Threads profile for Darrell Ulm

I've recently taken the step of joining 

Threads, Computer Science, Computing: Darrell Ulm (https://www.threads.com/@darrell_r_ulm ),  

as I embark on a journey to relearn and expand my existing knowledge in areas like artificial intelligence. My current focus involves delving deeper into the intricacies of AI, particularly exploring the fascinating world of Large Language Models (LLMs) and understanding how these sophisticated models are developed and utilized. I'm also revisiting the fundamentals of Neural Networks, the core building blocks that enable AI systems to learn and make predictions. Given the computational demands of these fields, I'm also keen on extending the principles and applications I previously learned in parallel processing, which plays a crucial role in efficiently handling the complex computations involved in AI.

Drupal 7 EOL and how long will Drupal 9 be Supported

How long will Drupal 9 be supported.  Currently, it is 2023. This is a crucial question for Drupal site owners and builders. While that may seem like a long time away, upgrading from Drupal 8 to 9 is relatively easy compared to previous upgrades from Drupal 5 to 6 and 6 to Drupal 7.

Where does this leave the Drupal 7 sites that still need to be upgraded to Drupal 9? The year is 2022, and Drupal 7 continues to be supported for a bit longer to help developers and owners with the upgrade process.

Drupal 8 and 9 have really come into their own in recent years. Drupal 8 offered significant enhancements compared to Drupal 7, and the contributed modules are looking promising for the future of Drupal.

 

Modules Available for Drupal 9

Drupal 9 is here, and there are already some useful modules available for the newest stable version.Currently, for Drupal 9, there is Admin Toolbar, Redirect, Paragraphs, Metatag, Simple XML Sitemap, Field Group, Ctools, Entity Browser, Embed, Webform, Entity API, IMCE, Google Analytics, External Links, XML Sitemap, Focal Point, Acquia Connector, and the list appears to be growing. When searching for modules using the "Stable Release" filter, it seems that Drupal 9 is indeed forward compatible with Drupal 8!

ResearcherID for Darrell Ulm Site

Okay, so I was checking out this website, ResearcherID, and I created this page for Darrell Ulm: http://www.researcherid.com/rid/Y-5083-2018. It seems like another really useful site for listing research work, much like ORCID, which you can see here for Darrell Ulm as well: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0513-0416 . I'm still trying to fully understand the nuances between ResearcherID and ORCID, as they appear to be quite similar in their aim – providing a unique identifier for researchers and their publications. However, looking at Darrell Ulm's ResearcherID page, it seems to have some interesting connections to other resources, specifically mentioning reviewing efforts. It's fascinating to see how these platforms are interconnected and how they contribute to the broader ecosystem of scholarly communication and recognition. I need to explore further how these different systems integrate and what unique benefits each offers to researchers like Darrell. It’s all part of navigating the evolving landscape of research visibility.
