The average cost of a Big Mac in the United States is approximately $5.15. The federal minimum wage is $7.25. That is absurd.

One more reason I am working on something that explores ideas in ai generated content for pragmatic devs

Maybe it’s a me thing - but the more I see AI based tools for creative content generation (e.g doodling) the more I want to start a channel where I just livestream myself doing sketchnote comics while listening to reggaeton on my headphones! I hope there’s always room for the edge cases 😁❤️

The best way to improve your writing is not always to write more. It's often to reread more. Instead of just enjoying the content, study the form. Pay attention to how your favorite authors set up ideas, structure paragraphs, and shape sentences. Role models elevate art.

Got a chance to check out the ‘Make a postcard with Trustworthy AI’ booth before the crowds file in. A great use of AI to create an image of you based on your personalized prompt with Microsoft Designer. Let me say that it did a good enough job that you will recognize me by the outfit at least 😁

Nitya Narasimhan, PhD 🗽 @nitya.dev · 03/12/2024

I’ll walk you through the steps to build a custom retail copilot for first on Azure AI Foundry- and give you a sandbox that you can take back home and revisit on your own to explore optional ideas or dive deeper into the details behind the development! aka.ms/aitour/WRK550 #MSAITour #MSFTAdvocate

As an illustrator myself this large visual story was the perfect welcome to the Toronto Metro Convention center where the #MSAITour kicks off today! Join us for a packed day of labs, talks, hub demos and discussion- all kicking off with a keynote this morning! Fine me for 2X lab sessions 12-3:30pm

Also finding myself dealing with the paradox of wanting to restore that feeling of connectedness on this network - while also dealing with the inner voice that says ‘how do we know this time will last?’ I am excited though - gives us a chance to rediscover the long tail of past networks

Nitya Narasimhan, PhD 🗽 @nitya.dev · 02/12/2024

Also good morning Toronto!! Here for the Microsoft AI Tour where I will be delivering two lab sessions on building RAG based copilots code-first on Azure AI Foundry. It’s an advanced lab that has evolved over nearly a year with thousands of devs skilled. The best part? Conversations with community!

I first moved to Chicago over two decades ago - and one of the images that remains in my mind to this day is the sculptures that dot the downtown area - there’s a Picasso somewhere but Alexander Calder’s Flamingo will forever be my favorite! It’s grace forged with a steely backbone! Had to stop by!

Oh it was - and for the day before a conference it was super busy!! Are you here too?

Nitya Narasimhan, PhD 🗽 @nitya.dev · 18/11/2024

Okay this is the day before the #MSIgnite conference and the registration line is already wrapping around a few times! Forgot what conferences of this size feel like #CommunityRocks I’m excited now - wishing we had more time to show more cool things ❤️

Get you a hotel where you call to see if they have coffee for a late night sprint - and they deliver a Nespresso machine to your room with enough pods & creamers to power you through a couple of hours. ❤️ Sure I’ll regret it in the morning but it was good coffee

That’s actually the tunnel connecting two United terminals at O Hare - you need to go underground and the get back up to the ground level for baggage claim. It’s got lights coordinated with music and it’s quite the trip

Reminded today it took women 100+ years to win the right to vote (on Aug 18, 1920). Something current generations (including mine) just view as the norm. The takeaway is - things won't always go your way but for the things that matter, keep focus on long-term goals. Also 18-19-20. Numerology 😍

Okay .. the UI/UX shows Lists are created primarily to enable 'Muting' of listed people by anyone subscribing to it (simplifying community-level moderation with some privacy preservation) I was hoping to also get thr list-as-tweetdeck-column usage where I can contextualize follows & conversations

the logic around the shared block list is that some user or org or etc can create a layer of indirection and maintain these lists, almost like an adblocking filter-list service does multiple people then subscribe to these shared lists, making them a preference of the community, not just one person
