Today in grading undergraduate writing assignments;
"the journal name is real, the title is the real name of an article, the DOI is real, the authors are real… but nothing matches. For example, the DOI is not from the same article as the journal name, or title, or authors. Same with all other elements of the citation.
I think this is likely a Claude hallucination (rather than Chat GPT); Claude is known for doing a better job at pulling real citations or pulling real information to create a fake citation. "
So we assigned students a straightforward writing assignment; pick one of five proposed policy changes and write 500 words in support or in opposition to it. Two or three citations were required. No ChatGPT without sharing your original 500 words, your AI prompt , the resulting AI output and your final revision. 90% awesome, reasonable arguments for and against and then 10% that were essentially perfect.
We went into the citations via PubMed and other sources and found the above. So, obviously 10 points for that section and we indicated that we'd carefully evaluate all future work from the students with hallucinations, any further indication of AI use outside the syllabus will be zero on the assignment and a referral to student affairs for cheating.
So does anyone have any idea why these citations are f-ed up in this reproducibly awful way? Like, what is Claude doing wrong, exactly? It's like Claude is ALMOST identifying relevant work but it can't quite produce actual citations, just things that look like citations. It's like they missed the step where you actually have to READ THE DAMN PAPER YOU WANT TO CITE. Which it could do of course, it could ingest the whole paper, summarize it, simply pattern match versus the students writing and insert a valid doi link. Why is it making this specific error? Anyone?

@tinturadiodio @oblomov @Azalais maledetti boomer che hanno modo di andare in pensione alle spalle nostre! :D
però le cose fatte coi filati sottili sono più belle!
per carità, per qualche cosa specifica a volte anche i filati grossi hanno il loro perché, ma per la maggior parte dei capi d'abbigliamento (maglioni, calze, ecc.) col filato sottile vengono meglio!
(non so se dirti del posto dove abbiamo trovato dei filati deadstock che in teoria sono da macchina, e quindi sono più sottili della maggior parte dei lace weight)

@Gina We are located in Nothern Germany near #Eckernförde, so weather-wise not an improvement compared to #TheHague. But dependent on or place of living hiring for 100% remote is possible, too. Feel free to send a CV or similar.

@oblomov @Azalais @tinturadiodio (lo schema che ha usato arriva da priorattire.co.uk/ourshop/prod… , non so se lo si possa comprare da qualche parte anche da solo)
(edit: avevo sbagliato il volume del libro)

@GustavinoBevilacqua @Dunpiteog kiwi cotti? cos?

@oblomov @valhalla @Azalais io penso che se non dovessi lavorare (chevvitademmerda) potrei essere in grado anche io. Unico problema, ho cominciato a scegliere filati sempre più sottili, e così non tutto diventa infinitamente più lungo. Comunque WOW

ecco, mia madre invece non è umana. ad un certo punto le ho chiesto se mi faceva questo:
che è un modello degli anni 90 abbastanza famoso (nella sua nicchia): metmuseum.org/art/collection/s…
e come si può notare ha delle maniche che sono uno sproposito.
me l'ha fatto. in. un. mese.
(e sì, aveva abbondante tempo se non proprio libero almeno in cui le mani erano libere di sferruzzare, e ha imparato a lavorare velocemente quando ha fatto un periodo facendo maglioni per un negozio)
(ma rimango dell'idea che sia sovraumana)

Magazine Transistor Tester Lives Again
One of the lost pleasures of our modern world is the experience of going shopping at a grocery store, a mall, or a drugstore, and finding this month’s electronics magazine festooned with projects that you might like to build. Sure, you can find anything on the Internet, but there’s something to be said about the element of surprise. Can any of those old projects still be of interest?
[Bettina Neumryr] thinks so. She has a hobby of finding old magazine projects and building them. Her most recent installment is a transistor tester from the June 1983 issue of Everyday Electronics.
The tester was quite a neat job for 1983, with a neat case and a PC board. It measures beta and leakage. There’s an analog meter that can measure the collector current for a fixed base current (beta or hfe). Leakage is how much current flows between emitter and collector with the base turned off.
In 1983, we’d have loved to have a laser printer to do toner transfer for the PC board, but of course, that was unheard of in hobby circles of the day. The tester seemed to work right off the bat, although there was a small adjustment necessary to calibrate the device. All that was left was to put it in a period-appropriate box with some printed labels.
We loved the old electronics and computer magazines. Usually, when we see someone working on an old magazine project, it is probably not quite a literal copy of it. But either way is cool.
