In terms of trying to communicate with a non-specialist audience about being AI critical, I actually do really like this metaphor

Agents & APIs London Developer Meetup · Luma Supercharge your dev game at the Agents and APIs Developer Meetup brought to you by Postman. Do you: Need to put your AI agents into production? Create APIs…

The Agents and APIs meetup is this week! Join me on 12th Feb alongside speakers from Postman and Snyk to learn about #ai agent production practices such as #testing, #observability (by yours truly) and #security:

See you then 👋 !

turbo c is a fad that will die soon enough.

learning to program in assembly in a real environment (where registers, memory, clocks, and interrupts actually matter) will make a good developer, ready to learn anything else.

when nothing is abstracted and the machine doesn’t explain itself, you […]

Please stop digging this hole deeper. There's no defence for using gen AI and also this is a horrible and vaguely offensive pic! Why is she blue?! Is this fucking Avatar?

How would you have illustrated the article five years ago? DO THAT INSTEAD

I was just watching a YT talk about the current state of Freenet and the speaker pivots into how great AI is and how great a substrate Freenet will be for AI agents and like how can you be both red and blue pilled at once

Ah, getting nostalgic while making figures for color education!

Machine learning, and deep learning, are awesome tools.

As I work on my fantasy series, I'm struck by how much the process of writing is also the process by which a story idea is improved, expanded, and refined.
If I paid another writer to do that, or used an LLM, I would miss out on the mental churn that has made this work keep getting better as I work.

TOUGH ISSUES, GREAT READING!

Maybe it’s an investment made by some movie producer for a parody movie that represents the collective hate for computer science and the evolving vision that would be possible if doctors didn’t marry their sisters.

Why this Conservative Evangelical Pastor Changed Sides | NLP Replay What role have white evangelicals played in the current struggle against fascism? Once a political actor tasked with influencing SCOTUS to overturn Roe v. Wade, Reverend Schenck has since come to regret his involvement with the religious right, which he describes as a “cult.” He now calls himself a “dissenting Evangelical organizer.” Our hosts ask the reverend what brought him around.    Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers PLUS guest-host Tamika Mallory for this segment from episode #117 that aired 02-05-26     If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   Welcome home y’all!    —--------- We want to hear from you!

And of course 3d tech in displays, phones etc. Was going tombe transformative, really wasn't. Nothing quite with the level of investment we've seen in gen AI though. This now neither has to be massive or it risks being tulip mania.

pretty sure i got approached by BAe when i was job-hunting last year just because id mentioned computer vision on my cv, because i used to fuck around with the Kinect.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but … if you were an evil cabal trying to turn people into easily manipulable fucking idiots then aggressively pushing Gen AI would be a good place to start.

Nice to see DDD broken down like this.

Will definitely be tuning in tomorrow.

AI for Africa, by Africa. Build smarter, right here.

Fiber Broadband Unlocks Capacity Required to Fuel AI and Quantum Innovation Artificial intelligence and quantum computing are often described as transformative technologies — capable of reshaping industries, accelerating scientific discovery, and redefining global competitiveness. Yet beneath the headlines about advanced algorithms, qubits, and machine learning models lies a less visible but equally critical enabler: fiber broadband infrastructure. Fiber broadband is emerging as the critical infrastructure powering AI and quantum computing innovation.

I’ve seen some agents go extreme like even say they don’t rep authors who use AI to generate ideas. That’s just ridiculous. If AI helps with character names or chapter titles or general book ideas that does NOT mean that the book itself was written by AI.

John Hancock looks to new AI underwriting tool to slash processing time – Insurance News One of the newest Gen-AI powered underwriting tools to enter the market promises to cut down preliminary processing times from about one day to just 15 minutes, saving agents time and improving customer experience. Quick Quote is the most recent AI tech tool to spring from John Hancock/Manulife’s innovation team, a global leader in the field. “There’s a lot of AI activity in insurance right now, but Quick Quote stands out because it’s one of the first reasoning-based GenAI quote-generating engines in the U.S.

Oh, interesting didn't know about tool, very handy one.

Usually I did it ad-hoc for every project I was interested, and from time to time getting mixed results when Cline/Codex or other LLM tool wasn't patient enough to make things done for every single line of code

I just mistyped a network vendor name in a search query related to some open source tooling.. AI helper informed me yes, non-existent TypoName is supported by OSSTool … 🤣

Take RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

"I connected a vector database to my LLM."

Infrastructure approach:

- Chunking strategy optimized for your data
- Embedding model selected for your domain
- Hybrid search (semantic + keyword)
- Reranking layer for relevance
