Just listened to a great Journalism History podcast episode today on deaf printers and a preservation project at Gallaudet University. Anyway their site has a great tutorial for making those caps: deafprinters.com/hat

Yes -- Github. It's already included in all your repos: docs.github.com/en/issues/pl...

You can view your project as a high-density table, as a kanban board, or as a timeline-style roadmap.

For "really large" projects I've found a Kanban approach has been behind my successful projects, especially when trying to meet a deadline. Even if tasks don't get completed because priorities or interests change, I find there are just too many moving parts to think about without a visual system.

That panel seems like a lifetime ago. IIRC the state partners should have archival copies of their scans. Another way to quickly get the data would be to pull the AmStories dataset from HF. I haven't verified but their JSON should point to all of ChronAm's JP2s: huggingface.co/datasets/del...

We tried this a few years ago with lacquered cherry that we cut to type high. I think wood-mounted acrylic would have been easier. We chose an early digital font but had issues with kerning. If I could do it again, I'd probably use a font that was monospaced or somehow indicate cut-lines.

Also seemed to have a propensity towards Springer and JSTOR articles. I'm not sure if it was what I was asking about or licensing agreements w openai

Interesting. I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a trial run of pro. I asked o3 for some articles about a topic I'm researching & found ~1/2 of the articles were useful. Some of the things it claimed were in the articles simply weren't and it gave me quite a few dead links.

Hey that's me! Good answers in this thread. The most continuous one that I'm aware of are the Ayer directories (I cut off my work w them in the 1920s bc of copyright reasons). They continued through the 20th C and were eventually acquired by Gale: catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/00064...

If you don't already have it, consider digging into training datasets like the Pile, the books3 controversy, or the current NYT vs OpenAI lawsuit re:fair use
