I Think I See Where AI Will Change Work First
I’ve been reading a fascinating new research report from Anthropic, and it’s been causing me to rethink everything I assumed about AI and the future of jobs. We’ve all heard the big, sweeping predictions—robots taking over entire professions, mass unemployment, that sort of thing. But this study doesn’t look at the future. It looks at… Continue reading I Think I See Where AI Will Change Work First
A Comprehensive Guide to the Agentic AI Framework
The transition from simple automation to Agentic AI represents one of the most profound shifts in the history of computing. While traditional AI excels at prediction or classification, Agentic AI is fundamentally designed to act. To navigate this new paradigm, we propose a unified architectural framework a structured progression from the foundational roots of Machine… Continue reading A Comprehensive Guide to the Agentic AI Framework

Setting Up Alerts You can configure alerts for: Steps: 3. Auto-Refresh & Manual Updates 4. Troubleshooting This application helps users maintain their energy systems efficiently by providing real-time insights and proactive alerts.
Victron Multiplus Monitoring Application
And How It Can Help You Keep Track of Your Energy System Why I Created This Tool I built this application because I couldn’t find a simple, free solution to monitor my Victron Multiplus system the way I wanted. The existing tools didn’t give me the real-time alerts I needed. So, I decided to make… Continue reading Victron Multiplus Monitoring Application
Gemma 3 (27B): A Local Powerhouse for Creative Exploration
The landscape of large language models (LLMs) is rapidly evolving, and the ability to run powerful models locally is becoming increasingly significant. Recently, I had the opportunity to test Google’s Gemma 3 (27B) model on a high-performance workstation, and the experience was genuinely impressive. The 27B parameter model, a substantial leap in capability, demonstrated remarkable… Continue reading Gemma 3 (27B): A Local Powerhouse for Creative Exploration
How are they built?
Imagine you’re trying to learn a new language. You wouldn’t just read a few sentences, right? You’d immerse yourself in books, articles, conversations – anything you could get your hands on. That’s essentially what LLMs do. They devour tons of text from the internet, like books, articles, and websites. The more they read, the better… Continue reading How are they built?
