Bluesky | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | InstagramThis article is also available on YouTube! Have you ever heard of Jean-Antoine Nollet? Back in the 18th century, Nollet carried out an experiment where he lined up 200 monks, each connected hand-to-hand with iron wires, forming a continuous chain over a mile (1.6 km) long. Once everything was set up, he connected a primitive electrical battery to the line, delivering a powerful electric shock to all of them simultaneously. Now, Nollet wasn’t just zapping monks for kicks. His experiment had a serious purpose: to study the properties of electricity and see…

What helps me with end-of-day reporting

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, opensource, productivity, software

Ever feel like your day ends and you can’t quite remember what you actually accomplished? Or do you get so absorbed in a task that you forget your original goal? That used to be me too. Staying focused and keeping track of my progress felt like a constant challenge. So, I built something to help: a simple web extension to keep me on track. Here’s how it works: When I start working, I set my focus by writing down the task I want to accomplish. If I switch tasks, I log and update my focus. If I lose track, I…

Implementing a CI Pipeline for VShell with GitHub Actions

stp2y0 CommentsNewsci, codenewbie, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, javascript, opensource, software

Introduction This week, I delved into setting up a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline using GitHub Actions while also expanding my suite of unit tests for my project, VShell. The process has enhanced my understanding of CI principles, automated testing, and the tools that help developers ensure reliable code delivery. What is Continuous Integration? Continuous Integration is a development practice where code changes are automatically tested and integrated into a shared repository frequently. By leveraging a CI pipeline, developers can detect and address issues early in the development cycle, improving code quality and reducing integration risks. A CI/CD pipeline allows us…

Version 0.45.0 of Spellcheck (GitHub) Action was released the other day. The number of releases in October was quite high, with 3 releases, so I waited a bit with this and it was released on November 5th. The release is a maintenance release where the Docker base image was updated from python:3.13.0-slim-bullseye to python:3.13.0-slim-bookworm, meaning a change of Debian version. Taking the whole end of live perspective into consideration, this should give us some time. Do see: endoflife.date: debian my go to resource for this information.

Hi everyone, I'm Antonio, CEO at Litlyx. Today, I want to share a huge milestone with you. Over the years of my career as a Software Developer, I’ve gained so much from the Open-Source community. It’s likely that, in your codebase, you have 10 or more dependencies on open-source libraries in each tech stack you use. Thanks to this thriving community worldwide, we, as individuals, can grow our coding knowledge immensely. The past five months have been a rollercoaster of emotions for me. But now, it’s time to give back and pay the debt I've accumulated over the years from…

El uso de los modelos de IA open source en el desarrollo

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, opensource, python, software

Durante el ultimo año han aparecido un gran numero de herramientas con inteligencia artificial para hacer mas sencilla la vida de los usuarios, ya sea generación de imágenes o chatbots, incluso escalando a herramientas que ejecutan procesos gigantescos y profesionales. He estado investigando, aprendiendo y probando muchas de estas herramientas desde chatgpt, gemini hasta dall-e o midjourney, todas funcionan muy bien pero cuando yo quiero escalar mis aplicaciones con estas herramientas me encuentro con que no tienen una alternativa gratuita u open source. Esto me ha hecho llevar mi investigación a un paso mas allá y me he encontrado con…

WebForms Core technology helps developers manage HTML tags on the server side without the need for client-side scripting. WebForms Core is a feature in the core of the CodeBehind framework. Note: CodeBehind framework is a powerful replacement for ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages and other backend frameworks.The use of WebForms Core technology also makes developers not need to use front-end frameworks such as Vue, Angular and React.However, these two are not a replacement for WebAssembly; But they are well coordinated with WebAssembly. The following project is the default version 8 of Blazor .NET Core technology, which has been rewritten…

How to run for inference Llama-3_1-Nemotron-51B-Instruct?

stp2y0 CommentsNewsai, aimodels, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, nvidia, opensource, software

The large language model (LLM) Llama-3_1-Nemotron-51B-Instruct provides an excellent balance between model efficiency and correctness. This model was created by NVIDIA employing a revolutionary Neural Architecture Search (NAS) technique that significantly lowers the model's memory footprint, allowing for higher workloads and model fitting on a single GPU at high workloads. This makes it possible to choose a preferred point in the accuracy-efficiency tradeoff. 40 billion tokens of data centered on English single-turn and multi-turn chat use cases were used to refine the model. Neural Architecture Search (NAS) and knowledge distillation are powerfully combined in the Llama-3.1-Nemotron-51B. These methods greatly lower…
