Building effective LLM-based applications with Semantic Kernel Learn to build production-ready applications with Large Language Models using C# and Semantic Kernel. A practical guide with proven patterns and real examples.

🧪 Think you can test LLM applications the same way you test regular code?

Here's the brutal truth: LLMs give you different responses every time you call them. You can't test for specific outputs like traditional software.

Yes! We need more harmless products with ominous branding. A cookie store with the tagline "conquer and crumble all"

Happy to report the goose is strong af and will hold your tools as well!

I wish a very happy “fuck you” to everyone who thought throwing trans people under the bus was going to stop these lunatics

Their goal has *always* been the eradication of the entire LGBTQ+ community, and they’re not gonna stop at Obergefell either

This is why we fight for *everyone*

This is one of the best pieces I've read about AI. It covers many aspects of LLMs and why they're problematic. I can't recommend reading if enough.

If you're very well read in the area of AI criticism this may be all territory you're familiar with, but I expect a lot of folks can learn from it.

Oh this is super interesting! I'm a fan of Liquid but got too annoyed with its limitations in the past.

Astro is great, but I don't always want to write pure JS components for a static site.

I’ve really been enjoying using Vento which @11ty.dev can support.

I think if you mute the term nytimes.com it will do that

I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠

I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it!

Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them.

My personal experience with online safety was my school installing strict internet controls to Protect The Kids™, so I joined a hacking forum to learn bypasses. The users also taught me how to import drugs via the dark web. Then I got arrested by the FBI for computer hacking. It was all very safe.

*Tech friends*! If any of you are looking for new roles, and we know each other, a person I know is hiring:
• a senior DevRel that is US-based
• a mobile DX Engineer that is EU-based

DM ME (here, there, anywhere) and I'd be happy to put you in touch

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc.

I've noticed that the inline copilot chat really doesn't work for larger or complex changes -- basically I only use it for a small change in the few specific lines I've selected.

while the current official number is hotly debated, there are actually far more tags in HTML than the ~150 commonly cited! that number merely represents the ones we’ve discovered and domesticated — there are potentially thousands more in the creeping unexplored corners of the deep web & dark net

"..and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.'"

Yes! I think writing and understanding Regex and CSS make use of the same brain areas, both being selector-driven languages.

Also loved doing both from early in my career, even when I was really far from "actual programming".

This much research about dashes and hyphens... Katie are you an AI bot? 🤖

Ozzy Osbourne visited my magic shop. He said he'd like to buy some stink bombs. How many? All of them. I had to go through drawers finding every last one. He bought 900 of them. To sign the credit card slip I handed him a shock pen, which he thought was hilarious and bought that too. RIP

Corporate Gossip podcast is great if you want to hear business stories about (shitty) people told in an earnest and funny way.

wow calm down there they're not rocket scientists

A screenshot of Firefox Nightly, with the Codepen https://codepen.io/keithamus/pen/wBaZVaX open. The page showing 6 heading levels, showing the CSS, HTML and the rendered page. Each heading is styled differently using the provided CSS selectors, `:heading` (which styles all headers), `:heading(-2n+3)` (styles h1 and h3 elements), `:heading(5, 6)` (styles the h5 and h6 elements). Another Firefox Nightly window is open, showing the `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag is set to `true`, making the rendered page styled using the new selectors.

Hot off the presses! Firefox Nightly (www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo...) adds the new :heading pseudo! Easily style all headings, or use nth-child-like AnB syntax to select a range of headings! Needs `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag enabled. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.

Unlike CEOs and other executives, individual contributors understand concert OPSEC

which is very different from vibe-coding your saas app all the way to production 😅
