Pour @GrandjeanMartin, il faut solliciter les compétences humaines que #ChatGPT ne peut pas imiter si l'on veut limiter la capacité des étudiants à l'utiliser dans le cadre académique.
Fond memories of driving a #VWIltis over the icy backroads of the Bavarian Prealps in the middle of the night. And compared to the VW 181, the Iltis was modern.

First I thought, driving your #VW181 open-top in winter is pretty hardcore. But The Thing doesn’t have a useful heating anyway, so I guess it doesn’t make a big difference.

I used to think that the #Ikki68 Aurora #MechanicalKeyboard reports “500 mA current required” because it uses a generic USB controller, and the value is hardcoded to the maximum. But I’m starting to think that it actually does draw a lot of power: I’ve now connected it to a USB C port, and it doesn’t seem to randomly disappear anymore…
The Palimpsest #Emacs minor mode by @danielsz@emacs.ch is pretty handy when revising an article.
@frode Oh. I hope you’re better now. All the best!
@marsianica Mit mettigeln und orangenen sitzlandschaften, und alle rauchen …
@marsianica Ja, eher als zeitzeugnis interessant ;-)

This list of pitfalls for journalists to avoid in reporting on artificial intelligence is broadly applicable to emerging tech in general. Useful to anyone who wishes to spread insight instead marketing snake oil. https://aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/eighteen-pitfalls-to-beware-of-in
Many thanks to @Julia for bringing timely knowledge into my inbox:

@felwert @DHdKonferenz Yes, I don’t doubt the good intentions, but it’s only getting worse.
Another reason why I will stop reviewing for the global #DigitalHumanities conference: review responses. It’s humiliating to make authors beg reviewers for better grades. But since the abstracts remain unchanged, there is no reason to change my mind (unless I made an actual mistake, of course). If everything is meant to be negotiable, why have review criteria in the first place? Bonus: as the reviews are open, some authors will probably denounce reviewers that didn’t “correct” their grades.
