Managed to tidy the darkroom sufficiently to allow for digitizing of negs, still need to sort the blinds out before I can get the wet stuff going.

Sometimes, digitizing a notebook is even more helpful than in other cases.
Marie Skłodowska Curie died of aplastic anaemia on 4 July 1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. Even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is still radioactive.

you’ll never guess who did the world’s laziest copy/paste job from an antiquated version of the form instead of digitizing the one I made that reflects the business’ current requirements, the one i tore my hair out for 2 entire days fighting word to properly format

Relatedly, one reason AI is so damn good in research math is that math as a field has done a MUCH better job of digitizing the literature than almost any other.
Not perfectly, but well enough that it's very hard not to run into prior art for anything of serious import if you're at all thorough.

This story is going wild on X and elsewhere. The site was already published by Dr. Francisco Estrada-Belli of Tulane University ages ago. This is why we have peer review. Mexican gov didn't have it in their database, but that doesn't mean it is unknown/unmapped.

My AI Agents Found an Unmapped Maya Site
AI agents analyzed NASA lidar data overnight and found a Maya site under the jungle that isn't on any map. Less than 72 hours later, Mexico's INAH replied.

And the fact that almost all recent math is not only digitized but *open-access* is really the cherry on top here.
One thing research funders should do *aggressively* is throw huge amounts of money at digitizing everything, because AI both makes it cheaper and makes it more useful to do so.

Free state identification cards and an issuing department whose job it is to help people get them if their birth records have been destroyed or lost. Digitizing ALL vital statistics records, regardless of year or circumstance of birth. Lowering the cost of green cards and residency permits.
What is an unsexy policy that if passed would immediately help millions of people?

True story: my kid went to Dartmouth (public school all the way, thank you, all his own doing) and worked three jobs on campus. One was digitizing the school paper from the late 80s, including Ingraham’s “columns.” She was monstrous even then, complete with bad takes.

I love it! I still lament that when I was digitizing/integrating the OCD into the ORE, we never connected OCD entries with Pleiades records.

Phew! Panic attack over. Found my two special babies. Not Gunna lie, I was freaking out. My Canon ef 100mm macro I use for digital portraits and digitizing film negs as well as my Pentax 28mm f2.0 Hollywood. So many boxes still left from the move.
