Daniel S. Katz (danielskatz@fosstodon.org)'s status on Thursday, 12-Sep-2024 01:11:09 JST Daniel S. Katz @civodul I heard an interesting talk from Matlab folks a couple of years ago where they described their depreciation process. If I remember right, they had releases every six months, and wouldn't deprecate anything (or make any changes that could break user code) with less than 4 releases (2 years) of notice.

Daniel S. Katz (danielskatz@fosstodon.org)'s status on Saturday, 07-Sep-2024 00:14:05 JST Daniel S. Katz "Artificial intelligence is worse than humans in every way at summarising documents and might actually create additional work for people, a government trial of the technology has found."
from https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/ai-worse-summarising-information-humans-government-trial/
The executive summary of the report (https://www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStore.ashx?id=b4fd6043-6626-4cbe-b8ee-a5c7319e94a0 includes) "The final assessment results of the PoC showed that out of a maximum of 75 points, the aggregated human summaries scored 61 (81%) and the aggregated Gen AI summaries scored 35 (47%)."

Daniel S. Katz (danielskatz@fosstodon.org)'s status on Friday, 12-Apr-2024 00:39:21 JST Daniel S. Katz I'm currently reading https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781538181614/Rescuing-Science-Restoring-Trust-In-an-Age-of-Doubt. I've made it through about half so far, and while I like some of it, and agree with the main ideas of it, it also seems much more pessimistic than my experiences as a student and an academic. I wonder if computer science is different than some of the other fields discussed, or if my part of it is, or if my experience outside of the tenure-track system makes things seem better to me than to the author.

I ended up photographing 197 species, of which 171 were new to me, plus some primates, insects, etc. I'll be posting some of the photos in a thread here, starting with owls today: Verreaux's Eagle Owl (juvenile) and Northern White-faced Owl (juvenile and adult) and a couple of Pearl-spotted Owlets in a next message
