Links For You (12/14/24)

/ / No Comments
Good morning folks, as I shared yesterday, this week has been a bit rough as I found out my job was eliminated at Adobe, but the outpouring of support, and links to jobs, has been overwhelming. You people are pretty darn good, you know what? I’m confident I’m going to be able to land a good job, but at the same time, it’s going to be a heck of a lot less stressful once I actually do. On top of that, I’ve got a head cold, which is annoying af as the kids say, but, I’m alive, surrounded by people who love me, well fed and warm, so all things considered, I’m pretty dang lucky. Let’s get to the link. AI in the Browser – A Playlist A month or so ago,... more →

Using Transformers.js for AI in the Browser

/ / No Comments
Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending, and speaking at, connect.tech. One of the cooler presentations I saw was from Danielle Maxwell where she discussed usingAI in the browser and introduced me to Transformers.js. I’d heard of this before, but wasn’t quite aware of how easy it was to use. While this isn’t necessarily going to replace a "real" GenAI server, it does feel compelling enough to something to consider. As my readers know, I’ve been playing with Chrome’s attempt to bake this in as well, and while that’s not quite ready for real use yet, Transformers.js feels like something you could play with right now. How to get started? Using... more →

Next Code Break – December 5th

/ / No Comments
Hey folks, just a quick note. My next Code Break show will be this Thursday, December 5th, at 12PM CST. I apologize for the randomness of these sessions. My goal in 2025 is to get them a bit more consistent. We’ll see how well that works out. 😉 To RSVP for the next show, head over to https://cfe.dev/talkshows/codebreak-12052024/. I’ll be doing more building on a blog with Eleventy. I’m also hoping to have another session later in the month! Raymond Camden… more →

Links For You (11/30/24)

/ / No Comments
Hello folks – I’m a week or so behind on my schedule for these posts, but the last few weeks have been incredibly hectic. I had 5 or so (I’ve lost track honestly) online presentations and one in-person event at connect.tech, and of course, this week was Thanksgiving. I’m also behind on scheduling for my <Code><Br> show, which I hope to fix up later today. I wish I could look forward to things get less busy, but the next few weeks will be busy as well! I’ve got two upcoming presentations on Gen AI coming up! Ok, enough whining, let me share some links! Avoid Amazon’s Echo Show In theory you can stop reading at the title, Please don’t buy an... more →

Using Generative AI to Parse Web Pages into Data

/ / No Comments
A few months back, I took a look at using JSON-LD to turn a recipe web page into pure data: Scraping Recipes Using Node.js, Pipedream, and JSON-LD. This relied on a recipe actually using JSON-LD in the header to describe itself, which is pretty common for SEO purposes. Still, I was curious as to how well generative AI could solve this problem. In theory, this could be a good ‘backup’ in cases where a site wasn’t using JSON-LD and a general exploration of ‘parsing’ a web page into data. I’ll be using Google Gemini again, but in theory, this demo would work in other services as well. Here’s what I found. Converting a Web Page into Structured Data In order... more →

Using Your Favicon for Monitoring Long Processes

/ / No Comments
A week or so ago, I was doing some tests on Google Colab and noticed something interesting. The notebook I was using was one that took one to two minutes to process. Before I’d start the process, the favicon looked like so: After kicking off the workflow, the favicon changed like so: To be honest, I had not noticed it earlier, but I only fairly recently started using a somewhat ‘slow’ notebook so it’s possible I just didn’t need it before. Realizing how it’s being used now, I thought it was an excellent user experience feature and looked into how to use it in my own applications. Changing the Favicon Ok, so this part is stupid easy. Assuming you’ve... more →

Intl is your Superhero

/ / No Comments
Last week I had the pleasure of presenting at the Mid-Michigan ColdFusion Users Group on the topic of Intl, the web platforms internationalization spec. I gave this presentation again this week at connect.tech as well. I greatly enjoyed working on this deck as I’ve been using Intl for a while, but had not had the opportunity to look into every nook and cranny. The slide deck may be found here https://github.com/cfjedimaster/intl-is-your-superhero/ and viewed online at https://cfjedimaster.github.io/intl-is-your-superhero/decks/main/. The demos are all up on CodePen within one collection, which you can peruse here: https://codepen.io/collection/oEKOwR And then finally, if you love hearing... more →
