So thankful to the University of Cambridge for enabling a new chapter in the long history of the APU/CBU (since MRC decided to close all its units…)

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

Tried to take advantage of April Fools' Day and draw more attention to my otherwise unspectacular poster. Not sure it worked. Some people genuinely congratulated me. And when I apologised for the joke, they laughed and congratulated me on a good joke. @ismrm.bsky.social #Annapolis ☺️

Happy to have contributed to this multi-site MRS study led by @drkatdyke.bsky.social! We found a minimal impact of the menstrual cycle on GABA and GSH measures. The menstrual cycle should not justify excluding women from MRS research. 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.jn...

Mandatory listening. Peter has a knack for these interviews. And this dropped just a week after Seiji turned 91.

Didn't know about this, not only intellectual but also genetic link between George Boole and Geoffrey E. Hinton. Simon Peyton Jones gave an amazing talk at #DarwinCollege yesterday. Great content, engaging delivery, and he spoke so fast I couldn’t zone out like I often do during talks🙂

I agree with this - Python dependency management truly is a dumpster fire.

Haha, the authors didn't even bother to delete that always-so-positive ChatGPT start of response: "Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic"! 😂

Is it worth paying and upgrading from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4?
