I’ve been working on a little ChatGPT project involving the list of tags I use to label posts here at New Savanna. While the project doesn’t actually require that I know that number, I decided, while I’m at it, why not? To be sure, it’ll take a bit of time, and be a bit tedious, but why the hell not? So I counted them.
I’ve done this sort of thing before:
Once again, what's up with all the tags/labels? – 544 tags on December 11, 2016
https://new-savanna.blogspot.com/2019/12/once-again-whats-up-with-all-tagslabels.html
Tags/labels at New Savanna: What's up with that? – 481 tags on November 7, 2017
https://new-savanna.blogspot.com/2017/11/tagslabels-at-new-savanna-whats-up-with.html
And then I got carried away, threw caution to the wind, and went into the WayBack Machine to count up the number nearer the early days of the blog. While my oldest post is dated April 14, 2010, the Wayback Machine’s oldest snapshot of New Savanna is from July 21, 2011, when I had 252 tags. So, it took me a year and two months to accumulate 252 tags. Then – why not? – I decided to check another date. August 7, 2012 seemed like a good one to try. So I did, 292 tags. That means that I only added 40 tags in a bit over a year since July 21, 2011.
I’ve put those tag lists below. But first...
Estimating my production function
If you are a fan of Tyler Cowen, as I am, then you know that in his Conversations with Tyler he often asks his guests about their production function, how they do whatever it is they do. Well, I now have a way of estimating the output of my production function over the course of this blog. Let’s divide the total number of tags, 655, by the age of the blog in years, 13 years and 7 months is 13.6 years, giving me an output of 48 tags per year.
Given that a large fraction of my intellectual output turns up on New Savanna in one way or another, that’s not an unreasonable number to consider. It would be easy enough to calculate how many posts I produce a year if I wished, but I’m not going to do that, because that particular number is not what I have in mind. What I’m thinking is that that count would thereby give me two measures.
As a first approximation, I’m going to say they measure different things. The post count is a simply a word count, or rather, a words-plus-photos count. The tag count is a new-idea count. To be sure, it’s a very crude approximation to new ideas, but, on first glance, it does seem to me that that’s what it is. I only add tags when I want a convenient way to refer to a new topic. One could, of course, write about the same thing year after year, in which case the tag list would remain constant from year to year. That’s how you succeed in the academy, publish the same three ideas year after year after year until you go emeritus. That’s just not how I roll.
I suppose the next thing to do would be to create a GPT to help navigate New Savanna, with links to my repositories at Academia.edu, Flickr, and YouTube. Later.
