Wees voorzichtig met lappen/keukenpapier/dweiltjes/etc als je er olie of vet op zit (na klussen, koken, schoonmaken)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/10
Een onbekend fenomeen voor velen, maar als je olie of vet op lappen, keukenpapier of dweiltjes en dergelijke hebt zitten dan kan er zo maar brand ontstaan.
Die brand komt door broei. Broei is als vet of olie onder invloed van lucht steeds warmer wordt en dan uiteindelijk zelf gaat branden of de lappen/keukenpapier/dweiltjes/etc in brand steekt.
Broei versnelt als alles opeengepakt ligt maar er toch voldoende lucht bij kan komen.
Uit onderstaande linkjes zijn er zijn grofweg drie mogelijkheden om dit te voorkomen (lees de linkjes goed door om te bepalen wat in jouw situatie het beste mogelijk is):
- compact en luchtdicht verpakken (maar wees voorzichtig als dat bij het afval komt: dan weet je niet of het luchtdicht blijft en kan er alsnog bij vervoer/verwerken brand ontstaan!)
- heet wassen (minimaal 60 graden Celsius) zodat de olie/vet met zeep of wasmiddel wegspoelt, en niet in de droger drogen
- uithangen op een goed geventileerde plek zodat het droogt (en vet/olie verdampt)

Type systems are an accessibility tool for programming; for weakly languages you should enable type hints or type enforcement
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/25
I made [Wayback/Archive] Rebecca Skinner on Twitter: “Type systems are an accessibility tool for programming with ADHD.” stronger in the post title, as I have been a proponent of stronger typed environments for all my programming life.
Yes, (unit) tests and tooling can alleviate this in part for more weakly typed languages but lots of people forget (or “forget”) putting these in place.
So please please: make your development environment as strictly typed as possible.
Not just your ADHD colleagues will applaud you for this, but your future self will as well.

Wetend dat veel Twitter reacties bestaan uit externalisering van de innerlijke conflicten van de reageerder kun je die makkelijker negeren
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/15
[Wayback/Archive] Sam Gerrits on Twitter: “Had het net met goede vriendin die psychotherapeut is over zeg 25 % van de reacties op Twitter. Las er een paar voor. Zij: “Ze reageren niet op wat je zegt, ze externaliseren hun innerlijke conflict. Dit zie ik ook in mijn behandelkamer. Maar het is mijn vak en ik kan in overleg””.
[Wayback/Archive] Sam Gerrits on Twitter: “Hier een uitleg over externaliseren. Zinvol om in je achterhoofd te houden en om compassie op te kunnen brengen voor zelfs de meest schuimbekkende reacties. Of om ze gewoon naast je neer te kunnen leggen, zonder het idee te hebben dat je er iets mee moet. …”

Bereavement or grief do not just take place after death, adverse life changing events are also cause for them.
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/12
Below are some Dutch messages around bereavement and grief that take place before someone dies: it is important to be aware that adverse life changing events are also reasons for those emotions. Besides patients and their close ones, also medical professionals and care takers can grief as they too need to find a way to adjust to the new situation.
[Wayback/Archive] Rob Bruntink on Twitter: “Ik sprak met Manu Keirse over de vraag wat zorgverleners kunnen betekenen voor rouwenden. Mooi aan zijn antwoord is oa dat hij rouw niet uitsluitend koppelt aan de periode ná een overlijden. ‘Rouw begint direct bij het slechtnieuwsgesprek’.”
[Wayback/Archive] Manu Keirse: ‘De zorgverlener rouwt mee’ – Dutch Health Hub
A related English post is [Wayback/Archive] How Survivors Can Cope With Grief After Cancer | Cancer.Net
When you first learned of your cancer diagnosis, grief may have been one of the many feelings you experienced. It is natural to grieve when we go through loss or change—whether it is the loss of who you were before your diagnosis or the loss of physical body parts. And since cancer often results in many losses—expected and unexpected—grief is naturally part of the experience.

