This has been a super interesting experience; maybe I’ll do a video or explain the process at some point. I’m very proud of the result. The most challenging talk I’ve ever done. It should get chopped up on YouTube soon. #TEDxPDX (but it can be found rewinding in the livestream)

🤔 Apparently I ask ChatGPT deep research way too complex tasks to research? I keep having it just stop in the middle of researching and never returning a result. 😱 Also, ChatGPT doens't have a "report this" button anywhere...

I found this article easy to follow on how to run a model locally using ONNX in .NET. I'm excited to now follow similar steps using a custom scikit-learn model.

I had a dev manager tell me the other day that a custom Copilot is just a chatbot and not really an AI solution. What do you think about this?

Hmm, do I replace my 2019 16” MacBook Pro w/ Intel i9 before tariffs shoot prices up? 🤔 It still works great for daily dev work.

Well, I just wrote an AI Agent that can take a Microsoft Certification Exam and generate a full set of practice exam questions to help me study. Do you think I should add this capability to my Build5Nines Membership at members.build5nines.com?

AI is not the thing. It's the thing that enables the thing. You may be afraid it'll replace your job, but your job is about people and there will always be people.

Why do I include my logo and site in my article featured images? Because I get a lot of sites infringing on my copyright, and it's easy to prove this for copyright takedowns by adding my logo and site domain on the image.
