Re: [Emc-developers] [Emc-users] April 2023 LinuxCNC meeting at Tormach headquarters
Would anyone who plans to attend please let me know, so I can get a total of attendees and inform Tormach how big the horde is going to be? Thanks, Jon ___ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers

Tormach is having a meeting with the above mentioned developers from April 24 - 28. Daniel suggests we could have a LinuxCNC meeting from April 22-23 (over the weekend) and then maybe stay just a bit to meet with those others. Sorry it took so long to find out what the dates were.

So when our chatty friend encounters a text that is not continuous wrt the sentences it already knows, like the references to the jitter and the descriptions of limitations, then it will point out that this needs some form of deeper embedding the text to cater for a fluent read. This is all I want, really, for now that is. I also expect that ChatGPT points me to redundancies or that it proposes some reordering, but I have not seen this, yet. There is a side-thought on this. I want our documentation "understood" (are those quotes still needed?) by a linguistically skilled robot. That robot could then help our new users to set their mill up and (e.g. by integrating the forum and I also hope for more YouTube transcripts) also help with error recovery. > Interesting examples: > https://economistwritingeveryday.com/2023/01/21/chatgpt-cites-economics-papers-that-do-not-exist/ Yes, it is a complete utter failure on provenance, i.e. the introspection on where a particular information was found/derived from. But that will come. Best, Steffen ___ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers

[Emc-developers] For 2.10: Suggesting chatGPT checks of our documentation
Hello,
I am admittedly still impressed of the linguistic skills of chatGPT. Also, its
translations seem superior to what Google Translate or DeepL is offering. What
I have toyed around with is to have chatGPT comment on our documentation. It
always praises what we have, that is the boring part. But when asking for
possible improvements, then it goes for
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.9/html/install/latency-test.html like:
"Overall, the documentation provides a clear and comprehensive explanation of
latency and its importance in LinuxCNC. The instructions for running the
latency test and interpreting the results are also detailed and easy to follow.
However, there are a few areas that could be improved:
The introduction could benefit from a brief overview of what LinuxCNC is and
how it works, as this would help newcomers to understand the context of the
latency test.
The section on the disadvantages of software step pulses could be expanded upon
to give more detail on why they are limited in terms of maximum step rate and
pulse jitter.
The instructions for running latency-plot and latency-histogram could be
expanded upon to provide more detail on how to interpret the output.
Including some troubleshooting tips or common issues that may arise during the
latency test would be helpful for users who encounter problems.
Overall, the documentation is of good quality and provides useful information
for novice LinuxCNC users."
My comments on this:
* We do not want to give an overview but a reference to where to find that
overview could be nice, especially since it is likely that the page was found
via Google, so the reader may not have the context.
* Introduction is short as it is all explained elsewhere in the documentation,
but references on why something is limited and what the effect of a jitter is,
would likely boost the confidence of our readers ("thought so").
* We have a problem with decent captions throughout the documentation.
Best,
Steffen
