I am a photography enthusiast, and I am horrible at taking out my camera to take pictures. I need to do better.

I have used Perplexity as my default search engine for a few months. Much better experience overall. Want to move away from Google tracking you every step of the way and not have ads, give it a try. Here is a great article on how to set it up: bit.ly/457UXE4

Why I Switched From Google Search to Perplexity
Hello. My name is Shelly. I'm a Chrome user. I've been off Google for nine days. (Hello, Shelly.) I did it. I replaced Google. Perplexity is now my default search engine. It's cathartic. I feel like m...

As an Asian American and a photography enthusiast, I had never heard of Corky Lee until this PBS documentary. Grateful for the important work he has done for the Asian American community and New York Chinatown. #AsianAmerican #CorkyLee #PBS #Documentary #photojournalism www.pbs.org/show/photogr...

Are you a Java developer who wants an easy way to develop and experiment with AI LLMs locally? Here is a great video tutorial by Ken Kousen - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0to...

Running Uncensored and Open Source LLMs on Your Local Machine
General AI models, like ChatGPT, Claude AI, or Gemini, have a broader scope, and their answers to questions can be correspondingly imaginative. But many vendors don't want to be held responsible for awkward answers, so they add "guard rails" to limit the responses. Those limitations often restrict the models so much as to make them unable to answer reasonable questions. In this talk, we'll discuss the Ollama system, which allows you to download and run open-source models on your local hardware. That means you can try out so-called "uncensored" models, with limited guard rails. What’s more, because everything is running locally, no private or proprietary information is shared over the Internet. Ollama also exposes the models through a tiny web server, so you can access the service programmatically. We'll look at how to do all of that, and how to use the newest Java features, like sealed interfaces, records, and pattern matching, to access AI models on your own hardware. Speaker: Kenneth Kousen Ken Kousen is a Java Champion, JavaOne Rock Star, and Grails Rock Star. He is the author of the Pragmatic Library books Mockito Made Clear and Help Your Boss Help You, the O'Reilly books Kotlin Cookbook, Modern Java Recipes, and Gradle Recipes for Android, and the Manning book Making Java Groovy. He’s a regular speaker on the No Fluff, Just Stuff conference tour, and has given presentations at conferences around the world. Beyond this, he is also the creator of the Tales from the jar side newsletter and companion YouTube channel. His academic background includes BS degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Mathematics from MIT, an MA and PhD in Aerospace Engineering from Princeton, and an MS in Computer Science from RPI. He is currently serving as the president of the Connecticut-based Kousen IT, Inc. #programming #machinelearning #llms #java #intellijidea Join us: Website: https://jb.gg/website Blog: https://jb.gg/blog Twitter: https://twitter.com/intellijidea Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IntelliJIDEA/ Download IntelliJ IDEA: https://jb.gg/download-intellij-idea Top 15 IntelliJ IDEA shortcuts: https://jb.gg/Top15IntelliJIDEAShortcuts
