I was like 😮‍💨 I don't use php, but then remembered our wikibase... I already did these recommendations github.com/wmde/wikibas... But also - disabled multipart bodies uploads in nginx - container memory cap - disabled quickstatments, which is a separate php app even tho its packaged with wb suite

And I made this 1 hour paper marble GAN tour video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmSy...

Browsing the paper marbles in U of Washington Libraries Decorated Paper Collection I was thinking about how latent space could be used to organize and categories. I built a paper marble GAN to try to explore: Blog: thisismattmiller.com/post/paper-m... Explorer: paper-marble.thisismattmiller.cloud

I think about what Roger wrote about Dolly Parton in his 9 TO 5 review any time I think of her: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/nine...

A MacOS app to quickly browse large JSON new line delimited files. github.com/thisismattmi... Making little programs I find useful in my work. I often have ndjson/jsonnl files as part of my workflows I want to search, inspect or pull examples from.

This might be one of the best pieces of AI literacy content I’ve seen online so far — it’s long, but very nuanced and well researched… and is coming from another leftist! I wish people would listen to people like Dr. Fatima instead of Ed Zitron.

Happy to not be in DC today. Back in ohio, where in my hometown it's Laila Edwards Day, even had a parade for her.

Yes! I got to present with @mellymeldubs.bsky.social about our essay, written with @thisismattmiller.com, BookReconciler arxiv.org/abs/2512.10165

A lot of great posts recently on this topic of "vibe coding as enabler," including the two linked here. For me it's manifested as a way to scratch a digital project itch I've had for a decade, a data explorer for a set of Brewery directories from 1899 - 1918: hadro.github.io/brewery-guid...

I wrote a little Chrome extension to make animated WebP (“weppy”) files from a region of a webpage: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/weppy... I use it when writing documentation and I want to show a short animation (in Github README for example). Simpler than a WebM video and more modern than GIF.

Very happy to introduce a new tool, BookReconciler! You can take spreadsheets with book data and add subject headings, descriptions, ISBNs, HathiTrust IDs, & more. You can also cluster editions & variations of the same "Work." Led by @thisismattmiller.com and supported by @post45data.bsky.social.

A hard problem with literary data is navigating btwn editions of books and what the "work," or the theoretical text that unites all editions. I've been lucky to work with @thisismattmiller.com and @mellymeldubs.bsky.social, who built a tool to address this + do much more arxiv.org/abs/2512.10165
