Greetings List Lurkers, Happy New Year!
The BOSI Adult Swim meets this evening at 6 PM. Hard to believe that we have been in operation for over 16 years... Other good news is that last week we had good jit.si connectivity at the library, This is becoming more and more important, as the POS laptop I'm using is most temperamental. Last week we delved into Chatbot GPT and stable diffusion. My takeaway is that these apparently open source products rely on that closed source world of Neural Networks, which by their very nature are closed source Artificial Intelligences with various Application Programming Interfaces (API)s. I am interested in continuing to explore this odd world, In this spirit I will attempt to pair program with Copilot. Due to the fact that this requires use of the Open Source Micro$oft Visual Studio Editor (VSE), I am proceeding with extreme caution. I need to get a decent keyboard mapping on this sucker (Anyone ever heard of SAA-CUA? :^). Once things start swinging, who knows what will happen. AI is like software development on roller skates with Jet Packs... That said, bring your problems and questions and we will do our thing! This evening we shall gather at the York Library, it is an excellent facility, and located at: 135 Mill Street, in East Barre. Again, this meeting accommodates remote participation, I will let Jit.si do the heavy lifting, it seems to work just fine. Feel free to click the following link to join... Come on to Jitsi at 6PM!
