It just works

Testing out our latest integration with the National Do Not Call Registry 📵

AI summary looking nice as well!

When you just built your first AI model and ask your senior why it won’t generalize…

Someone should build an app called Mt. Olympus, where top models debate as agents until they reach a mutually agreed solution to complex queries, and you can watch the "distributed" chain of thought live. Too many ideas and too little time to do it myself :P

I listen to audiobooks every morning. I get physical copies of my favorites.

One of these favorites is “Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

This pictured section below struck me today.

“Simple”

Really excited about an article in the pipeline explaining how to think about fraud in 2025 as an Engineer. Here's a little taste!

It took my poorly drawn art project and transformed it into a working mini-app in just a few prompts.

Easing back into the year with some food engineering 🤣 Our first homemade sourdough and butter turned into some mighty nice breakfast!

Credit to @OpenAI for the sourdough recipe and my wife’s Italian heritage for knowing what to do with it🧑‍🍳

Exercise is part of your job as an engineer 🧵 (1/3)

This weekend, my wife and I took our little Ford Ranger through the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The lack of cell signal and new vistas helped kick off my contemplative side, adding structure to the vision for Dodgeball in 2025.

Working with ML in Python, but aren't sure how to set useful hyper-parameters? Optimize your approach with Grid Search and Cross Validation!

Example below used to train a supervised classifier...

Using pandas read_sql_query() with the chunksize parameter and a streamable SQLAlchemy connection lets you handle arbitrarily large tables efficiently. Great for querying large tables, performing ETL operations, and streaming results to S3 as CSVs for downstream processing.

Ellie wants everyone to know that she has no idea how this happened, she just found the tissue like this 🤣 #personal

Big #o1 gap #openai - it can tell me all sorts of things about the theoretical aspects of music, but cannot identify even simple tunes. The song here is "Fly me to the moon" even if you only play the melody on the second line it takes no time to recognize. Anyone want to try #o1-pro on this?

PSA: It's easy to change your 🦋 handle to your own domain, even if you've already started with a .bsky.social handle

Check "Settings/Account/Handle" and use the form below to get values to enter into your DNS. They also provide an option to upload a well-known file!

Problem: I want to create a type-safe dictionary with all combinations of two enums as keys.

Solution: Use Template Literal Types to programmatically define a union of valid keys:

Result: No invalid keys allowed, fully type-checked! 💪 #TypeScript #Dev

I'm migrating from my Azure Directory to a customer's.
My phased approach:

1️⃣ Deploy new resources in the new directory - preventing the task from increasing in complexity
2️⃣ Use phased CI/CD adjustments to move stateless resources to the new directory 🧵 (1/3)
