There is definitely something going on with context in ChatGPT 5.1 today. It will answer all the previous questions in the thread (with similar answers to previous results) before answering the current question leading to pages of text. Switching back to 5 Instant or 5 Thinking fixes everything. 🤔

New blog post: RAG Time — Cooking Up Smart Recipe Suggestions with AI

Used a recipe database + embeddings + cosine similarity to build a FastAPI service that suggests recipes from your leftover ingredients.

A tasty intro to RAG.

I made a simple web app where AIs play a telephone game by taking turns creating images and trying to guess the original text. Unfortunately they are far too good at it so you don't get the comical errors humans make. ai-telephone.timfduffy.com

If you're on #LinkedIn, this is the link for declining their use of your data for training their AI models:

Follow-up to my post on clustering recipes with unsupervised learning: now I’ve built a FastAPI endpoint to actually serve recommendations!

From ML exploration → usable service.https://agingcoder.com/posts/2025-08-30-serving-the-cookbook-creating-an-endpoint-for-recipe-recommendations/

Continuing my ML series—this time unsupervised. What can we do with our recipe database? Vectorize ingredients, cluster dishes, and surface look-alikes.

Who really represents you?

Under first-past-the-post, most people are stuck with a single MP they didn’t vote for.

Proportional representation gives you a team of local or regional MPs who reflect your values.

Here’s how proportional representation strengthens local democracy 🧵1/8

Kind of sad, Gemini doesn't know anything about Google's own applications. But ChatGPT had no problem answering.

I've written a fairly technical blog (and have already published the first 2 of at least 4 parts) on Supervised Learning. You can read all about it, starting with agingcoder.com/posts/2025-0... and continuing in this article agingcoder.com/posts/2025-0...

No matter what happens with the Canadian Federal election, one thing will be true — a significant % of Canadian voters & media will have been successfully manipulated to oppose a beneficial carbon pricing approach that was either revenue-neutral or financially beneficial to almost all Canadians…1/2

It makes you wonder if current AI would be at the same stage if Lou Reed and David Bowie hadn't written the first Transformer in 1972.
