Gregory's ServerI recently started working as a frontend engineer at Meedan! I work with an international team to build software that helps fact-checkers around the globe do their work more efficiently and accurately. I like their (our?!) approach to the software, which is that it's primarily about coordinating the labor of human verification rather than the software itself doing verification on its own.

   @darius congrats! that's really interesting! i've been playing around with a little app (so a way smaller scale than meedan) to assist fact-checking, actually. it's more of a per-story organizational tool, to help an editor track what they have and haven't verified as they move through the story. it looks like meedan's focus is helping journalists triage incoming claims and manage the fact-checks they've already published? Hey, Meedan has a "welcome Darius" post up that has a little Q&A with me: https://meedan.com/blog/welcome-darius-kazemi-our-senior-frontend-developer/  @darius Neat! Your mention of similar images reminded me -- you've seen https://iscc.codes/ ? @darius really enjoyed that interview, thanks for sharing it. (apropos of your last fact: growing up, i was on a little league baseball team sponsored by muhammad ali)  @darius oh wow, congrats Darius -- I missed the memo about your new gig, that looks like an excellent match! |
@darius Congrats, sounds like truly good work. (Saw it when I briefly hopped on Twitter - glad you also shared here!)
