I felt this down by Trenton. As did my daughter up at Kean near Newark. It was freaky.

It's Fred Rogers birthday & as I watched Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood as a child, I topic modeled academic literature discussing "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" in Constellate (constellate.org/dataset/7537…). Some interesting topics around music, broadcasting, violence & television, family.

Today I learned that apple is the dominant pie in Chronicling America newspaper issues that discuss both thanksgiving AND pie (see constellate.org/dataset/f8e0…)?  And there are intriguing flip flops among mince, pecan, and pumpkin. @ChronAmLOC @JSTOR #tdm #bigdata #dh #Constellate

I don’t get the obsession with making LLMs do math. It’s not what they’re good at or why they’re amazing. Sure, math could be a test case for symbolic logic, but most of what I see is turning 10 billion parameter LLMs into an unreliable 1987 Casio calculator watch.

I spent my Labor Day learning how to turn my TV into a display of our family calendar, which has tipped into insane with the addition of a 4th college student. This must be a transferable skill, right? Both the act of coordination and the tech skills?

The Text Analysis Pedagogy (TAP) Institute was a fantastic success this year! It was made possible by the Constellate platform (constellate.org/) and our fantastic education team. If you want to teach classes, just like we did at the TAP Institute, DM or drop me a note.
