Repurposing one of my old homelab proxmox nodes into a family computer. Loading @ZorinOS onto this old SFF ThinkCenter so t3h kids can have something to do homework, surf the web and play some games like Minecraft.

Got repetitive code? Don't copy/paste that logic one more time, take a look at the Template Method Pattern! Define the algorithm once, let subclasses customize the pieces.
Breaking down the pattern with .NET examples.

Well I voted, so I'm legally allowed to complain about our political leaders for another year.
And as always, my reminder to everyone, please spend 10 minutes before you leave and actually research the ballot issues. the time to decide how to vote isn't at the ballot box.

A lot of people under 30 don’t realize that anyone who is 35+ thst actually has been writing the last 20+ years will sound like AI… because it was trained on all of our writing and speech patterns🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
The funny thing is that AI does this because us millennials and Gen Xers were the original writers and bloggers of the internet era…
So all of our common quirks in writing are built into AI… unlike Gen Z who. Ever bothered with blogging, websites or newsletters.
I built my first websites on Angelfire, Lycos and Geocities back in 1995…
I started blogging on Livejournal and Xanga before 2000.
Am our favorite OG YouTubers started posting videos in 2006 which makes us all old AF…
People who were kids on your one have near adult children on YouTube at this point.
AI is just speaking like us, because we are the source material.
AI simply is “Giving Millennial” when it writes…

it's been a couple weeks since we had all 17 windows in our house replaced. It's amazing the improvement of both noise reduction and temperature control.
hopefully in another year or two we will have the siding replaced with modern insulated siding to increasing both even more.

Fate you cruel mistress! I was feeling tempted to go to the record store near my office today as it was such a beautiful day but talked myself out of it as I was busy.
I just found out Billy Corgan, of The Smashing Pumpkins, was at the store and I could have meet him!

Just picked up a Intel B70 Pro to do some AI testing. With 32gb of vram I can load much larger models than my current 16gb RTX 5060ti card.

Been working on a rather large feature, took a break and had the AI get building some unit tests. Ran into an issue with some 3rd party EF sql extension not working with sqlite which we use for our unit testing.
Dang AI tried to rewrite half my repo to work around the limitation

the worst part was it broke a ton of business logic in doing so...
it got so focused on trying to make the tests run it was willing to destroy the code it was supposed to be testing.
Add that to things you need to add to your agent.md to prevent!

"Do not modify code under test to get a unit test to work. If you discover a limitation of the testing framework, stop and alert me to the issue, do not try to fix it yourself."

Next time someone says ".NET is just for boring enterprise CRUD apps", show them TensorSharp.
A full local LLM inference engine written in C#. Not a wrapper. Not calling into Python.
.NET can build serious AI systems.

Can someone explain why no LLM creator is focusing on making a stripped down, rapidly released coding model that gets monthly releases trained in the latest technology documentation? Opus can write me an essay on George Washington, but it doesn't know dotnet 10 was released!

Imagine a model that doesn't worry about loading all the world's history but instead is stripped down to just what a coder needs. it could end up half the size of top models and run wicked fast on actual consumer grade hardware.
