This makes me wonder if someone is putting the latest version of the Factbook on Gopher now. It might be a fun little project?

PS. Lagrange is a beautiful piece of software.

Yes, apart from the loss of the publication as a historical artifact, it is the loss of the continuing process that kept it up to date as a representation of the present (with whatever flaws you always have with such representations).

The suggestion that obvious propaganda is somehow better than "subtle" propaganda is itself propaganda.

It works remarkably well there too. Thanks CIA for making a website that is (was) easy to archive.

I kind of like the association since it speaks to how text collected while browsing the web can be used to generate new text, which is similar, at least metaphorically, to how human memory is reconstructive and transformative, not perfect recall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstructive_memory

Also check out https://archiveweb.page which is open source, local, and lets you export archived data as WARC (ISO 28500). You can embed archives in web pages using their Web Component https://replayweb.page.

Does anyone know what PrivateGPT is using for its local model, and where it came from?

Update:

Answering my own question it looks like it uses llamacpp in local mode? https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT/blob/main/private_gp...

In her book ‘Discriminating Data‘ (2021), Wendy Chun reveals how polarization is a goal — not an error — within big data and machine learning. These methods, she argues, encode segregation, eugenics, and identity politics through their default assumptions and conditions. Hito Steyerl and Wendy Chun will discuss how can people release themselves from the vice-like grip of discriminatory data and consider alternative algorithms, defaults, and interdisciplinary coalitions in order to desegregate networks.

If you work as a researcher you might be able to apply for Academic Research Product Track access, which gives you access to the full archive of tweets back to 2006.

Is there a good listing of these, or could we crowdsource one quiclky to make sure they are at Internet Archive?

At least today we have the investigative reporting from the Intercept. It's kind of crazy the lengths to which citizens had to go through to get the word out about COINTELPRO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens'_Commission_to_Invest...

This is a translation of an interview Sepulveda did in Spanish. The description of the technology and resources used provides an important glimpse at how public opinion is being manipulated in social media.

Check out the volume of negative comments...

If you can identify the IP ranges you can configure anon https://github.com/edsu/anon to listen for edits from them, and announce them using a particular Twitter account.

Honestly, I just put anon together in a few hours, and didn't put a great deal of thought into it. It might make sense to do what you suggest, and create a more generic webapp to deploy on Wikimedia labs, which manages the IP ranges, and Twitter accounts to post to.

How about we put a human face on pinboard users and tweet our stats (# of bookmarks, total storage, url) from our profile pages using the #pinboard5 tag? So for example something like: https://twitter.com/edsu/status/487193412631003137

There is a bit of text now that appears if geolocation isn't enabled.

Should be working ok on Firefox now.

Also, if you aren't near one of the locations you can always drop into irc://freenode.net/aaronsw which was set up for previous hackathons.

The trouble is, what is "scholarly" is a blurred line at best.

I think this is science fiction at this point.

20 years ago today, Marc Andreesen announced support for annotation in Mosaic.

Was it http://www.hacktivismo.com/about/hessla.php ?

I should've have noted that this came from the Philosophy in a Time of Software discussion list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/philosophy-in-a-time...

JSTOR settled, and so were no longer a victim. http://about.jstor.org/statement-swartz just sayin'.

Who was the victim?

Best use of 3D I've ever seen.

Yeah, the images are what are being uploaded to wikimedia commons ... it refreshes every 10 seconds or so, and you might end up with something NSFW...

ok, no worries ... I guess I can probably issue a 301 redirect to get crawlers to update their bookmark...

Thanks for all the comments! I did give wikistream a hostname, http://wikistream.inkdroid.org which is probably better to try to use than the port 3000 one, since I might end up having to change the port at some point. So if you want to update the link in the title I would appreciate it!

Thanks for the interest! I wrote up some high level notes at http://inkdroid.org/journal/2011/11/07/an-ode-to-node/ if you want to know a bit more.
