AI model development is free right up until you need to start training and trialing some small, usable models. Then it's very very expensive 😭

v0 is overall great but it just charged me a dollar to add a bunch of backslashes to my codebase and then fail to delete them when the code stopped working because of all of these backslashes

Who are the AI builders and hackers on Mastodon? I spent the last month building a fairly unique chess bot and wanted to show people.

It's a transformer architecture and has promising early results. Lots of room for improvement in training data and architecture too.

Google Gemini telling me to edit a text file with nano is the most shade an LLM has ever given me.

My favorite kind of bug is where two bugs happen at the same time. So you solve for bug 1 but bug 2 is still there still thriving and still messing your stuff up.

I don't think people understand the *massive* gulf between fire injuries/deaths and traffic violence.

Here's an example:

Average annual fire injures in Berkeley: 2
Average annual traffic injuries in Berkeley: 694

"Nowhere in the country have rents declined as much as they have in Austin — now 22% off the peak reached in August 2023, according to Redfin. The median asking rent is $1,399 per month, down $400 in less than three years"

Ever get confused by OpenAPI’s oneOf, allOf, and anyOf? We got you!

🚀 oneOf: Only one schema matches
🚀 allOf: All schemas match
🚀 anyOf: At least one matches

A small change can have a BIG impact on API validation.

I break it down in this guide 🔽

Austin should be a city where generational families can stay and thrive.

Had a great time with @aura-atx.org! Their work for a more inclusive, connected Austin is inspiring.

Together we're building a city that works for everyone! 🏠 ❤️

I wrote a little article about LLMs. I swear it's good.
LLMs are powerful but not perfect. They can help with coding and debugging but also confidently give wrong answers.

Our latest post covers how to use LLMs effectively while avoiding common pitfalls.

Imagine if you will a Texas connected by regional rail lines, and Texas cities big and small with light rail systems. No more worrying about driving on congested highways or worrying about finding parking downtown. Wouldn't that be nice?
The East Texas city of Tyler, has commissioned a study to determine if light rail or trolley service could help augment transportation options.
