LLM: A CLI utility and Python library for interacting with Large Language Models

Source: llm.datasette.io

A CLI utility and Python library for interacting with Large Language Models, both via remote APIs and models that can be installed and run on your own machine.

Follow the link below: I’ve been looking for a nicely packaged way to try llms locally, that is without using a cloud based service and without uploading my pi to another company. This tool is a good solution to the problem.

Jade Rubick - Implementing Amazon's single threaded owner model a retrospective

Jade Rubick - Implementing Amazon's single threaded owner model a retrospective

Source: rubick.com

A Single Threaded Owner (STO), is a single leader that is completely responsible for their area of the product. I share my experiences implementing this model, including the tradeoffs and challenges. And I give the nuts and bolts of how we implemented it and what we learned.

The attached article describes an org structure apparently originated at Amazon, called “single threaded owner” or STO. In a company with multiple products, one common setup is to have separate dev, pm and design groups each covering all products. STO says to have a separate, single manager for…

TEO is the schema-driven web server framework native to Rust, Node.js and Python. It reduces developing time and improves developers' life experience.

Wow a brand new web framework! Where did this spring from, apparently fully formed, out of nowhere? Or am I not hanging out in the right neighborhood? Take a look at the attached site!

Marp (also known as the Markdown Presentation Ecosystem) provides an intuitive experience for creating beautiful slide decks. You only have to focus on writing your story in a Markdown document.

Another tool to turn markdown into html and css. This is FYI. So far I am still looking.

NandGame - Build a computer from scratch.

Source: nandgame.com

An educational puzzle game. Solve a series of tasks where you build increasingly powerful components. Starts with the simplest logical components and ends up with a programmable computer.

Another really cool geek game where you build a whole CPU from individual nands etc. Crazy tedious.

This seems like a very good tool! We do so many zoom calls these days, not to mention teaching over zoom. We’re used to the off center eye contact. But I wonder whether people will notice when you use this that you’re looking right at them. Maybe it will make you more persuasive or help you do…

This is a standalone password generator. I think that because it does’t know the email or account name that the password is used with, the risk that the app itself is malware is small… i think… Author says: “z-tokens -- random tokens generation and related tools - GitHub - volution/z-tokens: z-tokens -- random tokens generation and related tools”

This seems like a very nice simple tool to solve a common problem. My only confusion is that there are a bunch of similar tools to do the same thing. Each has its own DSL, written in ruby or some other language, has its own conceptual steucture, and its own bugs. It’s enough to make me decide to just keep doing it by hand.
