A transcedental dance with twists and turns. How we used LLMs to prove a really awesome mathematical result, and how the LLMs then pointed out that the work had already been done, and better :-)

26 participants, 17 new modules...the JASP hackathon was a success and we're looking into making it an annual event!
Now out: JASP 0.96!
The major innovation is an online module library (inspired by CRAN for R). Not only does this make it easier for external contributors to add their own JASP modules, but users can take advantage of updated modules without having to wait for a new JASP version. This functionality was added in collaboration with the Netherlands eScience Center

Ten new JASP modules -- or perhaps more?
The JASP Hackathon will take place Feb 16-17 at the eScience center in Amsterdam.
This is our last call for applications. Teams are welcome; support to offset travel costs is available.
