OpenAI launches ‘deep research’ tool that it says can match research analyst - why not have a few of these running all the time - the real time constant data feeds really get left out of the ai equation but i think it will start to catch up more for smb #free for commercial use #scan your data and use that as a framework for much more data #apa #citations #footnotes #McGyver ai #scapy

The call for Web Residencies »Tools for Citation« from Akademie Schloss Solitude looks amazing:

"The residency encourages artists to delve into associative trails, transdisciplinary thinking, and collaborative processes in and between analogue and digital networks and worlds to explore the practices of citation."

It’s so refreshing to be reading an older #philosophy book that has true #footnotes instead of #endnotes. In addition to the obvious, it reminds me of a conversation with my favorite philosophy professor — when I complained about the frustration of dealing with endnotes, having to bounce back and forth between text and notes, he said “Oh, I just read all of the endnotes first, and then read the text itself.” Would that I could.

How to make Markdown Footnotes start at Zero in WordPress
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/10/how-to-make-markdown-footnotes-start-at-zero-in-wordpress/

As a dedicated and professional computer scientician0, I believe that all indices must start at zero. Not one, not two, but zero1.

The zeroth2 element is sacrosanct to our creed; for in the beginning there was nothing.

If you're using WordPress's JetPack, it uses an ancient version of Markdown Extra. You can either monkeypatch this, or install a separate Markdown plugin.

I've patched my fork of it in two specific places.

Firstly, I set $this->footnote_counter = 0; in the initial config of the footnotes.

Secondly, I changed the display so that the ordered list began from zero: <ol start="0">

Wait… should that be zerothly and firstly?

There's no way to change footnote links to symbols like * or ♪. Perhaps I'll add that next3?

Anyway, I enjoy hacking around on my theme.

0. I've even got certificates in it! ↩︎

1. Five is right out! ↩︎

2. Or is it "noughtst"? ↩︎

3. OK, maybe there is a way. But it isn't particularly easy or automated. ↩︎

So I thought I got info straight from a website but actually after spending 45 minutes on the wayback machine, it turns out that I apparently took what they actually said and then abstracted it to make a visual.

So, past me was quite smart (and my visual is quite cool) but past me didn’t quite get the credit right. Document document document, and claim credit for your own work!

#Footnotes, so many footnotes

The new #Bibisco is really really good! The addition of #footnotes and #comments as well as the enhanced #CharacterDevelopment are a welcome surprise.

If you're a #writer or a #novelist and you've never really taken a liking to #Scrivener, then you really owe it to yourself to check out Bibisco.

It's free and open source (#foss)! But there is a Supporters' Edition available on Gumroad with a few extra features if you want to support its development.

"Hatchjaw remarks (unconfirmed, however, by Bassett) that throughout the whole ten years that went to the writing of The Country Album de Selby was obsessed with mirrors and had recourse to them so frequently that he claimed to have two left hands and to be living in a world arbitrarily bounded by a wooden frame."

History’s Footnotes

The addition of footnotes to texts by historians began long before their supposed inventor, Leopold von Ranke, started using them (poorly, as it turns out).

We need more #footnotes in #Academia like footnote 11. Thank you Colin Richmond. From _The Penket Papers_ (1986) #BritishMuseum #Lavatory

Oh the joy of #footnotes, this one has “I am using British understatement here. The American equivalent would be ‘utter crap.’” :-). If you're interested in the complete article do read https://www.tcj.com/reviews/rogue-trooper-blighty-valley/.

Anyone have a favorite example of well-done web footnotes? Either design or implementation?

Getting really deep into a new footnotes thing and looking around for nice, existing examples to cite.
