Taking Browser Screenshots with Deno
Today, I needed to turn SVGs into PNGs. I decided to use Deno to do it. Some cursory searching showed Puppeteer should be up to the task. I also found deno-puppeteer which seemed like it would provide a reasonable way to make this work.
LLM Conversation Branching
Visualizing and navigating branched conversations with LLMs and embeddings
I wrote about Conversation Branching on my main blog and I've been prototyping an LLM chat app called Delta that has first-class conversation branching. LLM conversations typically follow a linear path, making it unintuitive to explore alternative directions or recover from miscommunications. This...
Local VLMs Have Improved
About 6 months ago, I experimented with running a few different multi-modal (vision) language models on my Macbook. At the time, the results weren't so great.
The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Generating UI with React and Tailwind
Writing React/Tailwind with LLMs is effortless
If you've experimented with Claude Artifacts or v0.dev, maybe you've been delighted (as I have) that the language model can conjure a UI for an idea you describe. Most of my experience building software, especially professionally, comes from working on the "backend". Building frontend (read: user...
Calling Deepseek with `llm` using OpenAI Compatible APIs
Deepseek V3 was recently released: a cheap, reliable, supposedly GPT-4 class model.
Year in Review: 2024
This year included a lot of writing and learning new things.
Challenges Building an Electron App
I've been building an Electron app called "Delta. Delta is a tool for knowledge exploration and ideation through the branching of conversations with language models. I have lots of ideas for how I want to make this idea useful and valuable, but today it looks like this.
Intro to Astro
I'm aiming to setup a space for more interactive UX experiments. My current Hugo blog has held up well with my scale of content but doesn't play nicely with modern Javascript frameworks, where most of the open source energy is currently invested.
Practical Deep Learning, Lesson 7, Movie Recommendations
In this notebook, we'll use the MovieLens 10M dataset and collaborative filtering to create a movie recommendation model. We'll use the data from movies.dat and ratings.dat to create embeddings that will help us predict ratings for movies I haven't watched yet.
