The recent drama at OpenAI shed light on Microsoft’s substantial investment in GPT and its derivatives, powering the expanding Copilot family. These generative AI capabilities, central to natural language interfaces, provide language understanding, summaries, and user-centric text outputs. As Copilots proliferate across Microsoft’s platforms, the next question is: How can we integrate them into our code? Previously, we explored Azure AI Studio for direct access to machine learning models. Now, let’s delve into Copilot Studio, Microsoft’s low-code AI development tool, designed for users beyond experienced developers and data scientists. For those not versed in traditional development tools, Microsoft’s Power Platform,…
In December 2022, amid a two-week simulated Mars mission, the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the Utah desert faced an unexpected challenge that could have jeopardized two years of meticulous scientific preparation. The habitat’s RV-style latrine, a crucial component of the analog astronauts’ isolated living conditions, became clogged, releasing an unpleasant stench that echoed the challenges of real-life space missions. The choice to resist the urge to call a plumber in the remote Utah desert showcased the commitment of the “analog astronauts” to the mission’s authenticity. In a remarkable twist, Barbara Braun, the mission’s health and safety officer, emerged…
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the prowess of ChatGPT extends to answering queries across a spectrum of subjects, including the intricacies of R programming. This accessibility democratizes the power of large language models (LLMs), making it available to every R programmer, irrespective of their familiarity with these advanced linguistic tools. As an ecosystem takes shape around the synergy of ChatGPT and R, integrating AI technology seamlessly into the R language workflow becomes increasingly feasible. However, this amalgamation comes with its nuances and considerations, laying the groundwork for a robust understanding before venturing into the realm of LLMs for R…
