Using OpenAI Function Calling to have agents interact with your own API

August 2, 2023 by yer.ac

As of June 2023, function calling was added to the OpenAI API when using the /v1/chat/completions endpoint in GPT4 & GPT3.5 turbo. Function calling is the ability for developers to describe functions to the model, make calls out to external APIs and infer from input if a function call needs to be made, and if …

Polymorphic Serialization & Deserialziation of Interface implementations in dotnet

March 24, 2023 by yer.ac

I will preface this by saying this is not a brilliant idea, as you lose the benefit of a descriptive model (especially in swagger), and its somewhat brittle if you add more types. Honestly it started as a “It would be nice if I could do this in this scenario..” and just went down the …

October 6, 2021 by yer.ac

We run our own nuget feed via Azure, and despite the user that’s logged into VS is authenticated users are constantly asked to provide their credentials again when package restore is happening.

February 7, 2020 by yer.ac

Keeping up with a recent binge upgrading projects, including upgrading all my projects in a solution to 4.8, I have been upgrading nuget packages.

Include both Nuget Package References and project reference DLL using “dotnet pack” 📦

October 15, 2019 by yer.ac

Recently I have been trying to generate more Nuget packages for our dotnet core projects, utilizing the dotnet pack command. One issue I have been encountering is that the command was either referencing the required nuget packages, or the project reference DLLs, never both. The current problem. If you have Project A which has a …

July 31, 2019 by yer.ac

Azure DevOps has brilliant build pipeline options and as easy as it is to get set up with their hosted build agents, it can get quite costly rather quick. In this post I cover off setting up a self-hosted build agent for use with Azure. This post won’t cover setting up the build box, but …

Unshelving TFS changes into another branch (VS 2017)

June 17, 2020 by yer.ac

EDIT: This was updated from an original article on 2013/15. There is an additional pre-requisite below (See red) for doing this with 2017/19. I had some pending changes recently on the wrong branch within TFS in Visual Studio 2017. Rather than clone all my changes in the other branch, I wanted to “migrate” my changes. …
