(Ma come si usa sto coso @altbot che a me non funziona? Dove sbaglio?)
se vuoi usarlo ogni tanto, basta menzionarlo nel toot con l'immagine.
Se vuoi usarlo sempre, basta seguirlo.
PERO'
- ogni tanto dà delle descrizioni... diciamo un po' "fantasiose" (ad essere buoni)
- ogni tanto non risponde (manutenzione, buchi di connettivià, altro)
Io, ad esempio, ho due app diverse. Una settata in italiano ed una in inglese che uso alternatamente a seconda di ciò che voglio pubblicare ed AltBot si adegua.
Ho appena ricevuto da una rivista Springer (indicizzata da tutti i motori principali) un articolo da visionare che era chiaramente generato da un LLM, con teoremi inesistenti, dimostrazioni mancanti e riferimenti bibliografici inventati. La rivista usa la revisione double blind. Capite dov'è il problema? Si lancia il sasso e si nasconde la mano...

Algorithmic social media now flooded with scary “spontaneous comments” from more or less known people who say “we’re at the brink of nuclear war” because Europe doesn’t want to capitulate to #Russia
One important detail missing here is that it’s not Europe who started the dumbest war of century on 24 February 2022 but Russia. And it’s only Russia who can end it.
This notion however completely evades the “nuclear war” proponents who seems to automatically assume Russia has some kind of intrinsic right to invade and start nuclear wars as if it was some kind of natural phenomenon, and zero discretion at whether to do it or not.

There is currently a scammer posing as a server admin telling people to temporarily change their Mastodon account's email to an address supplied by the scammer. This is a scam, don't do it.
Real admins will NEVER ask you to do this.

in reply to Nintendo .DS_Store • • •Title: Concrete syntax matters, actually
Abstract: Too many programming languages researchers dismiss concrete syntax as an afterthought: arbitrary, superficial, or distracting from matters of “actual” (semantic) importance. This received view ignores a critical factor: the human at the computer. Concrete syntax defines the principal interface through which programmers interact with the vast majority of programming languages. Moreover, this interface is hardly decoupled from semantics; even trivial-seeming differences in keywords, sigils, and indentation can affect how programmers utilize and reason about language behavior. Using examples from asynchronous control flow, gradual subtyping, first-class functions, and more, I will make a case for the importance of concrete syntax, why language designers often overlook it, and what this implies for those of us who care about the usability of abstractions. Finally, I will describe some preliminary work evaluating the role of lexical ambiguity in programmer comprehension of type system features.
