"Plötzlich Wissen!" ist ein guerilla #WissKomm Projekt von Dr. Julia Schnetzer, Inga Marie Ramcke und mir, gestartet in 2017 (Wissenschaftsjahr 2016*17 Meere und Ozeane), das sich zur Pandemie auf online verlegen musste, einiges hin & her hinter sich hat und immernoch läuft. Heute kam unser Paper darüber raus, im Journal of Science Communication, Sonderedition "

OER as Dynamic Digital Commons: Toward Maintenance and Governance
Introduction: Academic libraries have been instrumental in supporting the creation and adoption of open educational resources (OER), yet current approaches rely on imagining the possibilities of OER as static documents like traditional books. This conceptualization places unsustainable burdens on the labor of individual authors, particularly in rapidly evolving fields where knowledge changes quickly. We argue for an alternative conceptualization of OER as a dynamic digital commons, requiring on…

Microplastics and nanoplastics in urban air originate mainly from tire abrasion, research reveals
Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited. Chemical analyses from Leipzig now provide details from Germany for the first time: Around 4% of the particulate matter consists of plastic. Around two-thirds of this comes from tire abrasion.

…sometimes there’s •not• a clear standard way. Sometimes you need flexibility. For example, a lot of what makes UI programming hard is layout: you have to make your own very specific application look good on a variety of devices and screens, which means coming up with an •algorithm• for adjusting your design for all those different contexts.
That’s an intrinsically hard problem that requires design chops and nuance and contextual knowledge. Attempts to abstract the decisions out of that problem have been stubbornly unsuccessful. (How many layout engines are out there now?)

Mining the commons: AI extraction, Wikipedia, and the case for a multi-stakeholder settlement
Wikipedia was built on the premise that open knowledge benefits everyone. Generative AI has exposed the flaw in that bargain: openness without reciprocity turns a public good into a private extraction layer.

Coming to Knowledge:ORIGINALS on Thursday April 16 at 9PM and available for streaming on that date.
E.J.Hughes only wanted to be left alone to paint. He made hundreds of paintings in his 70 year career and lived long enough to hear on the telephone that one of his paintings fetched over $1m in his lifetime. Not many humans have that experience!
I was lucky enough to be invited to a preview at Emily Carr Uni - and I am very glad we went. Hughes was one of a kind!

A painting of Taylor Bay BC, in 1952 with a fishing boat in the foreground and a steamship in the background. There are a couple of waterside cabins and trees take up much of the top of the picture with a distant mountain on the left. The painter is E. J. Hughes and the picture is currently on display at the Audain Gallery in Whistler. The Painted Life of E.J.Hughes

I've been thinking more about this AI stuff in terms of industry impact. What I think will happen is that upward mobility will stall for a lot of devs (no more promotions), and there will be no new devs coming in.
Part of improving yourself is knowing that, one day, you'll likely pass your knowledge, responsibility, and more on to another person so you can pursue new and different challenges.
You'll essentially see folks stuck on a treadmill going nowhere until they f…
