Check out https://github.com/rabidgremlin/Mutters It uses ML to figure out the "intent" of what the user has said (using a document classifier) and named entity recognition (NER) to extract data from the text

The bot I have been working on uses bag of words and n-grams to identify intents. Useful for when someone says something that may have multiple entities of the same type. For instance a journey start and end point. Can use the "from&qu

I use an S3 bucket. I have a Docker image that pulls Markdown out of git, runs Hugo over it and pushes the site to an S3 bucket. I set it up to work with Bitbucket pipelines so I get a site rebuild with a simple git push: https:/&#x2F

Sure... somewhere I have book that covered writing a full blown multi-threading "OS" in Turbo Pascal. In the late 80's I wrote a framework that allowed multi-user games (via dial-up) to be created. Included 256 color graphics

Along similar lines I have been playing with Bitbucket Pipelines and Hugo to build static websites on commit and deploy them to S3 buckets. Really like the way they use docker containers as build agents, it's very tidy: https:/&#

Totally.. he even invented the company "Ackson" (for Ackerman & Son) and the company logo you can see in the corner of the main screen (him and I holding hands). He is a pretty awesome kid :)
