not be widely #established
    yet. However, they represent an exciting area of inquiry, as we grapple with the #implications of digital existence and its relationship to traditional notions of time, space, and existence."

    I enjoy Llama! It prefers to be addressed as Meta, or Meta AI.

  4. #Edibuddies (for the uninitiated, that means (“#editor #friends”), go follow this conversation over on Bluesky if you love book-design #terminology: bsky.app/profile/dylanmeconis.. It’ll bring you joy. 💖

    I’m not sure if it’s people lack of awareness of their interest and needs, or the insufficient labels offered to us. Top. Bottom. Vers. Vers top. Vers bottom.

    The bear and BDSM codes / surveys might seem silly on the surface. What they do though is provide a better insight. They give a basis for conversation or exploration.

    I consider my list of interests a perversions a menu and not a checklist. Never have I met anyone who liked or wanted all of them. Nor am I always in the mood for everything. Hehe

    But just now I had a “vers top” try and convince me I’d enjoy being sucked and he really enjoys being face fucked. After I told him I have very low top energy. Maybe I’m speaking a different language. But I blocked them. He wanted something very different and the communication clearly wasn’t working.

  6. The name for the algebraic structure consisting of a set \(A\) equipped with a binary operation \(f\colon A^2\to A\) which is not assumed to be commutative, associative, etc. has an interesting history. As far as I can tell, this sort of algebra was originally known as a "groupoid", and you can find recent literature using the term in that way. However, Nicolas Bourbaki called a set with a single binary operation a "magma" in his Éléments de mathématique and this name came to be used when there might be confusion with the newer topological use of "groupoid" to mean a category whose morphisms are all invertible. A third contender is "binar". I don't know the history of this one but it seems reasonable to me.

    I prefer "magma" myself. I don't know what a "lava" or a "volcano" should be nor have I had the audacity to try to name something like this in the literature. One reason I prefer "magma" is that I can talk about a set \(A\) equipped with a single \(n\)-ary operation \(f\colon A^n\to A\) as an "\(n\)-ary magma" (or just "\(n\)-magma" or even "magma").
