A photo of my copy of the book. The cover depicts a red flag and the title of the book.

A screenshot of me commenting on the video about why git and GitHub both have flaws and instead recommending Tangled
Artist's impression of Gaia. It's silver and like a top hat.
Gaia image of the sky. The Milky Way is a clear band across the center. Huge clouds of dust in our galaxy form black streaks. The center of the image looks towards the center of our galaxy, within which a supermassive black hole hides. The Milky Clouds - two famous small galaxies that orbit our own - are also visible in the bottom-right. Credits: ESA/Gaia/DPAC, A. Moitinho / A. F. Silva / M. Barros / C. Barata, University of Lisbon, Portugal; H. Savietto, Fork Research, Portugal.
Their Figure 4, with caption: density maps of the NN Bridge sample, plotted on two dimensional histograms of the Gaia DR3 sample in the region. The top (bottom) plot is in the LMC (SMC) orthographic reference frame, and shows the NN Bridge sample’s proper motions with respect to the LMC (SMC) systemic motion with white arrows, while the motion of the SMC (LMC) is indicated with the black arrow.
Screenshot of a BBC News headline that reads "King to defend 'democratic values' as US state visit begins"
Penultimate paragraph of the linked blog, which reads: In general, I like to think that I can trust my colleagues, and should therefore extend this trust to encom- pass their use of LLMs. On the other hand, I am currently privileged to be working at one of the best seats of learning in the world, where I am surrounded by talented individuals who give careful thought to all that they do. Is it fair to extrapolate my faith in their actions to the global population in current higher education? I also have no contact with undergraduates, and little experience of teaching. I cannot judge how LLM use will affect this sphere; but the centring of critical thinking in the curriculum would seem to be crucial.
Screenshot of my title slide - "From the bronze age to today - What star clusters have taught us about the Universe"

prompt: who is andrew hunt answer: There are several people named Andrew (or Andy) Hunt. In the astronomy context you were asking about, it most likely refers to: Andrew Hunt An astronomer who has worked on: Open cluster membership determination Stellar populations Infrared excess and debris disk studies Kepler field stellar analysis He has collaborated with researchers such as Sabine Reffert on statistical methods for identifying cluster members and studying circumstellar disks.
Prompt to ChatGPT of "what algorithm did hunt and reffert use to detect clusters". The returned answer is completely wrong
A screenshot of prompting chatgpt with "how many new clusters were detected by hunt and reffert". It invents a first author for a paper that doesn't exist and returns a wrong answer (five) instead of ~2300.
A screenshot of "Google Play Help". It says that you can cancel a subscription using their "self-help flow".
A photo of a Lindt easter chocolate display in a supermarket in Austria. The picture was taken today (30th January!!!!)
