iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Tired of #softwareengineering research with and for AI? Kilian is working to advance our understanding of dependencies in software development and operations, while helping practitioners identify, assess, and govern them. I'm happy to support him on this journey, mostly by trying to stay out of […]

Many prestigious scientific venues have suffered from papers containing hallucinated citations. We can throw tools at the problem (I provide an example) but I think it's more important to fix its root cause. www.spinellis.gr/blog/20260817/?utm…

@CoolSWEng Great post and a very appealing proposal. Yet, my main concern is the infrastructure: any (AI-)generated literature map is only as transparent as its retrieval layer. With Google Scholar, Scopus, or similar platforms (let alone my beloved ACM DL*) […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I have been thinking a lot about how automation complacency translates to the world of software engineering LLM agents. I learned about different concepts and vocabulary. As it was new for me, I wrote up what I learned. Maybe it is helpful for others as well. Feedback appreciated! […]

@stefanwagner @seresearchers Great post! Excellent post! Although I cannot answer your questions directly, I personally think that the future of code review anticipated by practitioners in our recent study [1] will create a perfect fertile ground for disuse, complacency, and miscalibrated trust […]

Peak German university process engineering: The Umlaufzettel is now a PDF. Digital transformation achieved. And I have no idea how to translate or even explain Umlaufzettel in English. At least we Germans are safe from being taken over by AI.

It is 2026, and we still get this criticism in a review: "First and foremost, the contribution is primarily confirmatory […] I would argue that the work is predominantly incremental." Yes. This is called the scientific method. How can we change the strange interpretation of novelty that is in […]

Keeping students engaged during a #kubernetes deep dive is already a challenge. Doing it on one of the hottest days of the year in a lecture room on the top floor (without AC or ventilation, of course) deserves its own certification. Thanks a lot, @schwargeo […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

When people mention "Springer", they can refer to two very different publishers: Springer Nature or Axel Springer SE. Don't confuse them! One does not care about ethical standards, is involved in shady campaigns to exert influence, and employs questionable business practices. The other, of […]

Official petition for the UK to rejoin the EU, open to UK citizens and residents: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74... Takes literally 1 minute, very quick. With changing political climate, worth making your UK voice heard if this is your view. Petition closes June 8th 2026.

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK

We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin ...

Prior belief: I know stuff. After listening to today’s guest lecture on threats to validity in experiments and Bayesian data analysis: posterior updated dramatically. What a pleasure to have my dear roommate Julian Frattini from Chalmers visiting us today ❤️

"…a damning new study could put #AI companies on the defensive. In it, #Stanford and #Yale researchers found compelling evidence that #AImodels are actually copying all that data, not “learning” from it. Specifically, four prominent LLMs — OpenAI’s GPT-4.1, Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, xAI’s Grok 3 […]
