Does anyone know how to find which apps in Mac was responsible for the last chime? Being the end of the year, and having to communicate to many teams, I have too many apps open at this time, and all the chimes sound exactly alike. #MacOS

SAPLING Francois Gauthier from Oracle Labs is talking about /Runtime and Software Supply Chain Security Research at Oracle Labs/ called RASPunzel. This is of a huge interest to me as my student worked on a related project called Macaron from Oracle Labs. #SAPLING #SAPLING23

SAPLING also has Software Testing! Yanqi Su (ANU) is now talking about /Constructing a System Knowledge Graph of User Tasks and Failures from Bug Reports to Support Soap Opera Testing/ #SAPLING23 #SAPLING

For those who are attending SAPLING I am giving a talk today called "Dancing to Unknown Music: Learning Black-Box Program Input Grammars with Prefix Queries". See you there.

Running LLMs from a single file! With LLamaFile from Mozilla. All you need is 

curl -LO https://huggingface.co/jartine/llava-v1.5-7B-GGUF/resolve/main/llamafile-server-0.1-llava-v1.5-7b-q4
chmod 755 llamafile-server-0.1-llava-v1.5-7b-q4
./llamafile-server-0.1-llava-v1.5-7b-q4

Now, I am waiting for an easy way to finetune an LLM from a Mac (this is mostly doable now) or using a CPU, and we will soon be within reach of the world of custom agents promised by @cstross

A great survey about use of large language models in software engineering from Fan et al. here.
