CPU vs. GPU vs. TPU vs. NPU: Meet the Processors Powering AI by Lino Tadros https://thetrainingboss.com/cpu_gpu_tpu_npu/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=newsletter

I'm enjoying my arm-based #surface - probably in large part because of the advocacy that @sinclairinat0r.com has been doing around this ecosystem for years. Thank you!

My observation is that most people in orgs resist thinking or talking about using #ai to automate substantial tasks, I suspect fearing it will do to them what AI is doing to IT.

I want my "Copilot key" to launch Claude instead. blog.lhotka.net/2026/10/22/C... #windows #surface #copilot #claude

Thanks to @KifoPL, #adjutant now supports #iCloud and #DAV accounts, adding to existing gmail, M365, and other email/calendar providers. If you have multiple email or calendar accounts, and want to use them via #ai, check it out! github.com/MarimerLLC/c...

Day 1 of our 6 week #blazor class starting now with @allenconway.bsky.social

A key lesson I've learned for using #ai to build software is to also build the tools so the agent can "close the loop" and validate its own work. That is a powerful accelerator, and a way to avoid having the agent go "off the rails" as it works. blog.lhotka.net/2026/09/25/C...

#opus 5.5 turns out to be so security limited that it can't test the software it creates, and now there's no fallback to an older version. #claude is in trouble if it can't be used for app dev work!

Using #claudecode as a remote control _server_ makes working with #ai really nice! blog.lhotka.net/2026/09/21/R...

I think back to a year ago, trying to work on #cslanet with #ai tools like #copilot and failing. Today's tools including #claude are easily able to do what couldn't be done then.

Coming right up. Rocky says this has changed his life!

I've spent the last 3 days with people who say button as bu-un, and bottom as bo-um, and interesting as in-eresting. I think it called a dropped-t? Super annoying to those of use who still value the letter T 🫣

Next week, June 17, is the #trailblazor online event, and I'm presenting "Agentic Architecture in Practice: Harness, LLM, Directives" trailblazor.net #ai #agentic

I've been doing some #github #copilot (GHC) usage testing with the new pricing model - using it exactly as I use #ClaudeCode. GHC uses AIC (AI credits) as a metric. I seem to be using 800-1k per hour while multi-tasking on other things. So let's say I use 1k/hr - seems spendy!
