It’s LLunchtiMe! This is an intro article I’ve written on using LLM evals with Inspect to format recipes. generativeai.pub/learning-llm...

Feeling the flutter vibe? A one hour hackathon to vibe code a piano game in Flutter @flutterfriends.dev #FlutterVibesOnly

First overseas software conference - the excellent @flutterfriends.dev Check out the amazing e-ink badge! Looking forward to the badge hack sessions.

This is a new low @britishairwayteam.bsky.social - not letting us choose a seat at check-in? What does distinguish you from a budget airline these days? (It’s not price!)

Good use of AI here to fight drive offs. More people should look at cheapestpetrol.uk for a better deal! 'I'm using technology to fight against drive-off fuel thefts' www.bbc.com/news/article...

I need to borrow an electric van from basically anywhere in the U.K. tomorrow (Tuesday 26th) and return it Sept 2nd. Big ask, but rental companies messed me around after my e-van repairs got delayed. It’s for Zero Carbon Adventures and @protect.earth and I can pay a few hundred quid.

UK inflation is up today! Could be a good time to check out some cheapestpetrol.uk

A little Sunday afternoon project mapping the movement of the sun - totally overkill but fun nevertheless! youtu.be/QbSEylQXLCc

As always UAT is enlightening- getting my partner to test the scheduling app I created for her threw up a ton of issues and insights as she used it a different was to what I envisaged. Back to the desktop to make some changes!

Deploying a new project to dev today so my beta testers (ie friends and family) can get stuck in!

Great trip to the future of food exhibit at London’s science museum yesterday. Plent of food for thought (yes I went there) but my word it starts darkly before offering some hope! www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/f...

Happy Yorkshire Day to those who celebrate and trouble at mill to those who don’t!

What a result! Back to back winners! Been a great journey to watch - congratulations Lionesses! #ENG

Using LLM agents and MCP to examine code - here’s an article I wrote about a demo of this. medium.com/@j-casswell/...

Nice little django trick I've just discovered - custom code to perform data clean up as part of a migration:

This is a really scary article! I like the idea of having to supply your editing history though and the teacher who now has essays written in class gives me hope.

Been playing with the Open Recipe Format - puts recipes in a format readable by humans and machines. Then you can manipulate easily like this simple viewer that lets you scroll independently the ingredients and method!

Wrote an article following my experiments with federated learning using flower ai and scikit learn. Check it out! j-casswell.medium.com/creating-a-w...

Been writing an article. Have had worse temporary workspaces.

At the Flower AI summit today learning about federated learning. Very interesting jumping into this specialised area (also a little confusing when it gets technical!)

Another day another web fix. Today refactored cheapestpetrol.uk to remove the page footer.

Quick update to easycalcguru.com to make it easier to use on mobile screens. Now you can calculate your rice water or the booze in a cocktail - both of which I’ve used this week - more easily from your mobile.

Just finished Severence series 1 and saw the Substance at the weekend - feels like we’re being spoilt with the sophisticated sci-fi!

Too ill to attend a mini hackathon yesterday I had my own at home. Got the basics working for a qr based freezer database. Thinking of calling it What’s in The Freezer or WTF for short.

If like me you have too many repos across too many machines (I know is there such a thing?) then this little bash script will help to see where you haven’t synced.

Field testing SkiTracker v3. #M5stack

Looking forward to seeing my fiverr designs later. Design is not my strongpoint so outsourcing the inspiration.

Interesting - wonder what the moderation model will be?

Ski season is upon us and what goes better with slopes than data? Testing my new M5Stack gos device ahead of revitalisating SkiTracker!

What are the non meta alternatives? For WhatsApp there’s signal. What’s the alternative for instagram? And what features would you want in that?

Happy New Year! Resolutions for 25 - in no particular order: - make some money on the internet - floss more - average two park runs a month

Been a good year for coding! Improvement in activity from 2023.

Xmas coding project now merged into the Micro Hydra dist for the cardputer. Check out your CO2 levels! (Think that might be the reason I was suffering headaches. github.com/echo-lalia/M...

Been playing with my cardputer and a CO2 sensor this festive period to have a mobile readout of the current CO2 levels… and learning some cardputer!

*beat

A Christmas miracle - best the final level on Overcooked!

Nice one for making it work without sign up - recently did the same for a qr generator after getting annoyed how many websites needed you to create an account.

Great idea for those of us watching our drinking! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

Quite the evening - installed flutter dev stack on windows (normally macOS) and got an app running on a physical phone!

Saw Steve Coogan (surrounded by a great cast) in Dr Strangelove last night and it was excellent! ‘Like grown up panto’ said @samcasswell.bsky.social

Have just read about the King Charles 3rd coastal path (thank you @economist.com). Sounds like an excellent adventure. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Ch...

Trying advent of code for the first time in a new language - dart - as a learning exercise. First day: need to read this file… Me: ahhh…. adventofcode.com

Enjoyed this article - I’ve heard the sentiment expressed as Minimum Lovable Product but this expands on the concept.

Loving the #30DayMapChallenge posts! Some excellent creativity that crosses art and data. Something very grounding about map visualisations as well. #punPartiallyIntended

Okay so now I’ve created a page to generate QR codes without having to hand over your email! easycalcguru.com/qr_link

Trying to get a quick QR code and the first four or so websites wanted sign up details. Was quicker to download some code to generate them!

Scary article and I’ve been on a similar journey recently - also with good results that I’m going to write up soon. ‘I had no idea being a social drinker would damage my liver by 31’ www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thinking of learning flutter - any thoughts or recommendations?

Laughs in engineer…

Very interesting thread…
