Personne n'ose aborder le vrai fond de l'histoire: l'anachronisme des familles royales. N'empêche que l'éditorial d'Isabelle Hachey nous amène sur un autre sujet Š partir de la photo truquée: le mensonge en politique.

Photo retouchée de Kate Middleton | L’art de s’enfoncer
En avril 2023, j’ai fait une demande de documents auprès d’un organisme assujetti à la loi fédérale sur l’accès à l’information. En principe, les documents auraient dû m’être livrés en trois mois. Je les attends toujours. Pas de quoi écrire à sa mère, encore moins une chronique, me direz-vous.

The #Claude v3 Sonnet #LLM is a real talker. For queries where other models just give the answer it seems very set on writing both an introduction and conclusion.
(I won't ascribe this to their pricing, as it's a reasonable choice to increase quality of results, but they DO charge more for their …

The Power of Absence: Thinking with Archival Theory in Algorithmic Design
This paper explores the value of archival theory as a means of grappling with bias in algorithmic design. Rather than seek to mitigate biases perpetuated by datasets and algorithmic systems, archival theory offers a reframing of bias itself. Drawing on a range of archival theory from the fields of history, literary and cultural studies, Black studies, and feminist STS, we propose absence-as power, presence, and productive-as a concept that might more securely anchor investigations into the caus…

"as the Hester episode shows, violent sentiments can be expressed by people very close to power, seemingly without serious consequences for their political and commercial activities. Meanwhile, peaceful protesters are increasingly sent to prison" -- Gaby Hinscliff

Sociotechnical Considerations for SLAM Anchors in Location-Based AR
In this position paper, we explore the power of storytelling and its connection to place through the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology, particularly within the context of Thámien Ohlone history on the Santa Clara University campus. To do this, we utilized SLAM and 8th Wall to create virtual, location-based experiences that geolocate tribal stories at present-day sites, showcase the living culture of the Thámien Ohlone tribe, and advocate for physical markers that could exist to recogni…

… and that might be the reason deadlines are abused in companies.
There are usually two results of asking “what happens if this deadline is missed?”
1. The answer is most of the time vague, confusing, and communicating no real implications.
2. The person asking will get catalogues as “not strategic” with the future implications of that.

Markov chain models for inspecting response dynamics in psychological testing
The importance of considering contextual probabilities in shaping response patterns within psychological testing is underscored, despite the ubiquitous nature of order effects discussed extensively in methodological literature. Drawing from concepts such as path-dependency, first-order autocorrelation, state-dependency, and hysteresis, the present study is an attempt to address how earlier responses serve as an anchor for subsequent answers in tests, surveys, and questionnaires. Introducing the…