FemFM – 〝50% vrouw in je oor, of we zappen door!〞
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/30
[Wayback/Archive] FemFM – 〝50% vrouw in je oor, of we zappen door!〞 werd in 2024 gelanceerd vlak voor de Women’s History Month en Internationale Vrouwendag door Felienne Hermans.
Felienne is bekend van bijvoorbeeld haar promotieonderzoek naar de impact van Excel op de samenleving, maar vooral van haar drive te onderzoeken hoe zo veel mogelijk mensen – ongeacht hun achtergrond – kunnen leren programmeren), Joy of Coding, de Hedy programmeertaal (met veel support voor andere alfabetten dan wat we in de westerse wereld gebruiken) en haar boek The Programmer’s Brain: What every programmer needs to know about cognition.
Ze is enorm goed in haar werk, en komt daarmee regelmatig in aanraking met vooringenomenheid over vrouwen. Daar verbaast ze zich terecht over, en ook dat het lastig om content (op allerlei soorten gebieden) te consumeren gemaakt door vrouwen. Dat overkwam haar bijvoorbeeld bij het luisteren naar muziek op de Nederlandse radio: daar kwamen veel meer mannelijke artiesten aan bod dan vrouwelijke.
Vandaar FemFM, en Felienne zou Felienne niet zijn als de source code niet openbaar was, dus hier wat linkjes:

Autumn 2023 research: How Is ChatGPT’s Behavior Changing over Time?
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/21
[Wayback/Archive] https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.09009.pdf ([Google Docs PDF view: Wayback] Google Docs PDF view: 2307.09009.pdf) is interesting. The abstract confirms my thought: over time LLM drift over time and seem to become worse at knowledge tasks.
How Is ChatGPT’s Behavior Changing over Time?
Lingjiao Chen†, Matei Zaharia‡, James Zou†
†Stanford University ‡UC BerkeleyAbstract
GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are the two most widely used large language model (LLM) services.
However, when and how these models are updated over time is opaque. Here, we evaluate the March 2023 and June 2023 versions of GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 on several diverse tasks: 1) math problems, 2) sensitive/dangerous questions, 3) opinion surveys, 4) multi-hop knowledge-intensive questions, 5) generating code, 6) US Medical License tests, and 7) visual reasoning. We find that the performance and behavior of both GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can vary greatly over time. For example, GPT-4 (March 2023) was reasonable at identifying prime vs. composite numbers (84% accuracy) but GPT-4 (June 2023) was poor on these same questions (51% accuracy). This is partly explained by a drop in GPT-4’s amenity to follow chain-of-thought prompting. Interestingly, GPT-3.5 was much better in June than in March in this task. GPT-4 became less willing to answer sensitive questions and opinion survey questions in June than in March. GPT-4 performed better at multi-hop questions in June than in March, while GPT-3.5’s performance dropped on this task. Both GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 had more formatting mistakes in code generation in June than in March. We provide evidence that GPT-4’s ability to follow user instructions has decreased over time, which is one common factor behind the many behavior drifts. Overall, our findings show that the behavior of the “same” LLM service can change substantially in a relatively short amount of time, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring of LLMs.
Later on, Eric Topol had the very interesting conversation with James Zou below which covers many AI aspects including a lot of LLM ones. Basic takeaways for me are that they are good at repeating things from their training data, making them OK on generating text, sort of OK for grammar, but far form OK from reproducing knowledge, and that it will become harder over time to distinguish LLM generated content from human created content.
The video of the conversation is below the blog signature; here is the link: [Wayback/Archive] James Zou: one of the most prolific and creative A.I. researchers in both life science and medicine – YouTube
Almost all LLMs are being trained on a corpus without curation (curation is way too expensive), resulting in them at best averaging the corpus (as in the foundation, LLM is just a “monkey see, monkey do” on steroids but without the means of self-curating to result in above average generation. I think that given more and more on-line content is being and becoming generated by LLM, and newer LLM will be trained based on the corpus encompassing that content (without the means to filter out LLM generated content), over time LLM will perform worse instead of better.
Via he below series of interesting tweets of which were quoted by a slightly less pessimistic Erik Meijer [Wayback/Archive] Erik Meijer on X: “Regression to the mean.“. Nnote some interesting replies as well. I found the one mentioning Eternal September especially fitting. It made me discover [Wayback/Archive] www.eternal-september.org
