Way back in 2010, when I was young and stupid, I wrote as follows in my History Of Sauropod Studies book-chapter (Taylor 2010:368–370): Ballou (1897) included, as one of his six figures, the first published life restoration of a sauropod, executed by Knight under the direction of Cope (Fig.
Es ist erstaunlich, wie schnell die Zeit vergeht – seit der Veröffentlichung der neuesten DINI-Thesen sind fast anderthalb Jahre vergangen. Vieles hat sich seitdem verändert und weiterentwickelt.

Since helping with the OxCaml tutorial last year at ICFP, I've been chomping at the bit to use it for real in our research infrastructure for planetary computing to manage the petabytes of TESSERA embeddings we've been generating. The reason for my eagerness is that OxCaml has a number of language extensions that give giant leaps in performance for systems-oriented programs, while retaining the familiar OCaml functional style of programming.
AI search tools aren't "agreeing" with users—they are retrieval systems. Confusing the two is a category error that obscures the real risks.
A preprint reporting results from an experiment conducted by Anthropic on the impact of AI assistance on coding skills is making the rounds. The Anthropic website writes: “participants in the AI group finished about two minutes faster, although the difference was not statistically significant.
