I’ve been mulling over the sequel to my current WIP “Hades & Persephone” - going to cal it “Dionysus”. And I have to say I think it’s going to be just as mad as the God it takes its name from #amwriting #greekmythology #omegaverse #writerslife #writing

"Hem estat tractats com una colònia políticament, en el sentit de no ser reconeguts amb el dret d’autodeterminació, cosa que, des del punt de vista del dret internacional, podem exigir i hem d’exigit. I som tractats econòmicament com una colònia, amb una extracció anual, una espoliació de 22.000 milions d’euros l’any. Això representa un atac continuat contra les estructures de país bàsiques (sanitat, educació, mitjans de comunicació, pagesia, habitatge, energia…).'

@icaria36 malgrat ser d'una intensitat molt menor però crec que és el mateix mecanisme. L'explotació dels recursos per obtenir beneficis la metrópoli tot invertint el mínim. A Cuba era colonialisme i Catalunya no?
A Catalunya no hi hagut ni genocidi ni esclavatge, per sort nostre. I el fet de parlar d'un procés colonial no ens treu la responsabilitat que Catalunya és un país del primer món i que part de la riquesa es deu a l'explotació del tercer món.

@FrancescGali @icaria36 per no parlar d'història i cenyir-me només al que diu Julià de Jòdar a l'entrevista: "en termes de país, no cal estar geopolíticament al Tercer Món per a patir un colonialisme interior. Saps molt bé que aquí s’ha invertit el 45% del pressupost mentre a la capital de l’estat la inversió ha estat del 200%. Per tant, si no en volem dir colonialisme intern, l’anomenarem exacció, espoliació, o robatori legal. Però el tracte és colonial."

Dick Cheney saying you can't be trusted with power is like the late great Hannibal Lector saying your diet is too high in sodium.

Please do organise more events on #OpenScience and AI. That means I have less fear of missing out when I'm ignoring your event that is right now very late to join the hype train (didn't we already decide it is not ethical next to the crap coming out of it?)...

I much rather attend an event where we discuss the actual underlying issues such as... I don't know.. capitalism and its devastating effects on knowledge production and dissemination?

(Do it now before I leave the country, thanks!)

@egonw it's definitely worth more conversation as there are so many divergent trends - it's the 'number crunching' variant that increase productivity. All the stories I hear about the 'generative' variant is how much more work it is to clean it up and correct it afterwards (for example in professional translation work).

@MobileMaggie right, and since quality of not routinely rewarded (if I look around), it means that workers will often end up doing that in their own time because they care :(

@egonw exactly...and it also leads to commodification of the service as well, making professional work even less valued!

@OpenSciTwente sort of, I think. KUOZ needs to improve in NL. I did not hear about a public discussion about this yet. About time for that to happen.

@MobileMaggie @OpenSciTwente what I got from that link is that we were not really good at judging what good research (output) is (tracking KPIs), and generative methods will make that more obvious (and I worry, worse)

@egonw @MobileMaggie Sorry for being cryptic, but I meant something different, though related (anecdotes, though a lot, is all I have): People (especially researchers?) like being able to focus. It seems administrative systems hurt focus. Where I think Egon primarily meant the usefulness of what is registered, I primarily meant the usability of the systems to do that with. And I was wondering about turning this usability into some useful number(s) to influence choices. Less cryptic?

@OpenSciTwente @egonw thanks for clarifying. KPIs could be an interesting way to go, assessing usability, productivity gains and where the 'diminishing returns to scale' tipping point is. (I think I may still be missing your meaning though - I'm thinking of the 'tool' end of it, not the 'output' end of it)

Jane of the North @JaneotN Canadian here. We don’t have prayer in schools, or the Ten Commandments, or God. We also don’t have dead kids. No Canadian child has ever died in a mass shooting in an elementary school. We have guns. What we don’t have is Republicans. American has to get rid of Republicans.

What are you using for automatic releases/changelog generation from CI?

I was looking at python-semantic-release, but it way less popular than node semantic-release, and looks a lot slower too.

Svante had to wait decades after his death to see his H-index to really take off

#bibliometrics

Histogram with citations to Svante's articles by year, and only in recent years his 19th century articles got really noticed. Particularly his "On the influence of carbonic acid in the air upon the temperature of the ground" from 1896 was never really appreciated by his contemporaries.
