The agenda is up and online, and most excellent sessionize.com/api/v2/kspp9...

Hope I'll see you in Birmingham on 30th November! #UKOUG25

@gianniceresa.bsky.social combining the reasoning power of LLMs with... something? @sym42.bsky.social

And it’s over, sadly. #poug2025 ended yesterday, and it was a great 10th anniversary event very well organised by the @pougorg.bsky.social team.
Well done @luizafrompoland.bsky.social and @ora600pl.bsky.social

Looking forward to #poug2026, no idea where it will be, but I will be there.

And now the LLM is calling me stupid 😐

"The user seems confused about what this data represents."

It isn't like I said exactly what the data meant in the prompt, and that all they column names are very much explicit.

Time to go back at using my own brain: fully natural and somewhat intelligent.

Ah! So it was you hiding behind that LLM and charging me without any answer!!

😂

Gianni Ceresa @gianniceresa.bsky.social · May 22

More pointless interactions with LLMs…

Me: “I have a large tabular dataset, can you analyse it for me?”
LLM: “sure, send it”
Me: ask a question and provide the whole data
LLM: “looks like you provided a large dataset, you should analyse it first and you will find answers to your questions”
Thanks 🙄

What are you doing early September?
I have the answer for you: you are in Poznan (Poland) attending #POUG2025 !
I can't even imagine you could have other plans, because the events organized by @pougorg.bsky.social are too good to be missed.

Have a look at the agenda: poug.org/edycja/poug-...

Hi, I’m Gianni and I’m a #POUGaholic.

See you at #POUG2025 !!

Polish Oracle User Group @pougorg.bsky.social · Apr 25

It's time to break the silence. #POUG2025 is not just a fun conference. It can be dangerous.

@Erik Van Roon was the first to speak loudly about the consequences of attending our event.
...but if you have no fear, cheaper tickets are still available: poug.org/edycja/poug-... 😎

Oracle Analytics Server 2025 has been released a few hours ago.

You can easily test it by using a Docker image: github.com/gianniceresa...

As simple as that, 12 months of upgrades ready to be tested.

And it did work!
I couldn't get rid of the AI thing, but I have an extra year for cheaper than the older price.
You can add multiple license keys to extend for multiple years, up to 5 years (that's what Microsoft website says).

Gianni Ceresa @gianniceresa.bsky.social · Jan 23

My renewal is in 2 months, but I just checked the "price" and it went up by the same amount as yours. But I don't see any option to change that.
I'm now going to try by buying a license key in a shop and add that as extension (and it's even cheaper), with some luck it works :D
