Learning A Bit

  • Results From The AI Summit With Friends

    Recently, a few friends and I got together for a few days to learn from our resident AI whisperer. I had been playing with AI for a bit, but this was a little more “formal”. I won’t bore you with all the details, but this was one of the biggest takeaways -> I created a…

  • Not all LLM are created equal

    Over the holidays, while I was slacking from doing important computer work, I ended up at a casino. While there, I won a few bucks on my favorite game, roulette. Upon returning home, I looked for a roulette app, and there are plenty! But they have the “to play, I have to pay or give…

  • Another Busy Week…

    It has been another busy week. For AI in general, and for myself. On Tuesday, OpenAI had its keynote. And did they announce some stuff! Now on to what’s important! It is time I actively look for a new job. In an effort to keep a semblance of privacy, I am setting up a local…

  • The Power of Hindsight

    I just took a closer look at my personal Github repos, and I have not added anything for over 2 years. This is absolutely DREADFUL. Like my previous post states, this does not mean I have been stagnant. If you’ll excuse me, I need to get to work. (Apologies for the super short post…)

  • Elasticsearch!

    For longer than I’d like to admit, I kept hearing about this thing called Elasticsearch. Now I have an idea of what it is! Over the last week, I completed the Beginner’s Crash Course to Elastic Stack (YouTube mini videos). I am by no means claiming that I KNOW Elasticsearch, but I believe I have…

  • More with Udemy and Python

    Another tutorial has fallen before me!!! This time, I have taken down REST APIs with Flask and Python. This one was more enjoyable than the previous course. I felt it was more on point for the description, but we also went down a possibly “unneeded” rabbit hole. (These opinions may be coming from my inexperience as…

  • La Petit Errors

    Let me say, there is probably no such thing as a tiny error. The devil is in the details. And apparently the bane of my existence… Recently, two tiny, major errors caused me to waste time on items I should not have. The first error involves modifying a tutorial. For project details, you can see it here.…

  • edX Comes to the Rescue

    After deciding to not complete (and pay for) the 30 Days of Python, I turned my sights back to edX! I have started the course Using Python for Research, and have just completed the homework for week 2. The homework for week 1 threw me for a loop, and to be honest, I did not complete…

  • Github revisited

    Have you ever had that feeling when you are learning something, and then find out you were doing it wrong, or at least not in the best way? Yeah… I know I was not using Github to anywhere close to its capabilities, and I there are still uses that still need to be uncovered, but…

  • Bitten by Python

    Yesterday, I completed edx’s Introduction to Python for Data Science course. If I may pat myself on the back, I received a perfect score! I audited this course, I did not sign up for the certificate. I will admit, this was a bit easier than I expected, it was completed over the course of about 3…
