After yesterday’s thunderstorm it was much cooler today, good conditions for riding our new bikes to #Travemünde. Didn’t know you had to take a bus shuttle through the Herrentunnel, but it’s free and works well.

For decades, we've been going on vacation on the Baltic Sea, and for decades we’ve been renting bikes there. But the prices have gone up and the quality has gone downhill. So we finally bought our own bikes today and immediately went for a short ride to the Border Museum in Schlutup.

Also, we can now recommend “at Fahrräder” in Lübeck: https://at-fahrraeder.de

@ACM@mastodon.acm.org “Ultimately, AI systems will shape the future of scholarly communication.” So, resistance is futile, all your papers will be assimilated? None of the current AI systems are compatible with the principles formulated in the ACM Code. You talk about “responsible use” as if this was our problem, not the corporations’. THEY are responsible for the output generated by their products, not me, and not ACM either.

I understand that potential security or ethical issues of a computer system may not be obvious when the intended application is generally unproblematic.

However, when you specifically list medical, legal, and defense as application domains of your system, storing data locally rather than in the cloud is certainly a good idea, but you should think a bit harder about it.

In particular when it involves AI.

It’s great that conferences today are concerned with accessibility and inclusivity, but something that's still commonly overlooked is air quality.

Such levels of CO₂ are unhealthy.

Halfway through this paper that I’m reviewing appears an AI-generated diagram of the system the paper describes. The authors are transparent about it, but what do I make of this?

I’ve got to admit, this annoys me more than I expected.

Even if we assume that the diagram is structurally correct, the text contains the typical genAI artifacts (mashed-up letters, misspellings, etc.) that one wouldn’t accept in the main text—so it’s simply sloppy. What’s the point!?

In LaTeX, you typically use an array environment for this type of equations, and \hline for the horizontal rule. I just discovered that #Pandoc doesn’t translate the \hline for #Typst output—but I also couldn’t find how you’d even do this in Typst.

Any suggestions?

@UlrikeHahn@fediscience.org @tomstoneham@dair-community.social I just looked at the first subset (the ledger), and I think you’re right. I read the paper over breakfast, so that’s my excuse ;-) I still think that the idea is clever (in every sense), and also typical for CS, but yeah, it seems that there’s a lot more going on. I wonder to what extent this makes the benchmark more realistic and to what extent it just fuzzes things. Distractors are a good example; and the tension is to a large extent already inherent in LLMs.

@UlrikeHahn@fediscience.org @tomstoneham@dair-community.social Yes, the idea is much simpler, and the data formats they use are also limiting the complexity. So, it’s treated as a problem akin to, say, file conversion: Markdown → DOCX → LaTeX → troff → Markdown should ideally result in the original document. I totally agree, this analogy is limited; but as a first approach it’s a clever approach to operationalizing the problem.

@tomstoneham@dair-community.social @UlrikeHahn@fediscience.org It seems that this is an interesting case of different disciplinary expectations. Putting on my computer scientist’s hat, I’d say it’s simply a typical approach you use in CS. Whether round-tripping is a good approach in this _particular_ case is an interesting question. IMHO it’s a good way to establish some upper bound, but I agree that it captures only some aspects.

“In this work, we conduct a large-scale simulation of how users might delegate work to LLMs across 52 professional domains. We find that current LLMs are unreliable delegates: even frontier models corrupt an average of 25% of document content over long workflows, with sparse but severe errors that silently compound over time.”

Good to see the issue addressed explicitly, even though the results aren’t surprising—why would anyone expect LLMs to be reliable!?
