Da ich schon seit einiger Zeit Alternativen für private Chats teste um endlich aus WhatsApp rauszukommen, hier mal ein kurzer Überblick für Nicht-Techies mit Links zu weiteren Infos.

Here is the kind of AI product framing we sometimes get from Big Tech, their VCs and supporters: someone uses AI through a deeply human moment (grief, illness, loss) and finds unexpected comfort in it.

Most AI sessions at companies fall into one of three traps: the hype talk that leaves everyone inspired for 20 minutes and back to normal by Monday, the generic training that doesn’t match your reality, or the “just try ChatGPT” approach with no structure…

Running LLMs locally is amazing, but choosing which model to actually use?

Für alle, die tiefer in die Technologie aktueller KI-Modelle eintauchen wollen: Mein PyTorch-Buch über die Implementierung von Deep Learning für Bilderkennung bis hin zu Transformern wie GPT ist jetzt kostenlos verfügbar: https://www.aiworkshops.eu/de/pag…

In two weeks I’ll be heading to Brussels for FOSDEM 2026!

Ich hab so am Rande mitbekommen, dass der CCC auf dem 39C3 den “Digital Independence Day” ausgerufen hat.

Really happy to announce that my Deep Learning course with PyTorch is now live at Tech Academy!

Today I was curious about the API costs for Claude Code, so I tried to implement a new feature in the Nodehaus AI Platform.

Just launched a new workshop: “AI Technologies for Backend and Full-Stack Developers”.

Own Your AI.

The first reviews of NVIDIA DGX Spark review are being published, so I want to write about the current state of self-hosting LLMs.

I’ve been using Claude Code to build a Go API with hexagonal architecture, and I’m genuinely impressed.

While everyone’s focused on making models bigger, this paper makes a compelling case for going smaller—especially for agentic AI systems.

This Thursday, today, I am happy to give a talk about multilingual agents and their performance on European languages at the AI Agent World Tour: Lisbon MLOps Meetup.

We published an article today about our multilingual evaluation of smaller LLMs using the belebele dataset.

I started to play around with NixOS a few weeks ago and until now I am quite happy with it.

BrickBand was a follow-up of my Lego Coding idea, using bricks to create patterns for music.

This article was published on Hacker News today, a good overview and criticism of the current hype around NLP and speech-to-text in general.

After reading the millionth “Corona and the future of work” post you might actually want to go to hibernate mode and wake up after everything settled to see that nothing changed.

Here is my talk “Poio Predictive Text - Grassroots Technology for Langage Diversity” at the Coding For Language Communities Devroom at FOSDEM 2020.

Around a month ago I published a post about my Angular Seed Project with Firebase.

I am happy to announce my next public Angular workshop, at the http://tugait.pt/2017/.

To learn more about Firebase, and specifically how to connect an Angular application to it, I started to implement a little seed project that provides basic functionality to register users via e-mail/password combination and let them login to a profile pa…

It’s Angular Meetup time in Lisbon again!

Next week I will be giving a talk at the LXJS Meetup at Uniplaces in Lisbon, about “Rapid cross-platform development with Angular 2”.

Vor zwei Wochen habe ich in Lissabon einen Vortrag über die Migration von Angular 1 nach Angular 2 gehalten.

I am using the UI Bootstrap Angular directives, specifically the accordion directive, within one of our projects at MAJ Digital.

Next week I will be giving a talk at the AngularJS Portugal Meetup, about porting an app from Angular 1 to Angular 2.

There is currently a lot of talk about the problems of the current JavaScript ecosystem, only sometimes there are also solutions mentioned.

“[…] the IT industry, software giants and online service providers are on a crusade to get rid of the word USER per se.

Time for the next Qt Meetup Lisbon, this time it will be a casual meeting in a beautiful location: http://www.meetup.com/Qt-Meetup-Lisbon/events/225120324/ Taking place September 29th, 19:00, at the Quiosque do Miradouro de Santa Catarina.

I while ago I published a first version of my Buildroot configuration for Embedded Qt development.

Watch Die Brummbeere in action.

Will you be in Lisbon midth of July and want to learn more about Qt on embedded devices?

I already posted about my project Die Brummbeere, an ownCloud music player built with Qt.

For my hardware project Die Brummbeere I started to work with buildroot a lot.

I recently published here a short post about TwoMusic, an open source music player for ownCloud.

I changed the way I receive webmentions last week, and could finally test it yesterday together with Pierre at the Internet Freedom Lisbon Meetup.

I started to work a new Qt application recently, a music player for ownCloud.

Ich versuche gerade mich in das Thema Raytraching bzw.

This blog is now part of the IndieWeb, “a people-focused alternative to the ‘corporate web’”.

It’s been I while since I used OpenGL with PyQt, for example in my live coding experiments with GLSL shaders.

I recently began to implement some game prototypes with the help of Kivy, a very interesting Python library originally developed to prototype innovative user interfaces.

Our talk at Codebits 2014.

An event that I try to to visit every year here in Portugal is Codebits.

Swadesh viewer for dictionary data In this tutorial we will demonstrate how to extract entries that contain words from a Swadesh list from data in digitized dictionaries.
