Es increíble cómo observar atentamente unas formas abstractas de tinta en una hoja de papel puede hacer que se me acelere el pulso. La literatura es maravillosa

If you’ve seen this article, you may be sitting with anger, pain, or just exhaustion at dealing with another helping of colonial nonsense.

We feel a responsibility to speak back when these colonizing narratives show up, yet again, in such a prominent venue. endangeredlanguages.com/story/respon...

People should be able to tell the difference between "Good Books" and "Fun Reads". There are many books that are objectively NOT Good Books, but they're Fun Reads, and there are many books that are NOT Fun Reads, but are very Good Books

They're not mutually exclusive, but they're different criteria

Por favor, no es obligatorio que haya romance en todos los libros, lo prefiero a que se enamoren en dos páginas.

In a moving message this weekend, Pope Leo XIV spoke out against the rising tide of AI and urged his followers to recommit to a radical humanism. The message—delivered in the form of an encyclical …

a four panel comic PANEL 1: a calendar hangs on a wall. its photo is of a baguette. several days are crossed out in red - a few days after a blank period, a day is circled. a pigeon looks happily to the calendar and says "yay! that thing i've been looking forward to for ages is this weekend!" PANEL 2: a little angel pigeon cheerfully says "alright! it's gonna be so fun!". the pigeon looks blank and sys "yeah..." PANEL 3: the pigeon looks sad and says "but then it's gonna be over...". confused, the angel pigeon says "what? well...yeah...but it hasn't even happened yet..." PANEL 4: the pigeon sits on the floor, wobbly-eyed, and sadly says "yeah...but it's gonna end...". the angel pigeon furiously holds their wings out, neck extended, replying "what are you talking about?? that's how time works!!!"

Each AI chatbot has its own distinctive writing style—just like humans have idiolects

What I think is neat about this is that it can potentially help us identify more accurately whether something was written with AI.

Lo he dicho muchas veces, pero lo repito:

Escribe lo que te gustaría leer.

La pasión que sentimos al crear algo que amamos y que nos ilusiona se percibe en cómo narramos y el lector lo va a notar.

No escribas para los demás, escribe para ti.

So, um... this is bad. Really bad. I looked at the letters that were translated by the AI, and the very first one I found was almost entirely hallucination. Thread:

The new project mapping 7,000+ ancient letters is impressive: romanletters.org . The database & geolocation (although noting Pleiades rather than just AWMC would be nice) are great. But I absolutely cannot get over use of AI—however transparent—for translation.

🚨 Value human translators 🚨
AI translation transparency Modern English translations were produced using Claude (Anthropic), working from either the Latin/Greek original or an existing 19th-century English version. Translation work was guided by two internal documents: a translation guide covering late antique epistolary conventions, rhetorical register, and how to handle common formulaic phrases; and a modern voice guide specifying tone, vocabulary level, and how to avoid archaism while remaining faithful to the original. Al-generated translations are clearly marked in the interface. They are provided for accessibility and research convenience, not as authoritative scholarly translations. The original Latin or Greek is preserved alongside every translation, and 19th-century English versions are shown where available. Corrections from domain experts are welcome.

I read a book called "The horse, the wheel, and language" about Proto-Indo-European when I was around 19. Both the reconstruction and the language itself were absolutely fascinating for me, and fell in love with linguistics

Do you remember how you found out that linguistics existed and was a thing you could get enthusiastic about?

Me he terminado La Guerra de las Salamandras, del mismo autor que nos dió la palabra "robot" al mundo. Me ha gustado bastante. Se lee fácil y rápido, es interesante, y el momento en el que el autor se pone a discutir consigo mismo me pareció maravilloso.
