A long overdue standard has now been published at W3C: "RDF Dataset Canonicalization". Essential for security related operations with RDF Datasets...

Note that the standard is published alongside 8 full implementations, which is great.

I have been using the perplexity.ai service for a while now, and I really like it. It is an LLM based conversational interface to Web search, which has the added quality of putting exact references into its response, so you can go back to the “real” sources. This “minor” touch makes it more useful than the other LLM based services in my view…

Of course, all answers are to be taken with a pinch of salt, but that is true for any web search after all...

The exponential enshittification of science

"…there is no way reviewers and journals are going to be able to keep up. Reviewers are typically unpaid academics who are already stretched to their limits; tripling their workload would not be feasible. […] the total number of articles may radically spike, many of them dubious and a waste of reviewers’ time. Lots of bad stuff is going to sneak in."

Anyone I know using #ArcBrowser? If you are, could you visit https://try.manyfold.app/libraries/1/models/1/model_files/1 and tell me if you see a nice boat or a mess of random triangles, please?

Tous les ans, c'est pareil, je suis fasciné par ces relents nationalistes dans les descriptions des prix Nobels comme cet article qui caractérise les chercheurs et chercheuses par leurs nationalités, alors que sur l'image, seule leur affiliation universitaire fait mention d'un pays...

Is there a feed reader (or similar thing) that you find particularly well made, pleasant, or that has interesting or powerful UI ideas?
