"Despite these advancements, the study finds that lexicography remains relevant, especially for less-documented languages where AI falls short, but human lexicographers excel in data-sparse environments. It argues for the importance of lexicography in promoting linguistic diversity and maintaining the integrity of lesser-known languages."

"Efforts to conserve the ship and recover its precious cargo have been caught up in a complicated string of international legal disputes, with Colombia, Spain, Bolivian Indigenous groups and a US salvage company laying claim to the wreck, and the gold, silver and emeralds onboard thought to be worth as much as $17bn." theguardian.com/environment/20

OTD 1776, the Siege of Boston ends in the American Revolutionary War as British General William Howe withdraws his forces from the city.

The withdrawal was due to George Washington and Henry Knox fortifying the surrounding heights with artillery captured from Ticonderoga, making the British position untenable.

@bibliolater algorithmic mechanisms (e.g., so called AI, or simple score systems) operate in learning societies. They provide some result but it's hard to tell if they help those who apply them (Wiener wrote on that in Cybernetics, 2nd ed. chapter IX, see below).

This said, dystopia can be real - for a generation of two. Then it's normality, and the agent who first helped institutionalize it, dissolves (I'm referring to Whitehead's famous adage in Process and Reality).

When all the writers understand the subject matter in the same way and have the same message to write, you should get a cognizable graph. If you go into the Hebrew roots and graph them with the corresponding Greek of the New testament that should be interesting too.

The result: #profit grew by 41%. If #profits had grown at the same, slower rate as costs, that would have translated to a cumulative price increase of only 12.5%, and an average annual inflation rate roughly 1% lower.

Do higher #margins contribute to #inflation? Well, #profits reflect prices minus costs- since the end of 2019, prices are up 17%, outpacing both labor and non-labor costs, chart @Greg_Ip @WSJecon wsj.com/economy/corporate-prof

@bibliolater I think the answer is subjective, but sociological objectivization might be possible if individual-societal dynamics is assumed and if the questioner remains keenly aware of the tentative nature of answers, relative to the aspect.
I observe that a large groups of people allow their reality to be algorithmically determined for the worse, while other people choose to have none of that. An amelioration is possible if the public space remains independent.#ANT #scepticism #philosophy

The value add of a paper map is providing that information in a portable, digestible and familiar way that includes context and that does have value. Lots of folks buy paper maps for outdoor activities, trip planning and conceptualizing space in large areas or putting on their walls to remind them off a place they love or a place they want to explore.

Are we living through an algorithmic induced dystopia? If we are, will the future bring any amelioration?

"In this paper, we apply the methods of graph theory to reveal hidden relations within the corpus of the Hebrew Bible texts. The structure of relations between different texts was studied based upon their interpretation of the otherworld and the afterlife. We have identified 43 most relevant texts that contained concepts related to the notion of the otherworld and constructed a graph representing the relations between the considered texts."

"Alan Whicker reports from Dublin, about Dubliners' ambivalent feelings towards one of the city's most famous - and incongruous - landmarks, Nelson's Pillar. What do people think should be done about this monument to a British hero, towering over the main thoroughfare of the capital of the Republic of Ireland?" @histodon @histodons
