UA (User Alchemy) is like UX design, but more invasive.

So far, best option I’ve found is “Chapter Captor”, an experiment from 2020 using a BERT language model.

I’m on the hunt for a way to break 20,000 books/book-like-things into chapters, titles, author etc. Curious @jmhuculak do you know such a tool? (Going from plaintext.)

@RoyRinberg And add a playable DAG view to the wish list:

@RoyRinberg Pyreverse also just does classes and packages, so doesn't do functions that are outside of a class. I'm looking for the same thing you are!

@RoyRinberg Would also be cool to get circle-packing hierarchy viz like this:

OK! let’s talk about That Op-ed. The one that insisted not only that privacy is dangerous, but that not affirmatively building surveillance into communication tools is a radical ideological position. 1/ https://t.co/q1mejojREU

This week I tweeted about my new successful grant 🎉🎉

But you know what else happened this week?

I failed....A.L.O.T. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

A thread 🧵of everything I wasn't excited to share with @AcademicChatter

Two days ago the NYT posted an investigation into politicians trading stocks

They found that 81 Democrats & 101 Republicans filed up to 3,700 trades and $100M in possible volume

Many had 100% winners, with some perfectly timed

Here’s examples of just how good they were

This is so cool. Progressive disclosure for all

.@ncasenmare just launched Nutshell, a library for transcluding content across sites. "Unlike links, Nutshell lets you include only the snippet you need, not the whole page." I love thinking about how this is going to change docs: https://t.co/oB81JNvYxw

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.

Recently, one of our marketers discovered that Amazon does not allow "queer theory" to be included as a keyword in enhanced product descriptions (the fancy graphics you sometimes see at the bottom of a book page on Amazon).

"Vaccines only" #COVID19 strategy w removal of other protections makes perfect if you hold 6 beliefs

Each belief WAS reasonable in 2020, yet proved wrong w time. Now, to maintain the idea that things are OK, each of these 6 beliefs must be defended with ever more vigor 🧵

Excited for this...

@_brohrer_ @matplotlib @FFmpeg @Brohrer Thanks, that’s great. I’ll @ you when we’ve got something in case you’re interested in seeing it.

[A pinball machine in a Ferrari @fr1ll]

@_brohrer_ @matplotlib @FFmpeg @Brohrer I should’ve said “timing of events after t=O sums”.

The audience/focus for this explainer is seismic data processors.

So some conventions change too — e.g. we’d show signals oriented vertically since they represent reflections from earth layers.

[A pinball machine in a Ferrari @fr1ll]

@_brohrer_ @matplotlib @FFmpeg @brohrer mind if we use some of this code with attribution in a 1d conv / xcorrelation explainer I’m helping make?

Hoping to incl some interactions so ppl can develop intuitions about: why flip the kernel? Why does timing sum of + events in kernel/input?
