Decided to goof off with Grok Build this weekend and ended up with this fun movie mosaic project
Here are mosaics of 12 Monkeys and A Clockwork Orange

Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM.
Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute.
I walked around watching the number climb. Found it.
Apparently you can just make the tool you need now.

I've been watching the past few weeks as pretty much everyone I worked with at Microsoft is taking the voluntary retirement deal
Reminds me how much I miss all my friends from MSFT. If we haven't talked in a while, DM me. We should catch up.
What I did this week:
Used OpenCV, Pillow, and Tesseract to process a folder with images of an out-of-print book and extract the text

Suddenly and unexpectedly looking for a new job
I've got 10+ years experience as a software developer mainly in the .NET stack, but I've been working with Azure Cog Services and building generative AI solutions on the side the last few months
Hit me up! I'd love to chat.
You can check out my LinkedIn or my website / blog / portfolio
I'm a relentless tinker and a tenacious builder. I love solving problems, helping customers, and training people in new tech

Black Friday has definitely come early, as the regular 1TB Xbox Series X complete with a disc drive is now the same price as the new all-digital version!

If you are looking for something to read/study this weekend, I added lots of LLM-related bonus from-scratch coding resources over the last few months (from implementing Llama 3.2 to preference tuning with DPO): github.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-s…
I hope you find them useful!
need to dig into the details of these use cases
The overlooked GenAI use case: cleaning, processing, and analyzing data.
blog.sumble.com/the-overlook…
Job post data tell us what companies plan to do with GenAI. The most common use case is data analytics projects. Examples:
- AstraZeneca: using LLMs on freeform documents to structure results from their Extractables & Leachables testing (sumble.com/l/FgehjrgnvN)
- Trafigura: The Document AI team is using LLMs to extract data from a corpus of commodity trading documents to generate credit reports
(sumble.com/l/6bY7mhyAHd)
The startup ecosystem is overlooking this use case, instead focusing on other areas such as customer support, sales & marketing and code gen.
The case for buying AMD stock is that maybe they will somehow get their stuff together and build products that can effectively compete with NVidia

note for myself
Developing a Windows app but not sure which UI framework to choose? 🤔
Watch @alvinashcraft's session from Visual Studio Live! He breaks down each framework to help you choose the right one for your project!👇

I need to keep this chart in my back pocket for when I'm talking about what it will take to bring custom LLMs in-house
Fascinating
added the ability to my personal AI to respond with images & reference them:
