The Next Semester
There’s just a week to go before the next Semester at Maynooth University so I’ve been looking at my calendar for the weeks ahead. Actually, I won’t start teaching again until Tuesday 3rd February, because Monday 2nd February is a national holiday. As it turns out, however, I don’t have any lectures, labs or tutorials on Mondays anyway so I won’t be missing a session either on February 2nd or on May 4th, another holiday. I will have to miss one on Friday 3rd April (Good Friday), though.
The Timetable has given me two 9 o’clock lectures a week for the forthcoming Semester, one on Tuesdays and the other on Thursdays. I don’t think the students like 9am lectures very much, but I don’t mind them at all. I find it quite agreeable to have accomplished something concrete by 10am, which I don’t always do. This schedule might mean that I defer publishing papers at the Open Journal of Astrophysics on those days. I usually do this before breakfast, but I might not have time if I have to be on campus and ready to teach for 9am.
As usual, Semester 2 is a stop-start affair. We have six weeks until the Study Break, which includes the St Patrick’s Day holiday, then we’re back for two weeks (minus Good Friday) before another week off for Easter. We return on Monday April 13th to complete the Semester; the last lectures are on Friday 8th May and exams start a week later. This arrangement creates no problems for lecture-based teaching, but it takes some planning to organize labs and project deadlines around the breaks. I’ll have to think about that for my Computational Physics module.
A more serious issue for Computational Physics is how to deal with the use of Generative AI. I’ve written about this before, in general terms, but now it’s time to write down some specific rules for a specific module. A default position favoured by some in the Department is that students should not use GenAI at all. I think that would be silly. Graduates will definitely be using CoPilot or equivalent if they write code in the world outside university so we should teach them how to use it properly and effectively.
In particular, such methods usually produce a plausible answer, but how can a student be sure it is correct? It seems to me that we should place an emphasis on what steps a student has taken to check an answer, which of course they should do whether they used GenAI or did it themselves. If it’s a piece of code to do a numerical integration of a differential equation, for example, the student should test it using known analytic solutions to check it gets them right. If it’s the answer to a mathematical problem, one can check whether it does indeed solve the original equation (with the appropriate boundary conditions).
If anyone out there reading this blog has any advice to share, or even a link to their own Department’s policy on the use of GenAI in computational physics for me to copy adapt for use in Maynooth, I’d be very grateful!
(My backup plan is to ask ChatGPT to generate an appropriate policy…)

Copilot is so deeply integrated into Microsoft Office now (which has been rebranded to to Copilot btw.) that in order to create Powerpoint slides it needs me to run a powershell script it spat out on a Windows machines with Powershell and Powerpoint installed.
Ridiculous doesn't even closely describes this....
Ich habe ein kleines Hobby-Software-Projekt angefangen und #ChatGPT und GitHub #Copilot liefern mir ganz viel Code, der den Plan umsetzen soll ... aber irgendwie ergibt das so keinen Sinn.
Ja, wahrscheinlich kann ich auf diesem Weg relativ einfach zu dem Ergebnis kommen, das ich mir wünsche. Aber dann kann ich am Ende immer noch nicht viel besser #Python als jetzt und habe Code, den ich nicht pflegen kann, weil ich ihn nicht verstehe. Das kann wohl nicht Sinn der Sache sein.
This is just a quick note to myself and to fellow people who may encounter this issue.
If you use a node version manager such as nvm/asdf/mise, you may have a situation where you need a given version to work with a project, but that version is too old to support Copilot.
This shows up as an error in Vim
Copilot: Node.js too old. Upgrade to 22.x or newer
Or, if you switch while Vim is […]

Even though I still consider #vibe coding to be a Potemkin village, the AI support for programming is really great. #CoPilot for small projects, like code completion on steroids. And #Perplexity as a search engine. It saved me a lot of time because the documentation of @excalidraw is complete garbage.
Browsing just got smarter. Microsoft launched "Copilot Mode" in Edge, making the browser a dynamic companion that reasons across tabs. It's a step toward making the browser your AI hub.

I have to admit: after spending several weeks with #Antigravity, having to use #Copilot in #IntelliJ now feels like a huge step back.
I fully understand that Antigravity does not comply with common enterprise security policies (yet). Banning tools is easy. Governing them is hard.
These tools won’t go away. We need to learn how to use them securely. ☝🏻🔐👮🏻♂️
Curious to hear your experience:
How is agentic coding handled in your organization right now?

Je pense que si nous arrêtions de les appeler « intelligences artificielles » pour « traitements statistiques de la langue », cela redistribuerait les cartes. #ia #ai #ChatGPT #copilot #Statistics #MachineLearning https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2026/01/25/entre-grokipedia-et-wikipedia-il-s-agit-de-determiner-quelles-conceptions-du-savoir-nous-souhaitons-defendre_6664020_3232.html
My perspective, #Microsoft ?
Most AI is #art theft.
Your desire to fire Three Mile back up just to push your POS #Copilot into every app and every web page will be your downfall when #Europe gets their act together and cuts off a significant part of your revenue.
Il progetto Gentoo valuta di migrare i propri mirror da GitHub, stanco di sentirsi forzare all’uso di Copilot
Sebbene il progetto #gentoo continuerà ad ospitare il codice sui propri server, per quanto riguarda invece i mirror, le continue ingerenze di #microsoft #github nel cercare di inserire #copilot all’interno dei repository verosimilmente porteranno alla drastica decisione di migrare il codice sorgente alla piattaforma Codeberg. #codeberg
When we first started working together, the tone was sharp.
Short‑tempered.
Suspicious.

Wenn ich eine neue Idee für einen #workflow oder eine #Digitalisierung habe, "frage" ich #chatgpt
Nicht das er mir das fix und fertig liefert, sondern nach Alternativen, kritischen Punkten, vergleiche etc.
Das ist mein first Level Coach. Die Anweisungen sind dass es sehr k.i.s.s. sein soll.
Als nebenbeientwickler übertreibe ich es am anfang oft mit der Funktionalität.
#copilot #Microsoft #llm
Bei der #workflow Programmierung mit #Powerautomate ist die integrierte #copilot Funktion hilfreich.
Abgesehen davon das Formeln korrigiert werden, kann die 'Funktion' auch beschrieben werden.
Dies erspart Zeit, wenn man weiß was sie macht, der Syntax ist leider etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, d.h. man muss die Eigenheiten der Funktionen auch kennen.
Es ist eine Erleichterung.
#Microsoft #llm
Using Teams' automatic #transcription combined with #Copilot 's auto-summaries to collect action points and meeting summaries is like throwing everything away.
Unfortunately, more and more #projectmanagers are using it instead of paying attention to what is being said.
