My first operating system was CP/M. An operating system created in 1974 by Gary Kildall, the founder of Digital Research. Few people knows who was Gary Kildall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kildall) and his CPM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M).

Apple and Microsoft have taken the history for them..

📊 14.8 billion YouTube videos and counting! While YouTube's algorithm thinks it knows what you want, researchers had to "drunk dial" random video URLs just to count them all. Turns out studying YouTube is like counting stars - you need to look beyond what's recommended to see the whole universe. 🌟 #YouTubeScience #DigitalResearch

At the core, overcoming these barriers requires innovation, commitment to collaboration, and a shared responsibility for FAIR and sustainable data practices.

What strategies do you believe are key to advancing open and transparent digital research?

50 years ago, CP/M started the microcomputer revolution..

"In 1974, Gary Kildall got the first version working and changed the world of operating systems..".

The first operating system I used. :0) #Nostalgia

En este libro, se habla de su vida y el desarrollo del CP/M. Una fuente bibliográfica muy recomendada para los amantes del retro computing

En el libro "They Made America: From the Steam Engine to the Search Engine: Two Centuries of Innovators" de Harold Evans y otros, hay una sección dedicada a Gary Kildall, quien en computación todos le debemos mucho
El creó el SO CP/M, compilador PL/M, lenguaje de programación Basic para CP/M, lenguaje ensamblador para el Intel 4004, y junto a su esposa Dorothy McEwen, fundó Digital Research (creadores del DR-DOS, el entorno gráfico GEM, y más)

Meet Jan Rörden, our new #DigitalResearch Officer at the #GIGA! 👋

Jan joined us in May 2024 after working as a researcher at Fraunhofer ISI. We asked him about his role and what excites him about the new position.

#LLMs #digitalresearch #computationalsocialscience

We wrote an article on the perils and challenges of using LLMs to simulate humans or social interactions: https://sociologica.unibo.it/article/view/19576 It's a part of a special issue of Sociologica (check it out!). Our main point is that, while tempting, using LLMs to simulate users is not such a great idea and it rests on top of many problematic assumptions. it's very tempting and we're afraid it might grow rapidly

Currently reading OSINT Techniques: Resources for Uncovering Online Information by Michael Bazzell. Grateful to the Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg Library for offering such valuable resources. Excited to explore the techniques and tools outlined in this book for navigating and uncovering information online — perfect for any OSINT enthusiast or anyone passionate about digital research and privacy!

Mini-Doc: Let's talk about CP/M

https://makertube.net/videos/watch/1bfb7497-47d0-465c-895d-113e3b7e9d44

Did I watch the FCukup this weekend? Of course not! Instead, being an uber-geek I built this Z80-MBC2 board and revisited the groovy 70s computing era. Definitely a nostalgic trip down computer memory lane.

Peter Smith has blogged about his PhD placement with us at the #BritishLibrary - read here about his work with eScriptorium to improve Chinese HTR models (binarisation, segmentation, transcription), working closely with Colin Brisson (EPHE).

The #DEC #Rainbow computer tried to straddle two worlds of computing: the emerging world of MS-DOS and the established microcomputer world dominated by CP/M, which was made by another company called #Digital.
