Software is commoditized now the way publishing was when Wordpress was released. That changed the economics of “big print” and with LLMs driving the cost of writing software close to zero, the economics of “big tech” are bound to change too.

A very happy Diptober & Canadian Thanksgiving weekend to you too 🇨🇦 🦃 📉 

Added payments today to super secret side project :)

Oh just me and my Claude Code sub-agent homies chillin and cooking. Trust me, the tokens are worth it. Gonna add these to FactoryAI's droids now 🚀 

The MCP hype is real. Revamping a project from last year and Claude's Linear MCP integration makes planning work such a breeze. This enables 10-100x productivity for engineers and PMs alike and makes AI generated coding workflows manageable in small chunks 🤯

Binary Search - The Quick & Easy Way! 🚀

1️⃣ Imagine you're looking for a word in a massive dictionary. Flipping through each page? Nah, that's old school. Enter: Binary Search, the smarter way to search! 🕵️‍♂️💡


2️⃣ Step 1: Cut that dictionary in HALF. Looking for 'Zebra'? No need to check 'A-M'. We're only eyeing 'N-Z' now.

The key here is that the dictionary is sorted. Binary search only works on sorted data sets.

Intuitively this should make sense as you know the rough "middle" value

3️⃣ Step 2: Keep splitting! Like a game of 'hot or cold', each step narrows it down. Imagine slicing those dictionary pages like a ninja until you hit the jackpot - your word! 🥷📖


4️⃣ Voila! You've mastered binary search. It's only oh-so-clever assuming the element you're searching for is present in the list! 🌟🚗

In this case, you'll find the word because it's a dictionary and for the sake of this example, let's assume it contains all words ever created!

5️⃣ Binary search isn't just for words. It's a superstar algo, making data hunting in computers a breeze. Any indexing or searching problem in a sorted data set can be solved this way.

It operates on logarithmic runtime & is way more efficient than searching every single element.

🎓 And there you have it, friends! Who knew algorithms could be this fun?

Curious about this art style? I asked ChatGPT to generate images using the "Paper Cut" style.

Binary Search: The Smarter Way to Search

So, I was curious about how those big-brain language models get even smarter with Q learning and A* search. I asked ChatGPT, and here's the lowdown in super simple terms:

Picture this: You're in a video game, right? And your mission is to find some hidden treasure in a maze. Now, imagine Q-learning is like this epic cheat book that knows all the shortcuts to the treasure. Pretty cool, huh?

Here's the deal:

1.  The Maze = The World: In the world of Q-learning, the maze is like, well, everything. Every corner in this maze is a new situation waiting to happen.

2.  Choices Galore: At every turn, you've got choices - go left, right, jump up, or maybe duck. These are your moves in the game.

3.  The Cheat Book (aka Q-Table): Now, think of having this awesome book that's got advice for every spot in the maze. It's like a know-it-all that learns from your past games and tells you which move is the coolest. That's your Q-table.

4.  Smart Moves: Every time you play, this book gets an update. Made a move that got you closer to the treasure? The book remembers it as a top move. Messed up and fell into a trap? The book's like, "Nope, don't do that again." It's always getting wiser.

5.  Mission: Best Path Ever: The whole point is to fill up this book with the best tricks to grab that treasure ASAP. The more you play, the more your cheat book turns into a treasure-finding genius.

So, basically, Q-learning is like having this magical book that learns with you, making you the ultimate gaming champ.

Q-Learning: Unlocking Hidden Treasures

AI Prompt: Generate a photo of planet Jupiter and the Moon next to each other.

Since my phone won't do it justice, I asked ChatGPT to generate a DALL-E image and used the same prompt for Midjourney as well.

Can you guess which is DALL-E vs Midjourney?
