Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.

commit_script.sh GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

One place where LLMs are useful: generating commit messages, given that:

1. You understand and can evaluate the message
2. The scoped code change is small
3. Your model is fast enough

Still playing around but this script+ prompt works fairly well out of the box:

We just launched tldraw computer

Oh cool, I can see that method being useful. Might be worried a bit about lagging indicators and biased responses. Would you be able to use your own training data to build representations of your customer persona or just rely on readily available models?

Maybe, after establishing a relationship with the customer and asking if providing feedback in this manner would be something they are open to. I don’t think I’d like to cold open with an AI interview.

eeep, TIL how map and filter functions work in #Python by passing functions as arguments!

Recently learned piano lessons are available on #duolingo 🎹🎹 adding to my backlog stuff to checkout after my Python courses end this Summer.

Re Phi-4, Where do I look to learn more about the differences in environmental impact of small models vs large?

Q for product leaders: Q1 planning period is coming to a close and PMs are feeling like some really great ideas are being shelved for higher priorities. How to support folks through the (sometimes painful) prioritization process?

Slack message in which the user is referred to as the in house AI expert.

Look Ma, we made it.

Curious to hear from other #python learners? How far into your course were methods introduced? We’ve been using module based functions up til now. I feel like I’ve just unlocked a new level in the game. 🥳

Consider also including the cost of being poor. The wet boots example is a good one. I have the same dilemma tbh looking for some good resources.

lol at this skeet getting pulled into the Product Management feed 😅

100% copyright-safe (EU AI-Act compatible) LLMs.

Sweet.

Hey, for anyone processing the Bluesky #firehose, here are a couple open-source libraries you might want to look at. They both give you a thing you can push "patterns" at and then feed JSON blobs and it tells you which patterns matched. Why is this interesting?

I’m thinking this applies to muscle soreness after starting a new workout routine, too? Any tips?

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games.

Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here.

(reposts welcome to spread the word)

Bluesky is a great way to add comments to your blog or site. I've made a web component to make that easy to do.

Load the script, then use the <bluesky-comments> tag. Looks great by default, but is super-customisable with CSS vars and parts. Lazy loads, zero frameworks

Would this allow for private social networks? Like little cloud based group texts?

A good thread for the PDS curious like myself ⬇️

I love this place. Learning a lot from the Python and data science folks here.

Introduction • The Joy of React Welcome, prospective student! This small collection of lessons is designed to give you a feel for my teaching style, and the way the content is structured. I hope it helps give you a sense of what the...

🏠 I’m having an Open House!

This has become a bit of a tradition for me. Every Black Friday, I select a couple of lessons from my courses and make them public for a few days. This way, potential students can test-drive the content and see if it’s a good fit for them!

The doors have just opened. 😄

TIL how to implement GitHub OAuth for an otherwise completely static website (HTML+JavaScript on GitHub Pages) using Cloudflare Workers: https://til.simonwillison.net/cloudflare/workers-github-oauth

Ever wanted to see the world through someone else’s eyes?

Thanks for sharing. I’m in the middle of a python course and learning so much but imposter syndrome is real and I’m wondering if I’ll ever be able to leverage these skills. Your post gives me hope!
