Agents were important in Machine Learning development last year.
These are some courses I have done and recommend they are all free.
A good reason to do courses and look at youtube videos is you will learn current applications of AI and may get ideas for new applications.
AI Agentic Design Patterns with AutoGen
Topics: Agents, Microsoft, Autogen.
Ollama is the best platform for running, managing, and interacting with Large Language Models (LLM) models locally. For Python programmers, Ollama offers seamless integration and robust features for querying, manipulating, and deploying LLMs. In this post I will explore how Python developers can leverage Ollama for powerful and efficient AI-based workflows.
Ollama is a tool designed to enable local hosting and interaction with LLMs. Unlike cloud-based APIs, Ollama prioritizes privacy and speed by running models directly on your machine. Key benefits include:
In this post I give an introduction to what I think is the best static site generator: Hugo.
Hugo is an open-source static site generator written in Go. It takes structured content, often written in Markdown, and compiles it into static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
Follow these steps to set up your first Hugo site
First, ensure you have Hugo installed. Use your package manager of choice:
In the era of AI-powered search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and recommendation systems, efficient vector search is a necessity. While many vector databases exist, most require heavy infrastructure.
Enter ChromaDB: a lightweight, open-source vector database optimized for rapid prototyping and local AI applications.
ChromaDB is a vector database for storing and querying embeddings. It provides an easy-to-use interface for AI developers to integrate similarity search into their applications.
An android implementation of [CDB] (https://cr.yp.to/cdb.html) database. With some simple testing I am seeing a five to ten times increase in speed over Sqlite
A derivatives trading system. This is my attempt at building a derivatives trading system. In this first post I am going to outline the goals of the project and some of the early design decisions.
A validation tool for excel files. Sometimes you need to export data from one system for loading into another. For instance you may export a report from a derivatives trading system for information for a collateral management system.
This Excel macro file validates input files to make sure that they are in a specific format. The input file can be in any format that excel can load. The workbook will load the file and check for errors in place.
Google have just released their speech API. One really cool feature is the ability to transcribe voice in real time. Two years ago I built an app with this idea in mind. At that at the time I could no make it work. Now it is time to resurrect that app. This post will cover the recording section of that application.
This is another simple android application. It does one thing It keeps your phone awake.
This is a really simple android application. It does one thing It takes a photo of a web site and allows you to share the photo.
