- 3 new macOS runners added to the CI
- Note: e-mail received regarding the difference in the colors (completed, WIP, not started) seen in for the tasks in the Plan of Work 2022.
Concluding that some tasks require a lot of effort and that granularity (maybe) should be at the level of sub-task.
- Lorenzo: nothing special to mention.
- I/O: Philippe: most notable remark is that we have to include RNTuple summary in the LHCC report in a week now.
- TMVA/Roofit: ??
- LIM: Bertrand: there's an issue with ATLAS xAOD. Also mentioned an issue with the JIT & PowerPC (maybe JitLink-related)
- Olivier: ChatGPT helpful but not really confident about just copy-pasting the generated replies.
- Bertrand: tried, not only with ROOT, but also with Geant4. At least for ROOT, it was producing code that is not completely correct (e.g. missing headers).
- Olivier: Yes, code has to be checked.
- Jakob: I don't think it will reflect well on the ROOT team if we just paste ChatGPT answers.
- Enrico: the point is whether we can use it to save shifter's time, but the kind of questions that ChatGPT can reply is not what steals most of the shifter's time.
- Vassil: it can be helpful, providing suggestions combining different knowledge, but if I had to put my name in all of the answers, I would say no.
- Enrico: we might want to keep an eye on how ChatGPT evolves.
- Vassil: Yes, I'm sorry but it can actually write a better paper abstract than I do, so it's still interesting for some purposes.
Verdict: for now the general perception is that we should use it as a toy, but we keep an eye on how the technology evolves.
[weekly report by each member of the team]
- Enrico will present his end-of-fellowship report next week in the SFT weekly meeting; however, some of us may not be able to attend due to the EP R&D day.
- Enrico: somebody will have to take over the Docker builds (!)
