When I explain that my mom's lung issues are due to RA to It surprises people every. single. time.
Bernie Sanders grilling RFK Jr for selling anti-vaccination onesies is the energy I needed today.
we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see
1. The data it was trained & evaluated on
2. The code
3. Model architecture
4. Model weights.
DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

Right? I find it weird to do most intellectual things alone now, after being part of a thoughtful, creative software development team in the UVA Library
In the new year I’m going to publish a history of the last 5 years of building @transkribus.bsky.social as an AI cooperative: shared ownership, shared resources, all profit reinvested into infrastructure. It turns out we can build a better tech world together, but that takes work & community.
Eagerly awaiting this!
