This is the pocket computer-history museum I use for introductory computer technology presentations: 7AK7 computer vacuum tube, metal-can transistor, SSI chip, exposed EPROM and CPU chip, RAM / SSD storage and RPi zero. I demoed it yesterday to high-school students in YES, our Youth Entrepreneurship Seminar. https://yes.aueb.gr/

What a time to live in! We're discussing about AI recursive self-improvement and AGI. And and the same time, we're also managing IT systems with cryptic tags and by adding "000_" to first names so that they appear on top of the list.

Over the past few days I used #OpenAI #Codex to perform a fairly extensive and demanding software code change (1740 insertions and 609 deletions on 13 files). Here you can find all my 78 prompts documented and classified, and, based on the…

As GenAI code accumulates, it's important to document its provenance. In industry this can help diagnose the root cause of problems discovered long after the code was written, locate issues with a similar cause, and evaluate the cost and b…
