Weekly tech - January 6th 2024
Is censorship dead? Ollama and a new local cache not to mention local RAG with SQLite and a bit of nostalgia thanks to Python, ready to start the year?
Welcome everyone, hope you’re all fine?
A new year just started so, let’s start it correctly, happy new year everyone and best wishes for this year, I hope this year will be successful for you and your family.
Well, first week of the year, first “weekly tech”, this week, it will be soft and easy in order to start progressively, more topics will be introduced next week and later, ready to start?
First things first, let’s talk about LLVM (the general toolbox handled by Nikita that you maybe know from PHP), the next thing is a video about time in real world and in computers (really interesting as the subject is not regularly discussed, we often think in term of clock cycles but not about milliseconds / nanoseconds), last one is related to censorship and how X has changed the rules of the game.
Culture générale
Business as usual with machine learning and a really great video about how we can optimize Ollama ressources usage (thanks to K/V cache), you can also read more about building a RAG pipeline using Ollama and Turso, the SQLite fork (more about this one later this year).
Machine learning
Last part of this weekly tech with tools and especially Monolith, a CLI to download websites as a single HTML files (along with CSS / JS files), depending on the website that you want to download, some assets (mostly the ones stored in CDN) could lead to issues, hope it’ll be fixed soon, you can also discover Pyxel, a small game engine built on top of Python and suited for retro games (the good old days as we often say).
Outils
So, here’s comes the end of this weekly tech, consider leaving a comment / like if you want to, on my side, let’s meet again next week, same place, same day for a new weekly tech, since then, wish you all a great week-end and hope your week will be as good as the current one.
See you on Friday!
