Sometimes, when my wife Carole and I take a selfie, we inadvertently trigger the camera's flash and that reveals our secret true selfs... 🫣 So, yes, it is true... Carole is a fairy and my name Alain is just a weak attempt at hiding that I'm an Alien! Don't tell anyone! πŸ™Š

CloudFest Hackathon 2025: An Event That's Hit Its Stride

Hi #WCAsia2025 friends, I am always eager to improve and to learn what works and what doesn't, so I want to ask you all a favor. If you have attended my talk live during the event or have watched the live stream, I would love to get feedback. πŸ‘‰ asia.wordcamp.org/2025/session...

I'll be on stage at #WCAsia2025 in less than an hour talking about the rapid paradigm shift #AI is bringing to human-machine interactions and how we produce and consume digital information. Come join me in Meeting Room 11 (Dagohoy) and find out how to manage this transition! πŸ‘‹

I made it, first 10K run event for me! πŸŽ‰πŸ˜… Shout out to Ben Leow for the company and advice, and thanks to the organizers of the #CtrlAltRun event for an awesome event!

For attending from #WCAsia2025 #WCAsia attending #CtrlAltRun as well: Let's do this! πŸ‘ŸπŸƒπŸ’ͺ

What if browsers stop being our default "user agents" to engage with the digital world and instead we rely on individualized #AI agents to become our primary interface to digital services and content? 🀯 πŸ‘‰ Join me in Manila at #WCAsia to explore and discuss! asia.wordcamp.org/2025/session...

I'm sure it's a very common problem when you cannot switch on the lights in your home office because your light switch crashed due to a faulty SSD on your automation controller... right? Right?

Having fun with the new drone... 😁

An all-time favorite... #TheTimpsons ! πŸ˜…

The #CloudFest Hackathon 2025 will take place in KrΓΈnasΓ₯r, the stunning "Museum Hotel" next to #Rulantica in #EuropaPark. Make sure to apply in time if you want to take part! hackathon.cloudfest.com/cf-hackathon... #CFHack #CFHack2025

There is an alternative version of the #boardgame called "Dorfromantik Sakura". It's not an extension, but a replacement. The base mechanics are the same, so you can start right away. However, it is a little bit more difficult and grows into more complex mechanics through its campaign. πŸ‘

Lazy #boardgame afternoon with "Dorfromantik" β™ŸοΈπŸŽ²πŸ§© This time we finally got the last achievement (a region with 3 flags worth 40 points or more), so now we've unlocked all the game mechanics. πŸŽ‰

πŸ‘ @anthropic.com seems to best understand where the limitations of the #LLMs currently are - it's not about training bigger models at diminishing returns, but optmizing the ways you get the right context to the model. Can't wait to implement this locally: www.anthropic.com/news/model-c...

Question: For people trying to build reusable #JavaScript libraries, what is your absolute No. 1 top advice to ensure long-term maintainability across all the crazy pivots the language standard and ecosystem keeps throwing at you? What made the biggest difference for you?

Hey #GenAi crowd, Is Markdown the best format for collecting context over time? It offers a good tradeoff between semantic information and terseness, is human-readable and -editable and seems universally understood by all models. It's also hard to mess up its structure, as opposed to JSON. Thoughts?

Made a tip sheet on "How to Bluesky" Highlights: Mute, Block, Requiring Alt Text, Moderation lists, Labels, Badges, Feeds, Starter Packs, etc. Hopefully it makes the experience of getting started here a little bit easier. Feedback welcomed. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Let's get the #BuffyTheDog hashtag started here on @bsky.app as well. You can never have enough four-legged cuteness on a social network, right?

Hey #llm community, Is anyone using a system/framework for managing their own personal context at scale? Meaning, the ability to collect context over time and across projects, with the ability to include parts of it in requests in varying degrees of granularity and scope.

Thanks for effort, @nico.dev ! This finally gave me a nudge to try Bluesky.
