"textContent": "Items of interest elsewhere… A survey of Kant’s relationships with women, including the “catastrophically underrated” Caroline von Keyserlingk — Daniel Andreas dishes on Kant’s love life. Don’t miss the sexy letter from Maria Charlotta Jacobi “You applied to a PhD program in philosophy in the U.S. You haven’t been admitted. You haven’t been rejected. You’re in limbo.” — some explanation and advice from Eric Schwitzgebel (UC Riverside) “Williams was seeking to reconcile dateless truth with transient meanings, naked reality with the mediation of perception and language” — a Nietzschean appreciation of Bernard Williams in Prospect Magazine “As a courtier, Leibniz is always striving to watch which way the wind blows, and is a master of the art of saying different things to different people” — Justin Smith-Ruiu on Leibniz and Peter the Great PBS is producing a three-part documentary on Henry David Thoreau — its first big reveal: how to pronounce “Thoreau” Over 32,000 medieval manuscripts have been digitally transcribed in four months using AI — though the error rate of 9.7% indicates that at this point reliable transcription “depends on medievalists and technologists working together” “What will happen to science when AI models produce results beyond our ability to understand?” — extrapolations from AI chess engines to the content and pace of AI-produced science Mini-Heap posts usually appear when several new items accumulate in the Heap of Links, a collection of items from around the web that may be of interest to philosophers. The Heap of Links consists partly of suggestions from readers; if you find something online that you think would be of interest to the philosophical community, please send it in for consideration for the Heap. Thank you.Previous edition.\n\nThe post Mini-Heap first appeared on Daily Nous.",
