- Dan Schlesinger: Intro to AI Text Generation — The text generation API is backed by a large-scale unsupervised language model that can generate paragraphs of text. This is a transformer-based LLM, which intakes a sentence or partial sentence and predicts subsequent text from that input.
- Brendan Kidwell: Quick-Access Calculator, Tool, and Database Web Sites — A quick tour through online tools that solve problems quickly, with no auto-play videos, no click-bait headlines, and no account logins. Negotiate a meeting in 2 or 3 time zones; find a hiking route to a point of interest; the clearest weather forecast tool; calculate geometry, physics, and unit conversion problems; and more.
- Hank Kee: Funky Digital Camera Stocking Stuffers for the Holidays — A Change of Pace of Retro, Inexpensive, and Innovative Funky Cameras to Make Photography Fun [Again].
