  6. A quotation from Shakespeare

    ARIEL: All hail, great master! Grave sir, hail! I come
       To answer thy best pleasure. Be ’t to fly,
       To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride
       On the curled clouds, to thy strong bidding task
       Ariel and all his quality.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Tempest, Act 1, sc. 2, l. 224ff (1.2.224-228) (1611)

  8. I detest today's "AI" / LLMs [1] for many reasons, primarily ethical and moral. At the same time, I am fascinated by the misuse of said generative LLMs.

    In particular, I have seen a number of essays recently describing people misusing LLM output or relying on the LLM to produce most or all of an #assignment of some sort - even when they know they mustn't use the LLM in this fashion.

    Most of these have been in the context of #student use of LLMs to write assignments, even when they have been warned not to. One particularly egregious example was described by a university #professor, where he created an assignment in which it was easy to tell if the submitted work had been created with an LLM or not. A majority of the students - I don't recall the exact proportion, but it was something like 75%, a supermajority - used LLM. He discussed this with the class, and had those who had generated the assignment with LLM write a short essay (or apologia) -- and then found that something like half of them had used LLM to do *that* assigned work.

    Some professors have described their students as having their #thinking, #language, and #analysis #skills atrophy to the point of inability to do even basic work. It seems to me that it is like #addiction, in that they keep doing it despite knowing it is (a) forbidden, (b) easily detected, and (c) self-destructive.

    [1] LLMs are in no way Artificial Intelligence. Calling them "AI" is a category error.

  9. I do really think that the use of #ChatGPT and #genAI by students highlights the fundamental flaw of our #education system focusing almost entirely on grades and test scores rather than generating curiosity and inquiry, which produces individuals who fundamentally do not understand that the #purpose of an #assignment is meant to be to #learn *how* to do something, not simply to produce a #product you can turn in to get an A+

  13. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.

  15. A quotation from Fuller, Thomas (1654):

    «
    Let the Care of one’s Business be committed but to one Person; for otherwise, besides Disagreement which may arise when Account is taken, everyone’s Answer is, That he thought others had done it.

  16. #Movies #TransGender

    Ok, I'll admit it, I've got a huge crush on #MichelleRodriguez and just love her off-beat #Trans movie -- the #Assignment -- where I get to see her #tits but also see her & #SigourneyWeaver suspend disbelief to pull of this really weird movie.

    If you've never seen it, it's available to stream on #Freevee for free but I'm so addicted to the movie, I'd got it on #DVD. LOL!! 😉

    I've finally uploaded the last summer assignment five days before the fall school year starts. Yay!

  18. AI Generated Moodle Code

    I have been working on a plugin to add Assisted feedback to the module. I had the skeleton and created a textarea for adding the prompt.

    I was about to create an upload dialog for files with a prompt when I thought, perhaps an , could to do that using the Continue plugin for ( without the telemetry). It turns out you can, as illustrated in the attached animation. It is using via Groq.

  19. I am the creator and maintainer of the advanced grading report for the module (think rubrics)

    I was delighted and flattered to recently receive a code contribution that added a new setting to control how part of the output is displayed. Receiving code contributions from other people is one of the great delights of developing free software.

  20. How The Transform Element Saves You Loops

    Salesforce Flow Transform Element allows you to reshape data on the fly within your flow. Think of it as a tool that acts like a data transformer that adjusts, formats, and cleans up your data before it moves to the next step in your process. Transform Element gives you the superpower of applying formulas, performing calculations, or converting data into a different format that your flow or subsequent actions require.

    With the Winter ’25 release, the transform element now supports primitive data types as well. This means you can start with a record collection, transform data, and update a text or a number collection.

    The new functionality opens up a whole new area of applications for the transform element. First and foremost, you no longer need to loop each record in a record collection to extract just one field value.

    Let’s say you want to update multiple records in one update element. Salesforce introduced the IN operator that you can use to specify which records will be updated. The use of the IN operator is very powerful, but it accepts a text collection of record Ids. And up until Winter ’25, the only way to populate this text collection from a record collection was by looping. Loops are no longer required.

    Another helpful feature you can use is the “Add” operator in the assignment element. With “Add,” you can combine one text collection with another, allowing you to accumulate multiple text collections into one.

    A Screen Flow Example

    Let’s say you want to use the data table to allow the users to select multiple accounts for which they want to close all the open cases. You want to let them pick from the data table in multiple steps, adding all selected accounts to a single list of selected accounts. Once done and confirmed, you will close all open cases for all selected accounts in one shot.

    Transform Instead Of Loop

    Before Winter ’25, this solution required either looping or multiple update executions. With the new transform element, you can complete the whole operation in two SOQLs and one DML without looping.

    Let’s Build This Flow Together:

    1. Start your screen flow.

    2. Add a get to retrieve all the Accounts in your Org (For this example, I assumed there are less than 50K Accounts in the Org. Also bear in mind the data table limitations.)

    3. Add a screen to show the Accounts to the user. Allow multi-selection and activate the search box.

    4. Add a transform element and transform the selected records in the record variable to a text variable of Account Ids.

    5. Add this text collection to another text collection you created that accumulates the final list of Accounts.

    6. Add a screen with a toggle component that asks the user whether they finished selecting.

    7. If the user hasn’t finished, send them back to the first screen. If they’re done, move on to the next step.

    8. Get all Accounts where the Id is IN the text collection.

    9. Show the user the final read-only data table of selected accounts. If they are OK, let them proceed to case closure by clicking next.

    10. Add an Update element to close all cases where AccountId is IN the text collection.

    11. Add a success screen to confirm the transaction has been completed.

    Conclusion

    You have successfully created a very efficient iterative UI experience. This method efficiently minimizes resource usage against Salesforce’s governor limits, making it ideal for record-triggered flows – as well as screen flows – where efficiency is crucial. Additionally, you can apply this approach to a list of cases to accumulate related recordIds without looping, such as with Contacts and Accounts.

  21. Fuck your #assignment. The Democratic party fights against #RankedChoiceVoting everywhere to serve its own interests, disregarding those of the public interest. You get my vote when I determine that based on the most likely possible outcomes, it's strategically advantageous for me to vote for someone of that party. That's all. It's unamerican imo to ask anyone to STFU about what we like and dislike about any set of candidates. #uspol #LiberalValues

  22. My current #Assignment is in a #Factory that is utilizing big #Glass slabs, and — as always — they offered me a #Position there. It isn't that far away from #Home, and the colleagues are nice and all.
    But there's one #Downside to it:
    If I really want to understand WTF they are really doing — besides the usual stuff I already have #Experience in — I need to go to university at least one semester...

  23. So it suddenly occurs to me that I have a pending #assignment on by Operating Systems course. The assignment seems to be trivial: it is to create a bootloader which prints 'Hello World' on the console. Thought it would be interesting to understand this with some help from my mastodon folks 😄
