This week I have learned:
- what the heck deep research actually is in the LLM tools. It’s been useful already.
- how nice it was to catch up with former colleagues from Microsoft earlier in the week. Microsoft was a pretty torrid period in my career. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It was great to chat with former colleagues and we seemed to remember each other fondly. The end of the Steve Ballmer era was a strange time at Redmond. - building interactive exhibits is the next stage in the work on Random the Book.
- I’ve at last crystallised an idea about structured data that’s been in my head for ages.
- and also a thing about how things become forms.
- apparently there are some drugs which have such explosive side effects that patients are issued with a special card that compels whoever is shown it to make a toilet available for use immediately.
