@burger_jaap@mastodon.socialSwitzerland’s practical experience with dynamic (grid) tariffs is driving standardisation, for example in tariff structures and APIs for automation. Other countries can learn from this.

@migueldeicaza@mastodon.socialI am ready to be infused with new APIs.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioRE: https://mastodon.social/@glyph/116788242133509166
It's inherent to LLMs that they produce garbage—it's not fixable, because text generation based on statistics has no concept of right or wrong or true or false.
Therefore it's only (partially) useful in a small subset of use cases that have other ways of enforcing veracity—namely programming, by literally looping over itself until the code is syntactically correct, it doesn't call non-existing APIs and the expected output for a specific input happens.*
Even then the code may 1. only cover the specific test cases asked of the LLM and fail for others or 2. the LLM may get stuck in an endless loop if it can't get the code to run or work.
*The programming use case also has a lot of other intrinsic and extrinsic factors that make it work better than most other text generation applications; for example a large amount of training data of mostly working code and that the languages being generated are both many orders of magnitude simpler in structure than human languages and mathematically unambiguous.**
**Except for Perl of course

@jerome@jasette.facil.servicesI recently discovered a set of geocoder RESTful APIs by the City of Toronto.
They are free, no authentication needed, but also not documented anywhere.
Until now!

@gwire@mastodon.socialI did a short talk at work a few weeks ago that was basically "if AI is going to be used by users, any commitment to energy sustainability implies reducing the resource cost of AI - and that means good public documentation and comprehensive APIs."
Wish I'd have included some of the figures involved:

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeContinuing to make progress on the new input validation flow.
Anybody have feedback? I'm open to tweaking the UI although I think the backend APIs and data model are reasonably final

See, files were not the best of ideas, neither do I think every damn thing should be abstracted as a file, nor are the APIs that great. Sorry folks.

Mir ist beim iOS-Programmieren wieder klar geworden: das ist auch alles nicht mehr wie meine ersten BASIC-Experimente auf dem KC85-3. Eine App zu machen besteht am Anfang nur daraus, sich in die riesigen Frameworks und APIs einzuarbeiten und dann auf irgendwelche Knöpfe zu drücken (hence LLMs).

@michabbb@social.vivaldi.net⚠️ Current drawbacks: still public preview, APIs may change, Node.js 22 required & local mock implementations may behave differently from real AWS resources

@frankel@mastodon.topBefore working for 2 years on the Apache APISIX API gateway, I was mainly oblivious to API gateways. It’s only by working with them that I understood their value. Decoupling the client and the server unlocks a lot of options: moving authentication to the API Gateway, securing APIs, deduplicating API requests, etc.
In this post, I want to describe how the same pattern applies to #AI.
@gwire@mastodon.socialGOV.UK Pay is replacing Stripe with Dutch fintech Adyen.
I assume they're going to be supporting the new Open Banking APIs in the near future.

https://vaadin.com/blog/vaadin-25-2-release
@tomkalei@machteburch.socialProgramming got insanely complicated since we don't need to type in the code anymore. All the time I have to think about design, ui and what I actually want the computer to do. So much harder than just reading manuals and figuring out APIs...
@frankel@mastodon.topAfter more than 20 years working with #Java, I learn APIs introduced in JDK 1.4.
You can chain exceptions with #Throwable.initCause(), even if the designer didn't provide a relevant constructor.
@michabbb@social.vivaldi.net🔄 On deployment, the same APIs map automatically to real AWS services like #Lambda, #DynamoDB, #Aurora, #APIGateway
