Not necessarily outside my area of expertise, but a big uptick nonetheless. A double-digit number of requests in my inbox after returning from vacation. And all from reputable journals.

It would only be consistent to rename all the lakes in the USA "Lake America."

Andreas Steinmayr @andreassteinmayr.net · 25/08/2026

Why not change the name of every lake in the U.S. to Lake America?

But you have to be prepared not only for someone in the audience interrupting you with a question that is more of a comment. You also have someone in the basement watching your talk in slow motion jumping right back to your critical assumptions when you have already moved to results.

And cleverly built to be almost un-leavable. Any single association that walks away loses tournament access (both national team and clubs) and funding, so nobody defects first.

Die weiteren Datenpunkte werden sehr interessant. Aus meiner Sicht ergab sich die echte Revolution bezüglich der Möglichkeiten, Aufgaben an LLMs auszulagern, erst durch die Agenten. Und die verbreiten sich erst seit ein paar Monaten schnell.

Zum Thema gab es gestern auch einen Artikel in der NYT, aber mit einem etwas anderen Grundtenor: There are reasons to believe the record-low U.S. birthrate could be only temporary as today’s young women postpone pregnancy. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

Hier sprichst du genau den zentralen Denkfehler an. Die Frage sollte nicht lauten: „Was bringt Latein?“, sondern vielmehr: „Was bringt Latein im Vergleich zu einer alternativen Verwendung der zur Verfügung stehenden Schulstunden?“

👇 This is how many academics (especially as referees) read papers. So it’s worth keeping in mind when writing research articles. The key is to earn the reader’s attention after the abstract and intro and make them want to go deeper.

Ist das ein Zurückrudern? Von „I don’t rule out military force“ zu „we will tariff you“ zu „we will remember“.

This is basically giving all countries a strong incentive to acquire nuclear weapons. The US is turning its long-standing policy of limiting nuclear proliferation upside down.

Ethical collapse, yes. But it’s not she who was debased. By making this gesture for the good of her country (even if it might not change anything), she elevated herself and made him look astonishingly small and pitiful at the same time.

Americans can’t agree on anything these days — not even the fundamentals of civilization. Half the country thinks pineapple belongs on pizza. 😵‍💫

There is definitely still room for improvement and I tweak my instructions constantly. But explicitly telling ChatGPT to cut the BS makes a big difference.

Andreas Steinmayr @andreassteinmayr.net · 13/10/2025

Glücklicherweise lässt sich dieses Verhalten von LLMs weitgehend abstellen, indem man entsprechende Instruktionen gibt. Folgende Systemanweisungen machen ChatGPT als nüchternes Werkzeug für mich deutlich nützlicher.

Faszinierend, wie sich die Namensvielfalt gesteigert hat - vor allem bei den Buben. 1984 (fast mein Geburtsjahr) hatten fast 50% der Buben einen Namen aus den Top-10. Heute machen die Top-10 nur mehr knapp 15% aus. Andreas war in den 80ern natürlich ganz vorne dabei 😄.
