Reminder: Meeting June 13th 2024 at 7PM! Topic: Your own personal LLM!
by Tim Keller June 21, 2024

June 21, 2024

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting tomorrow!! Date/Time: June 13th 2024 @ 7pm. Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland St, 6th floor, Worcester MA. Virtual Location: (back to the old haunt) https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA <https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA> Considering how much AI has been in the news, I thought it would be cool to do a talk/demo about setting up your own personal Large Language Model! I'll either use my laptop of scrounge up a piece of good enough hardware to show it off.. hell I could even spin up a droplet and run it somewhere.. we'll figure that out. Jansen sent me some links to the cool stuff he uses and I'll definitely be leaning on his expertise and others. Here's what he wrote: the self-hosted webui i use is here: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui ollama! https://github.com/ollama/ollama here's the docker for ollama: https://hub.docker.com/r/ollama/ollama I've experimented with the ollama models and they're cool. As usual we'll nerd out, wrestle with some LLM stuff and have a great time. Afterwards we'll head off to the Boyton or somewhere else for some dinner and keep the geekery in full swing. I'll bring some snacks and refreshments as well. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting next week! Note, I won't be using our own Jitsi server but going to back to the old one since we've had so many issues. If there's a topic that people would like us to tackle, I'd be up for it! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Hierarchical note taking, Joplin, Trilium, browser extensions, etc..
by Tim Keller June 4, 2024

Sadly no. I've looked at DokuWiki a couple of times. The problem is this. I'm lazy. The lowest barrier to entry is simply a directory called "Notes" with a bunch of text files. Being text and using a unix-like system, I've got tools like grep to find stuff. I figure the next lowest thing is some program that lets me take notes that I can then organize into some index and search against it as well. Beyond that now it becomes hosted somewhere, etc. Tim.

A co-worker of mine recently forwarded along to me this site: https://tls12.xargs.org/#client-hello/annotated It's fantastic in that it *actually* explains TLS. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

A couple meetings ago Jansen showed up a really cool graphical interface for LLM. Does anybody remember what it was? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting tomorrow May 8th at 7PM. Physical Location: Technocopia 44 Portland St. Worcester Virtual location: https://jitsi.uvhash.org (The link won't be live until tomorrow, the instance is currently powered off) Topics: Latest version of KiCAD? Ondsel CAD: Ramifications of a company pumping money into FreeCAD.. IBM eats another cloud tool.. On a different note, I know in the past we had an IRC channel going. Discussions sometimes get clunky on the mailing list. In the vein of self hosting, would people be interested in me standing up something like a Zulip server? https://zulip.com/ As always, I'll bring snacks and refreshments and we'll head off to continue the conversation for dinner! Hope to see you there! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
