So, the web browser that #Cursor supposedly built in a week, is a frankenstein that barely builds and runs even worse. And it relies heavily on Servo and a previously existing custom JS engine. Color me surprised 🤷‍♂️ https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/26/cursor_opinion/

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…)

AI is great, but I don't want a robot writing my life story. I explicitly designed Fediverse Composer Studio to be an *assistant*, not a replacement. It suggests #AltText and tags, but I have the final say. It feels like having a really efficient editor over my shoulder.

"Fabrizio: I think automation engineering is is like an expression… one of the many expressions of systems thinking. Which I believe we brought up in previous podcasts as well. And I think systems thinking is one of the top skills I would probably seek in anybody in the future working with AI. Because it’s really about orchestrating and seeing the big picture and relating systems between each other. Which is something that I don’t expect AI ever to be able to do.

And automation… well you can also… there’s always this thing about the automatons building themselves and I think AI can help you build parts of that automation system. But in the end how you connect the pieces together is entirely up to you. Because that’s that’s ultimately the system you build is an expression is of… and I’m getting philosophical here… of volition. Of something you want to do.

And wanting to do something is purely organic human. Like you want to achieve something that you care about. So yes I think definitely automation as a part of that system thinking definitely. The other I think is communication, you know in all forms. So and I think I was having this conversation with a developer the other day on BlueSky. He writes Python tutorials. And we were agreeing that anybody who has both the technical knowledge and the communication skills is like in the best position going forward in the tech world. Because you will need both. You will need like an understanding of what the tech does but at the same time like a certain command of words.

And I would argue that 60 or 70 percent going forward."

"The model could not account for the interpersonal dynamics. Judgment could.

This is why I doubt that A.I. will soon match human cognition or that the defining skills of the next generation of professionals will be narrowly technological. Technical fluency matters, of course. But in a world of abundant machine intelligence, the most durable advantage will be broad intellectual range.

There is a tendency in higher education and in business to push people toward specialization. A.I. accelerates that pressure. If a machine can do the general work, the conventional wisdom goes, humans should retreat to the specific. I believe the opposite. As routine analysis becomes automated, what distinguishes professionals is the ability to synthesize across domains, to see patterns that specialists miss, to exercise judgment.

Today, when hiring, leaders I know look for what might be called a generalist with judgment, someone analytical and adaptable who is nimble enough to learn skills and become reasonably conversant in new knowledge. The best candidates share a quality no machine can replicate. They think independently, navigate ambiguity without waiting for instruction, analyze the questions that were not asked but should have been and own their decisions. They use A.I. — as a tool but not a crutch."

Encouraging language model to express themselves

https://youtu.be/TgVv97aletc?si=NJuz72zbz07HZh6V&t=821

This is really interesting from Anthropic’s Amanda Askell about how actively encouraging LLMs to express themselves can produce better results. The reason she suggests is that reinforcement learning incentivises a drift to the mean: if you just ask for a poem you’ll get something ‘safe’ and unlikely to be divisive. If you ask for a poem and encourage the model to really express itself deeply and creatively engage with the task you’ll something far more idioysncratic.
