After 15 years as Boston Azure, as of 2025 we are now Boston Azure AI - @bostonazureai. This reflects our focus on #AI and #LLM topics + #Azure is still there. Also venturing into hands-on #AI C# + @SemanticKernel + #AzureOpenAI coding workshops. Details: bit.ly/40FRbRu

Really great articulation around startup moats and defensibility. #recommend

Introducing Copilot Chronicle! This new feature in GitHub Copilot indexes all your messages and turns locally in SQLite so you can talk to your coding history and learn how you work *and* more importantly, how you can improve! Live demo ->

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

Just blogged some details about our #AgentFramework workshop we held yesterday: jasonhaley.com/2026/01/17/age… @nhcloud @codingoutloud @bostonazureai

Three years ago, a million tokens of AI inference cost $60. Today? Six cents. A 99.9% cost collapse. When something this powerful becomes this cheap, it doesn’t stay confined to research labs, It is able to flood the economy. AI is now diffusing faster than any technology in history — into every industry, every workflow, every device; 800 million people use ChatGPT weekly. And we’re still nowhere near the high-water mark of what’s possible. The real story is diffusion and ubiquity. Can intelligence become a utility — cheap, improving, self-learning, and embedded everywhere? Because in a geopolitical contest defined by capability and speed, the nation that diffuses intelligence the fastest, across government, industry, and society, will gain an extraordinary advantage.

@MassSave I had heatpump installed via Mass Save-approved contractor. The unit recently fell off back of my house for no apparent reason. I would like to get copy of 2024 inspection report from @CMCEnergy. I am not getting reply from 800-989-8132. What is best way to get this?
