to further be fair, if you were this person’s colleagues, wouldn’t you use any rhetorical strategy available to get them to shut up for a second so you can approve the minutes and get some work done?

the best reason for sidenotes replacing endnotes is that manchu language citations are finally closer. now, can you type manchu easily, even in 2026? no. but! if you could!

Book cover shows an alleyway in a Rio favela, the black and white photo has been given a bluish tinge; my name is upper left, the title of the book "Poverty of the Imagination" is at lower left and at right, in reddish text is the subtitle "The Cold War and the Social Science of Development in Latin America"
Your humble servant has a written a book about the social science of poverty in Cold War Latin America and the contexts that shaped its creation, from international sources like the Ford Foundation to dictatorships across the region. The book is in production and will be ready at the end of 2026
Very excited that my paper with @katakeith.bsky.social is now out in @polanalysis.bsky.social. We investigate whether LLMs actually follow the instructions/definitions provided in codebooks, propose some diagnostics, and release a new evaluation dataset.

hell yeah dude
I’m seeing close to zero reaction/conversation about this on here. This is huge news for open research on language models, especially in the US.
tom where can I go to read about what happened at ANU? trying to track what is going on in global anglophone academia for … Y’know Reasons™
hell yeah
me, sowing: bluebook exam will be great for this

Cover of 2026 Modern Chinese History Studies, issue 2
Table of Contents from Modern Chinese History Studies
Abstract from Modern Chinese History Studies
Pleased to share that our article on the age dynamics of late Qing officials based on the CGED-Q JSL and linked examination records like 同年齒綠 is out now in 近代史研究! I feel like we have finally hit the big leagues. mp.weixin.qq.com/s/pKT33blHGm... 1/3
By coincidence, another paper with Yue Yu (lead author), Yueran Hou, and Yibei Wu introducing a machine-learning based method for record linkage in historical Chinese datasets also just appeared online, so today is a publication twofer. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
this is more of a "something i'm also thinking about (loosely related)" rather than a reply, actually. apologies
Yeah! I think the trick especially with students, is that LLMs as meta-tools are obscuring some of these other approaches in the discovery stage. I wonder if Claude would suggest regex / KWIC or a complex embedding approach for a moderately complex query about usage in a corpus, for example.
I was never fluent in regex (lookahead/behind always confused me) but got much better/flexible once I could get help from even early LLMs, although I always set up test strings for them. Much faster, although whether the skill substitution is a net loss for me is an open question.
“ simply move to (checks notes) Palo Alto “
is definitely advice that a person could give
because I have looked this up like 7 times now:
if you were reading about 辽宁省人才学研究会's publication:
<新人才> became <人才与管理>, which became (in 1989?) <干部人事月报> , which became (later) <人力资源>.
I did an MA (Asian Studies: China); would not have gotten a serious look in PhD programs with my emphasis otherwise, I think (evidence: many rejections before the MA). I was funded through a FLAS, which made it possible financially.
