Weeknotes: 18 March to 22 March 2024
Running experiments in the console, TypeScript compilation, updating dependencies, generative AI in sign language, and human capital
Sandra's Weeknotes
What I have found gripping
Using the console to run to run functions in JavaScript before noticing differences between what might be written in a code editor and what is allowed in a REPL (Read, Evaluate, Print, Loop)
Typing tsc in a terminal followed by sample.ts compiles the file and will generate a sample.js one
Running a node command like node sample.js will output results from the code in the file e.g. Hello, world!
Updating dependencies can sometimes mean manually changing their version before installing them instead of relying on a command designed for that purpose
What I have read
Modules - Theory, TypeScriptlang.org
Apprendre la langue des signes grâce à l'IA générative et aux avatars en 3D, Sylvie Gibet (Professeure des universités en informatique, Université Bretagne Sud)
Want More Clarity on Generative AI? Experiment Widely, Lynda Gratton
What I have watched
What AI Means for Human Capital, Lynda Gratton and Elizabeth Heichler
Featured quote
The human capital domain with the greatest reported use of generative AI right now is “internal knowledge management.” Forty-six percent of attendees said they are experimenting in this sphere, with use cases such as creating communications, conducting market research analysis, finding resources and competencies, and engaging in employee listening. — Lynda Gratton
