Check your LLM's output carefully. When it's got lots and lots and lots of details -- essentially a wall of keywords and buzz-phrases -- then you're not really telling us what you're present. You're just rehashing all the keywords.

The outline the LLM generates for your presentation should state the actions you will actually take when you actually talk to actual people. It shouldn't be a wall of keywords.

Some kindly advice.

Before you sit down for an in-depth chat with an LLM to use sparkling autocomplete to write your conference talk proposal, do this.

Have your LLM examine the previous five years of the conference agenda. Have the LLM summarize this to see what's been popular in the past. Have the LLM bias your fresh, new idea to blend with previous content and fit the conference focus.

Please check your LLM output.

When the LLM says "show 3-4 examples" please actually figure out if you're going to show 3 or 4 examples, and then, actually include something about the examples.

We don't want an idea of what you **might** present.

We need to know what you **will** present.

I know, I know. You're using an LLM to spam us with talk proposals and you're waaaay too busy to check the output and make sure it's coherent.

It's been a while but the recording of the English version of my talk at @tdose earlier this year is finally online!

It's my first time in English and I had to shorten it in 15 min. You can notice it I fear, at one point I even made a mistake mispronouncing VPN as VPS. I felt so dumb hearing that 😬. Oh dear... Well, gotta start somewhere, in general the story is there and knowledge is shared 😅.

I just learned this week about the Global PyLadies Conference—happening virtually this Fri & Sat Dec 5th and 6th.

And Dawn Wages @BajoranEngineerdawn is one of the keynoters!

And Dingding Lu + Gauri Kasar (who I know from the Postgres team on Azure) are teaching a 1.5 hour workshop titled "Build Agentic AI with Semantic Kernel and Graph RAG on PostgreSQL" (on Sat Dec 6th at 10am PST)

I suppose it's not a surprise to see at a conference!

If you're just learning about this PyLadies conference, check out the schedule! And here is the link to Dingding and Gauri's workshop re Postgres: pretalx.com/pyladiescon-2025/t

My student did a Science!

One week from now, Denisa Arsene will present the her BSc thesis research at the 14th International Conference on Complex Networks and their Applications, held in Binghamton, New York, USA!

More details and preprint: latower.github.io/posts/2025/1

I'm super proud of her, and I'm super happy that I got to do this project with her and two of my former colleagues from Leiden University: Rachel de Jong and Frank Takes!

Poster presenting the highlights of the research in the corresponding paper. Eyecatcher is a big vertical orange banner with the text: 'How to share research-relevant social netowrk data, while preserving privacy? SANA Simulated Annealing for Network Anonymization. Minimal changes. Maximal privacy. Up to 18 times more anonymized nodes. Same speed. Same data utility. It features diagrams that illustrate a type of attack model that is based on characteristics of the direct neighbourhood of nodes. It also has an example plot of how a simulated annealing approach converges to a particular level of anonymity. It then has a bunch of plots that give more details on running time, level of anonymization, and how SANA and the other algorithms perform in terms of data utility. The takeaways are that SANA provides fast and better anonymization and that it scales better with input size than the other algorithms studied here. Next challenges are to tackle multi-objective anonymity and utiliyt, and dynamic (real-time) anonymization.

Yesterday I brought in guest speakers for both my classes and about 1/4 of students showed up in either one.

I'm amazed since as adults they will spend so much time at conferences and events hoping to learn the same stuff from those guests.

Not sure if it is just kids that think coding is the job in my case.

Once again chat, how about you?

대만의 COSCUP, 벨기에의 FOSDEM에 이어, 국내에서도 개인 및 소규모 오픈 소스 프로젝트를 위한 FOSS for All 컨퍼런스가 드디어 열립니다! 🇰🇷

오는 11월 8일(토), 광운대학교에서 개최되며 저도 이번 행사에서 발표자로 참여하게 되었습니다.

🗣️ 발표 주제: “식탁보 프로젝트 다섯돌, 바뀐 것과 바뀌지 않은 것”

식탁보 프로젝트가 세상에 나온 지 벌써 5년이 되었네요. 처음엔 AI가 없던 시대에 시작했지만, 이제는 AI가 세상을 바꾸고 있고, 식탁보도 그 여정 위에 있습니다.

다섯 해 동안의 변화와, 여전히 지켜온 가치들에 대해 진솔하게 이야기 나누려 합니다.

오픈 소스, 기술, 그리고 커뮤니티를 사랑하는 분들이라면 꼭 한 번 참석해보세요!

👉 참가 신청: https://event-us.kr/fossforall/event/110400

현장에서 함께 이야기 나눌 수 있기를 바랍니다. 🙌

It's a bird! It's a spaceship! NO, it's a bird IN a spaceship! 😆

Y'all, I'm legit proud of the programming we put together for Wagtail Space 2025. In a world full of scary headlines and enshittifying tech, I feel truly happy to be lifting up stories of people using to help others and build valuable things for their communities.

If that's a vibe you're into, join us! Tickets are free and you can get yours right here: events.zoom.us/ev/AtWesoZI_eMU
