A Fitness Discussion with MyAI about Silos, Running, Cycling, and Strava
Reading Time: 4 minutesYears ago we had bulky GPS watches that we wore only when we were hiking or doing sports. They only tracked our speed, location, and elevation. With time they were made less hideous and more socially acceptable. We could go from wearing them when doing sports, to when doing nothing. With time…

Refactoring Eleventy with Swisscom MyAI
Reading Time: 3 minutesYesterday afternoon I decided to experiment with MyAI and Eleventy because I was getting an error message. The issue is that when I refactored my Eleventy files with Gemini it removed code that broke the build process. I asked MyAI for help and it went beyond what I asked of it. Specifically,…

On AI Coding Tools and why Freemium Apps Still Have a Future
Reading Time: 2 minutesNine to Five Mac wrote an article about "AI coding tools may be the end of freemium utility apps".

A discussion with Gemini about Google AI Plus
Reading Time: 2 minutesLast night and this morning I have been toying with the idea of the paid tiers and whether they’re worth it. In the proces I told Gemini about my context and it went from advising me the pro tier at 170 CHF per year, to going for the "free" Google AI studio…

Sorting Photoprism Photos With the Mistral Cat
Reading Time: 3 minutesI chose to experiment with Le Chat by Mistral, the French AI alternative to Gemini, Claude and CatIFARTED (ChatGPT). For the experiment I copied my Photoprism photos from the drive I use that is connected a Raspberry pi to a laptop before running scripts to sort and remove duplicates. It worked well,…
