Installing
The last couple of days, the main focus of our C-LARA activities has been concentrated on getting things installed on the new UniSA server. When we have this working, C-LARA should be a great deal faster than it is on Heroku, since we won’t have to depend on the slow Amazon S3 file storage. The… Continue reading

Teamwork
Last night, I had a joint debugging session with ChatGPT-4 which provided an excellent example of how to collaborate productively with an AI. We are currently implementing support for a new C-LARA feature which will allow people to designate mouse-sensitive areas in images so that each area is associated with a phrase, and appropriate things… Continue reading

Members of the project who are sensitive to these matters (you know who you are) have not been slow to point out that the prototype looks really ugly. I agree with the critics, they are right.
