You'll be working with another reviewer to read and run the code, make sure it fills a basic checklist which usually only takes a few hours, and beyond that whatever youd like to focus on. Both of these are collaborative review processes where the goal is to help these packages be usable, well documented, and maintainable for the overall health of free scientific software.
Its fun, I promise! Happy to answer questions and boosts welcome.
Edit: feel free to volunteer as a reply here, DM me, or commenting on those issues! Anyone is welcome! Some experience with the language required, but other than that I can coach you through the rest.
Looks like a good bit of fun (cellular automata are a recurring love of mine) - we would love to give people who haven't had a chance to review software a go here, but previous reviewers welcome too. You'll be taking on the role of a prospective user and colleague advising and trying to help make a package work as well as it can, reaching some minimum standard via checklist, raising issues and making suggestions as you read and run it.
We will program some bird #automata soon, glad I was able to catch some of the pigeons flying in #murmurations like this on such a lovely morning. Math is everywhere!
#AI#ML#NeuralNetworks#Automata: "The way we understand what artificial intelligence is and how we design it has serious implications for society. Marta Peirano reviews the origins and evolution of AI, and addresses its problems and dangers in this article, taken from the catalogue of the exhibition AI: Artificial Intelligence." https://lab.cccb.org/en/the-double-life-of-artificial-intelligence/
Almost every week now, + despite statements to the contrary, by many #AI#scientists and #programmers, the utopias of #IsaacAsimov and #PhilipKDick (+ others 1)) are making a leap forward.
Due to all the white noise + the hype regarding #AI most of the general public.
