Personal life

I skipped last week, since I was on holiday. The weather was not nice to us, it rained three out of five days, but we had time to relax, eat good food, drink good wine (Friulano rules!), and spend more time with our dogs, without thinking too much about the troubles of our daily lives.

Work

I'm still thinking about my future. I'm digging into different directions:

Still toying with ML

I'm continuing my studies on ML, the only downside is having to deal with Python. I know there are a lot of different possibilities out there: Noj for Clojure, JuliaML for Julia, deeplearning4j for Java…

I first need to wrap my head around the different ML possibilities (data massaging, techniques, algorithms…) and then I'll try to migrate some of my experiments to other languages.

Vibecoding

I don't exactly 'vibecode', but in the last couple of months I've used LLM (Gemini and Claude) as a rubber duck. I never completely trust the output, so I always check the sources if possible, and keep reading the documentation to understand what the suggested code does. Although LLMs can seem all-knowing, their knowledge is often outdated, and they get confused easily in a long and complex chat.
