Event Type: jam
Organized By: MindView - Bruce Eckel
Latest Activity: Feb 23, 2009
The Flex Jam is "An Exploration of Flex & AIR Programming". It's a MindView event. There's an book you may want to check out in advance of the Jam - it's called "First Steps in Flex". And, there's a group here at Codetown dedicated to Flex called The Flex Loft. What's a Jam? A software jam is a lab-based workshop experience, where you can:
* Have space and time to focus on learning.
* Decide whether you want to work on your own projects or the supplied programming exercises.
* Work alone or in a group.
* Set your own pace, so that you can "go deep" in areas that are important to you.
* Get guidance from an instructor, as needed.
This is going to be a cool event. Check it out at the Mindview website.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Phil Calçado, CEO of Outropy, shared key insights at the InfoQ Dev Summit on scaling generative AI products. He highlighted the need for effective workflows and agents in AI development, advocating for iterative approaches that leverage proven software engineering principles. His insights promise to guide teams in building resilient AI systems without reinventing the wheel.
By Andrew HoblitzellRecently open-sourced by Google, the Agent2Agent protocol is now part of the Linux Foundation, along with its accompanying SDKs and developer tools.
By Sergio De SimoneApple Machine Learning Research published a paper titled "The Illusion of Thinking," which investigates the abilities of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) on a set of puzzles. As the complexity of the puzzles increases, the researchers found that LRMs encounter a "collapse" threshold where the models reduce their reasoning effort, indicating a limit to the models' scalability.
By Anthony AlfordDenys Linkov shares lessons on preventing LLM production issues. He explains the flaws of single metrics, the importance of treating models as observable systems, building user-issue-alerting metrics, and focusing on business value. He emphasizes a "crawl, walk, run" approach to LLM metric maturity for successful, trust-building deployments.
By Denys LinkovGoogle DeepMind has announced the release of AlphaGenome, a new AI model designed to predict how genetic variants affect gene regulation across the entire genome. It represents a significant advancement in computational genomics by integrating long-range sequence context with base-pair resolution in a single, general-purpose architecture.
