Welcome back  "Wrench's Gadgets & Hacks" where we explore the latest in technology and innovation. In this episode host Carl Storms dives into the world of AI in software development and the AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations) industry with special guest Valentin Noves. They explore the practical applications of AI, the challenges faced by developers, and the future of AI in coding and beyond.

Key Discussion Points:

  1. AI in Software Development:
    • Valentin and Carl discussed how AI tools like Copilot and Codeium are used in software development. They noted that junior developers tend to use these tools more frequently than senior developers, especially when dealing with complex coding problems.
  2. Training and Learning with AI:
    • Valentin emphasized the usefulness of AI as a training tool, highlighting how it can help developers quickly learn and solve specific problems without sifting through extensive tutorials.
  3. Custom AI Models:
    • Creating custom AI models was discussed, with Valentine explaining the challenges related to data quality and quantity. He shared an example of an experimental project where they tried to use AI for construction schedules and found limitations due to insufficient data.
  4. Future of AI in AECO:
    • Valentine shared his views on the potential of AI to automate and enhance various aspects of the AECO industry. He stressed the importance of finding a balance between using AI tools and traditional methods.
  5. Fun with AI:
    • Valentin recounted experimental projects like translating city images into music and creating ontologies for building IoT device placement. These projects, while experimental, showcased the creative and fun side of working with AI.

Join us for this insightful conversation as we jump into the world of AI from the software developers side and its potential in the AECO industry and beyond.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
