Learn more about GPT or AI

Hey everyone!

Have you been hearing the whispers? The buzz? About something called "AI" or "GPT"? If you haven't, you need to pay attention, because it feels like something really, really big is happening right now with computers and writing.

Just a few months ago, in late 2019, folks were talking about a new kind of computer program called "GPT-2". And wow, what it can do is kinda mind-blowing!

I was reading some super cool blogs and articles, and they were all showing off how this GPT-2 could *write*! Like, real sentences, real paragraphs. It wasn't perfect, but it was so much better than anything we've seen before.

One blog I saw, from Bitvore, showed how it could make up news stories. Can you imagine a computer writing news?

Another amazing one was "The Illustrated GPT-2" by Jay Alammar. He showed pictures to help explain how this "Transformer" brain works. It made me feel like I could almost understand the magic!

And there was this really interesting person named Gwern Branwen who was using it to write poems and stories. It felt a bit strange, like the computer was trying to be creative. It’s wild!

Some smart marketing people were even trying to see if GPT-2 could write ads! While it wasn't going to replace humans overnight (yet!), the fact that it could even try was a huge deal.

What does this mean for us? Well, think about it:

  • Maybe computers will help us write emails faster.
  • Maybe they can help us brainstorm ideas for stories or projects.
  • It could even help programmers write code!

It's like a computer that can understand and create text. It's not just following rules; it's learning from tons and tons of books and websites!

I know it all sounds a bit like science fiction, but these blog posts from just last year showed it’s real. This "GPT" thing, whatever it fully becomes, feels like the start of something truly amazing. Keep your eyes peeled!

What do you think? Have you heard about GPT-2? Let me know in the comments!

MDK Hospital opened in Horana

Image
Horana is getting a brand new private hospital! The M.D.K Healthcare Center & Hospital has just opened its doors on Anguruwathota Road, right next to the HNB bank branch. For years, many had to travel to Colombo for certain medical treatments, but hopes with new private hospital this will change. This new hospital, built by local businessman Mr. M.D. Piyananda Kularathna, comes with all the modern medical equipment we've been hoping for. It's wonderful to see such a major investment in Horana community's health. To makes this even better, I hope they have brought in highly skilled doctors and medical staff. No more long trips to Colombo for routine treatments! The hospital looks quite impressive too - modern and clean, just what you'd expect from a proper healthcare centre. The location is perfect as well. Being on Anguruwathota Road means it's easy to find and get to, whether you're coming from the town centre or surrounding areas. I've already notice...

Flyway in Spring Boot and Gradle: flyway-core vs Flyway Gradle Plugin

 Have you ever wondered about the best way to integrate Flyway into your Gradle project? Let me break it down into two main approaches: using Flyway as a dependency and applying the Flyway plugin . The Dependency Approach: implementation 'org.flywaydb:flyway-core' Adding Flyway as a dependency essentially embeds it within your application. Think of it as equipping your application with a built-in toolbox to handle database changes during runtime. This approach is ideal when you want your application to take charge of migrations. When to Use It Your application needs to manage database changes while it’s running. You’re working with a Spring Boot application that integrates seamlessly with Flyway. Key Features Spring Boot Auto-Configuration: Spring Boot automatically detects the Flyway dependency and configures it. You can custo...
