I have a domain https://t.co/3V2RmVqAa4 that is to this date under utilised but it is also my @ handle in the azure heavens which hopefully will replace this bird site in near future ;-)

while people tend to say that rust is overrated, I have tons of academic c++ code that can be fixed/broken by un/recommenting a debug printf statement but this has never happened to me in rust yet ;-)

reviewer 2 had some criticism about my paper title? see me rant about chat gpts and inari saami in Helsinki in few weeks! free entry. https://t.co/Wa44glSVIM

I feel like having AI pretending to be human telephoning a customer service bot is perhaps the absolute most inefficient way of handling anything ever. like wtf

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

https://t.co/Wm2V9kHnJu this is pretty much what I wanted to say on the topic

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

especially so if you have a job that essentially could be done from home office but you are required to sit in the office for specific office hours.

@mdlhx thanks for the tip, it's actually really useful right now as I'm working with several deadlines and probably have such mistakes in all of the copypasted bibs I'm using

twitter is still getting worse and worse, but where is everyone on bluesky or mastodon or?

tifo that arxiv uses latexml to generate nice html documents . I've been doing the same for my articles since forever but this means that latexml will likely be maintained and upkept in the future and get more obscure package supported. (Caused by: https://t.co/aaronTvGzn )

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

LLMs don't do logical reasoning but rule-based "symbolic" AI does. There are strengths and limitations for both and obvious use cases and hybrid uses... this debate is so boring smh lol

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

@mdlhx did you mean: \newcommand{\bart}{\mbox{t\hspace{-.35em}-}}? I copypaste this to every article requiring ACL template and pdflatex (sometimes after submitting luatex version and getting threats of rejection due to different looking font sigh lol)

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

this is like everyday experience with (machine) translated softwares lol

what

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

I have long ago added langauge to my spelling dictionary st if I mispell it in my articles it will stick until someone else notices it if ever. It's a good way to see if the reviewer has even read the article lol

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

I am something of a physician...physicists too :-)

I like that my laptop keyboard has two kill switches for wifi, a button to kill external screen and a power button in what is supposed t be function keys but actual useful keys like home end pgup and pgdn just don't be working anywhere anymore sigh lol

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

why are we still stuck with pdflatex and writing weird tex incantations to be able to have ŧ or đ or ő or я in papers about "computational linguistics" sigh lol

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

This is an interesting article about a part of AI use I have been thinking for a while: https://t.co/HOFGunA9AB

[Flammie Pirinen @ffFlammie]

I think I came up with a good joke but chat gpt doesn't seem to understand it :-(
