It’s wild that Aaron Swartz was aggressively prosecuted for scraping JSTOR articles.

Meanwhile huge companies routinely scrape the public internet and sell it for $20/month and all is well.

Aaron helped create RSS, Creative Commons, Markdown and a little site called Reddit (which now ironically sells its data to AI companies) - all by the age of 26.

All he wanted was free and open access to information. Really makes you wonder the dent he’d have made on the world if he was still alive today.

It’s tax time again, so I’m going to continue to brag about this (and give you all lessons learned).

Our work on the trajectories of scientists in the knowledge space has been published in EPJ Data Science @epj_ds! We show that tools for studying human mobility can be applied to the mobility within scientific knowledge.🧵

Do you want to use GPT for text annotation in social science?📕With @eollion @RubingShen @ChatelainArnau5 we wrote a @NatMachIntell correspondence on some risks of doing so. More in the 🧵below and in our paper🧾https://t.co/YD3jRoBUwz 1/9

@MishaTeplitskiy not explicitly ABM, but great for how to use them.

[Robert Ward @robertnward]

@MishaTeplitskiy I find the chapters on simulation in Hamming's book "The Art of Doing Science and Engineering" really helpful from a research design / iteration perspective too!

[John B. Holbein @JohnHolbein1]

You know those policies that some universities have that admit the top X% of each high school in the state?

They're really good for disadvantaged students.

They increase graduation rates and annual salaries of disadvantaged students *a lot*.

@eric_is_weird Have you seen the FOIA released interviews with past DARPA directors? They’re fascinating.

@gptbrooke @embryosophy If they could do this to Brooke, what couldn’t they do to a crow @meatballtimes ?

[Robert Ward @robertnward]

@gptbrooke Some people might be thinking… it can’t be that bad… I’m here to tell you it was

[Robert Ward @robertnward]

@meatballtimes @gptbrooke @gptbrooke get the secret good treats and buckle up.
