You can extend Copilot CLI with any UI you want - here’s how! youtu.be/HcjUnrS41II

Something I didn’t expect to see - an updated release of knockout.js: github.com/knockout/knockout…

youtu.be/L1w6wBxhpgE?si=eZxt… (from last month, but many parts are still true!)

As of 5 minutes ago, Copilot SDK's Node/.NET/Python packages now auto-bundle Copilot CLI in your build output. It means apps built on Copilot SDK don't have to worry about deploying Copilot CLI manually, and version mismatches are no longer possible. github.com/github/copilot-sd…

Just published: new AI Chat Web App template Been wondering how to get started with .NET and AI? Well here’s one easy option! It takes in knowledge from your own data sources, gives citations, and runs AI inference on GitHub Models (free) by default. devblogs.microsoft.com/dotne…

OpenAI and Azure OpenAI recently released “realtime” APIs. Let’s experiment! Can we build a new kind of voice-based UI experience? youtu.be/H4BEF-VSDXQ?si=sN9w…

Seems that neverssl.com is now served with… you guessed it… SSL?

Hyperlight, a library for micro VMs, has just been open-sourced: github.com/hyperlight-dev… I worked with getting .NET to run on wasm inside this a while back. It’s still bleeding edge, but with work you can start up lightweight hardware-isolated tasks incredibly fast.

Introducing Microsoft.AI.Extensions - a library to streamline use of AI in .NET apps. Glad to see this go live today! The library is something I and a few smart people have been working on in recent months. devblogs.microsoft.com/dotne…

Today, the 646th day of Wordle, I finally guessed it on the first go.

The OpenAI API accepts a parameter “n” that can make it return multiple choices of completions instead of a single completion. What is the point of this? Does anyone ever use this option? What for? How does your app code then decide which of the results to use?

We just published github.com/dotnet/eShopSuppo…, a .NET sample app that brings AI into the world of eShop. Includes examples of summarisation, classification, semantic search, and a Q&A bot (including local models). It’s the demo app we used in talks such as youtube.com/watch?v=pM9bTeaa…

Smart Components are sample components that help you add AI features easily and conveniently to Blazor, MVC, and Razor Pages apps … and at last they are now open source: github.com/dotnet/smartcompo…

Guess the event

I’ll be talking about AI app development with Aspire starting in 5 mins

Had a dream that Teams added ad breaks into meetings. At first we were furious, but then we all got used to it.

Why, @amazon, why? What do you know that I don’t?

Taking apart the coffee grinder to clean all the parts makes me feel like one of those basement obsessives ritualistically reassembling guns. At least, it’s the software dev equivalent.

Thinking of pitching a reality TV show, “Is it Hake?” in which contestants make realistic objects out of fish.

Starting now!
