Learning Curves
19-November-2024 By Jeffrey Cooper
This past week has been a cycle of 3 steps forward and 2 steps backward (hence the meandering graphic in the header image). I am getting a good feel for Hyperledger, but it is despite the tools that are needed for it. To learn it, I needed to install quite a few tools on my

All projects in Project52 will be listed in reverse order, with the latest on top. While many projects will have their own blog posts, smaller ones or multiweek subprojects will have some details in this catch-all post. Todos proyectos en Project52 serán listado en orden inverso, con el ultimo en la encima. Mientras muchos proyectos

The Coming Battle of Generative (Dis)Informatio...
8-November-2024 By Jeffrey Cooper
Those who know me know that I take an End State Analysis view of system architecture. I like to look forward, in the early stages of the design cycle, at what I term “the eventual outcome,” or “final state.” I like to project far into the future what might be coming given the arrows of

As I get deeper into Project 52, I am taking on some bigger projects, projects that will span multiple weeks due to their size and complexity. This is such a week (Week 6). This week, I decided to start learning Hyperledger. I chose the header image to visually convey the size and complexity of Hyperledger and

This week for Project52 (Week 5), I decided to add Anthropic’s Claude to the list of LLM’s I’ve integrated with. The AI Assisted Personal Trainer Simulation used OpenAI’s APIs. For this project, I decided I wanted to have ChatGPT and Claude talk to each other, in a back and forth banter. I allow you, the user, to

16-October-2024 By Jeffrey Cooper
I’ve been using Generative AI the past month or so to write code for me. So far, it has been to speed up learning new skills, such as Python, in a targeted way. But this week (Week 4 of Project52) is different. iOS 18 started this. My favorite, if obscure, grocery list app was no

Mandelbrot Explorer
14-October-2024 By Jeffrey Cooper
This week’s project (Week 3) is a standalone Mandelbrot explorer. I had planned to deploy it to AWS, but that will be a future project for now due to a couple of issues and a time crunch. Part of the goal was to continue to explore Python and its vast set of available libraries, and

I’ve been eager to try this for a while, to explore how an LLM, such as ChatGPT, could enhance the gym experience. In particular, I’m keen to explore the potentially useful capabilities of LLMs. This is Week 2 in Project52. To try to pop the hype bubble a bit- this is not intended to show

First Take- Using AI to Learn Python (Week 1)
29-September-2024 By Jeffrey Cooper
As part of my Project52 effort, I want to try out new development tools and learn other skills simultaneously, and where possible, intersect with areas of interest (Spanish, running, music, etc…). For this first project, I decided to learn some Python, but do it using AI to teach me through code generation to actually tackle

Starting this week I am beginning a new initiative that I call Project52 (P52). The purpose is to create a focal point in which to structure discovery projects and stoke creativity- more on that in a minute. The release cadence of these projects, which will be public whenever possible, will be approximately weekly. Some projects
