Considering moving from Comcast to YouTube TV. I suspect it's not going to be easy to figure out all up pricing given bundles in play, etc.

Finally tried a voice conversation with ChatGPT on my drive to the office. Asked about reinforcement learning and ended up with a great chat that gave me a much clearer picture of it and related areas. Really pretty amazing. It really felt like just having someone sitting next to me.

I wish Word supported Markdown. I'd love to have all of the collaboration and review support Word has but on Markdown files. I've heard there are extensions but that feels like a non-starter given how I'd mostly want it for collaboration with others.

This weekend's project was a Python script I can use to finally rename years of photos and videos taken on our phones based on their EXIF data so they're sorted correctly and far easier to navigate and organize. github.com/gusper/Phone...

GitHub - gusper/PhoneMediaFileRenamer: A Python script that renames media files (photos and videos) based on their "Date taken" metadata from EXIF data and video metadata.

Hey so Visual Studio 2026 Insiders is out, and it's very exciting, but if you edit Razor files I have a personal favour to ask. For the last ~18 months I, and a few of my friends, have been working on a new foundation for the Razor editor called "Cohosting". I'd love for you to try it out.
