Finally reading Harry Potter in Latin. And it is weird: weird vocabulary, weird syntax. Both feels very "English". It feels a little bit like reading a medieval Latin text, where you feel the vernacular language behind it. I still have fun though.
I will try to use Roam research for a couple of weeks again. It feels actually quite okay after that time.
I opened Roam Research after a long time ... and it is like travelling in time. There are all those old notes I did and my old CSS still work! No idea what is happening now with the tool. Are there many people still using it? Hopefully yes.
23/24 of our DH Vibe Coding Advent Calendar. How well do you know the Middle Ages? Guess the location where a ‘photo’ was taken (i.e., how the AI imagined the place). (Use your computer for the best experience.)

19/24 of our DH Vibe Coding Calendar. re approaching the finish line! Today: Ever wanted to replace some characters in PageXML? Try our vibe-coded PageXML Transformer! It might even work! #atr #htr #vibecoding #dh advent-calendar.humanities.tools
"You are an expert Latin Paleographer" and by "you", I mean "you - LLM" :). Try it out! #htr #atr #dh
HTR Winter School 2025 is underway, with Czech medievalists as well ✨ @digilab-imafo.bsky.social @burnedlegate.bsky.social @martin.rocek.dev @catominor.bsky.social
The final sign of decline is when you start to design your todo app... instead of working on more important things.
Simulate CER! The most exciting simulator ever built.
Struggling with the interoperability between Transkribus and eScriptorium? Try our convertor. #atr #htr
The master is always right!
Hard challenge! Can you beat it? ;) Maybe @scholipeta.bsky.social ?
Something we are doing right now :). Every day a Vibe coded app until Christmas. :D
Day six of our DH Vibe Coding Calendar is here! 📅 Ever dreamed of becoming a composer 🎼? Now you can become a Unicode Composer! Try out our new vibe-coded tool and start creating (composite unicode characters) today.

Luckily not! I resisted and did not buy it second hand. This never ends! :D
Sounds great! So I will test copying the document. I used Leaflet as a simple companion site to my academic poster but now it would be great to have it under a simpler domain and together with future sites.
And the award for the best design and user experience in the button department of public transport comes to the trinity of buttons in Prague trams. A fun fact: if you want to get out of the tram with a baby carriage, you have to press the small black button twice.
@leaflet.pub Is there a possibility how to move an existing leaflet doc to a publication? :)
Hungarian to English
Is there some easy to use local LLM for translating PDFs/documents? Ideally for Mac? :)
To assimilate or not to assimilate – that is a late medieval palaeographical question!
I went through the terms and conditions of #transkribus to make my previous post more substantiated and clearer. #atr #htr
I agree. I will replace the current post with a better summary pointing to the terms and conditions, so it is clear and one can easily decide for themselves.
BTW: If I was aware of that, my presentation in Leeds would have been quite different.
We will definitely speak about the privacy in Trabskribus at the beginning of our Winter School of HTR.I am even considering writing an email to previous participants: not to scare them (that is not my intention, for many this does not matter) but to inform them, so they can make informed decisions.
You are welcome. For many people, this doesn't matter (which is perfectly fine). For some, it can be a crucial reason for choosing eScriptorium instead of Transkribus. I am somewhere in-between. I am mainly angry at the way how Transkribus communicates, downplays serious issues and is closed source.
I added a clarification to this. Sorry, I should have done it originally :).
(This is my experience and my post in the Transkribus user group.)
