I've finished watching the Fine-Tuning Open Source Large Language Models course (4 hours). It was a very good refreshment of what I was doing with sentence embeddings plus some recent things that I missed or didn't have time to pursue while practicing. credly.com/badges/1ec0eea…

A reminder that today is the last day of St. Patrick's Day sale: patterndiagnostics.com/stpatrick-sale

On this St. Patrick's Day, I recall that last Summer, in People's Park, Dún Laoghaire, Sunday market, I finally got my review copy of "Come Along to Ireland," which was published shortly after I was born, and I consider it an invitation that I accepted only 25 years ago. The book is richly illustrated with many large B/W photographs from that era.

Cool, I've just noticed that the latest version of WinDbg now downloads source code from GitHub if available (perhaps mediated by MS symbol server). Not sure about previous versions; this never happened automatically before.

I've finished watching Advanced Python: Functional Programming (5 hours) - all good stuff and terminology in the context of Python that in the past I learned first in the context of Scala and Haskell, and then transfer-learned to C++. There was a good discussion of property-based testing at the end of the course. credly.com/badges/58fecb1…

Today, on 23 February old style (1917), in Russia, the February Bourgeois Democratic Revolution began (8 March new style), which should be called the March Revolution. Somehow, I have never thought about it in the light of International Women's Day. But it was indeed ignited by protesters celebrating this day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_…
