The 57th edition of the school is in session! This year's principal organizer Stefan Dittmaier greets the students and lays down the law, while Markus Klute checks that everything is correct.

The Whizard paper reaches 1000 citations on @inspirehep.net🍾🥂. That's the first of my papers with less than 10 authors reaching this milestone.
Whizard at 1000!

This is exactly right, and students are often surprised to hear it. It’s one of the first things I explain in the “Should I use LLMs?” portion of my syllabus.
It reads “But that's not the only problem. Interactions with LLMs feel like a dialog, so it's natural to think the usual rules of conversation apply. You ask a question and expect the response will be an answer to that question. It's important to understand that this is not what's happening. An LLM is designed to generate statistically likely responses to the question "What would an answer to this query sound like?" This is not the same thing as answering the question. It might produce what you are looking for, or it might not. This is one reason why output from an LLM will sound authoritative even when it's wrong, and apologetic when mistakes are pointed out. It isn't authoritative or apologetic, and it isn't "thinking" about the question. These are just the sorts of responses that best fit a very complicated set of likelihood criteria.”

Unfortunately, we have to strike from the record Carlos' advice to students: "Do not to listen to your advisers!". That's heresy😉

Tip for PhD applicants reaching out to prospective advisors: Don’t use an LLM to write these emails. It’s not a great first impression to express your admiration for a recent paper the faculty member published if that paper does not exist.

TLDR: we want somebody who has previously calculated a loop diagram and has squared a scattering amplitude. Appointment is either immediately W3 (aka full professor) or tenure track from W2 to W3, depending on the successful applicant's seniority. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcW3...
