I just put in a donation to @BlackTrowel and if you have the means you should do the same

@sarae @electricarchaeo But I'm no expert in public archaeology. Probably @clmorgan or @archaeologistsp or others who know a lot more about social media and archaeology could provide a more informed perspective
@sarae @electricarchaeo I think this really misrepresents how most archaeologists use instagram and disregards the potential that it can have. At Stelida for instance, they have a dedicated public outreach coordinator who is well-versed in archaeological ethics, and they do indeed use their instagram as a teaching tool. It complements other forms of public engagement, including museum exhibitions, school visits and coordination with government agencies.
@sarae So the alternatives that I see are (a) archaeologists continue posting on instagram where these things you describe occur with impunity (as @electricarchaeo can attest via his research on this topic), (b) archaeologists join large non-specialized pixelfed servers with overwhelmed moderators who probably have lesser standards, or (c) archaeologists refrain from posting at all, missing valuable opportunities for public engagement.
@sarae @electricarchaeo All the more reason to establish a community-led venue with guidelines that reflect archaeological ethics.
Projects often use instagram for public outreach and this would make it easier for them to ditch that platform. And there are so many great archaeological photographers there that I would love to continue to follow.
@electricarchaeo this was proposed for archaeo.social last year, but maybe it can regain some momentum? https://github.com/orgs/archaeo-social/discussions/2
@kevinbowrin @jonny imagine running the most widely used bibliographic database and not supporting dois or any other kind of unique identifier in any way, shape or form whatsoever
honestly not at all surprised that the libertarian ceo of the quick-technical-solution-to-solve-hard-social-issues-company is an iffy dude
@teamseaslug You might want to check out Publish or Perish: https://harzing.com/resources/publish-or-perish
It actually accesses several bibliographic databases (crossref, web of science, google scholar, etc) but you can filter by journal title
I don't think I've ever used DVI to hook up to an external monitor but due to some weird IT policy at my new workplace (I'm only allowed to use ports that are currently unoccupied) they're ordering me a DVI/USB-C adapter --- I had no idea these things even existed?
@hbuschme Right, I see what you mean. I'll definitely have to compare different configurations to see what works best for my own purposes. To be honest I'm not a hardcore conversational analysis guy and I definitely will not need most of what GAT-2 affords
@hbuschme I'm not really sure what differences whisper or other models would produce. Is there a tangible differences in terms of outcomes?
Of course immediately after I posted this I stumbled on GailBot (https://sites.tufts.edu/hilab/gailbot/), which is still in progress and currently closed source. I requested access to the latest build, hopefully it works well enough for my purposes
Does anyone I know use LLMs to make detailed annotated transcripts à la GAT 2 or Jefferson style? Such as annotating with duration of pauses, identifying overlap in speech, laughter, shouting, etc. I started a discussion/feature request at the whisper github (https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/discussions/2732) but maybe y'all have some experience with this kinda thing
My mom is reading a Jodi Picoult novel about romance among archaeologists (honestly, not far off from https://twitter.com/tinyarchae), and she sent me some really great descriptions of digital fieldwork methods
