Llama 3.1 has demonstrated one more time that open source is the way to go. Still doubtful? Give it a try using distilabel. 1️⃣ pip install distilabel 2️⃣ Select your favorite LLM 3️⃣ Test it with your own prompts And if you like, build with it!

i took a quick break at #PositConf2024 and accidentally wrote a quarto revealjs plugin. A little late but super useful! Fast and simple way to highlight a specific area of the slide using a spotlight https://lnkd.in/ggrMnUrC

Anthropic's prompt caching is invaluable for cost savings with mirascope, just add the `{:cache_control}` breakpoint and we'll handle the rest so everything up to the breakpoint gets cached docs: https://lnkd.in/gv4CV-k8

On Nov 19th, I'll be on XtremePython, speaking on Playwright. That's a very condensed version of "Playwright in a 1/2 hour (or less)". If you want to know what's the best way to automate web tests today, that's a great start. Plus, other Python stuff as well. To the Xtreme. You can see the agenda here: https://lnkd.in/e4knTwYs #python #playwright #conference #xtremepython

GenAI tools like GitHub Copilot are here, and are making a major difference (when used properly) Looking forward to this conversation with Laura Tacho and Nathen Harvey discussing some of the ways not to leverage GenAI tooling, as well as how DORA is thinking about GenAI in 2024. https://lnkd.in/gAGeRixh

Artifact Alchemy is a very useful tool if you're using Claude's artifacts to generate code files. It is a command-line tool that automates the process of extracting Claude's artifacts and organizing them into your local file system.

We’re quietly rolling out a self-paced program as part of an experiment: https://lnkd.in/gCpvqc_Y. While we continue building the next iteration of our in-house LMS, this new format lowers the barrier to entry. It’s also a way for us to find and support those who are serious, committed, and ready to dive deep—so we can focus on empowering people with the enthusiasm and grit to become the next generation of designers. Win-win-win. Maybe we can get people building things that aren't terrible, right? This program includes 50+ in-depth modules that go far beyond what typical coding bootcamps offer, combining design and web development holistically—and at a fraction of the cost. We’re adding weekly open office hours, even more exercises and resources than originally planned, and the program will continue to grow over time. Whisper... whisper... if you—or someone you know—want to try it out while it’s still at a super low price.

♻️ 'Context switching' has long been a thorn in the side of developers, writes ITPro's George Fitzmaurice, many of whom experience psychological strain by being forced to jump from one task to another in their daily workflow. 🔎 It's a common issue, especially when devs are forced to move from one task to another, or from one environment to another, and hampers productivity. ✔️ GitHub's new 'Copilot Extensions' offering, unveiled at Microsoft’s Build conference this week, will centralize tools and services in an effort to minimize this strain, ensuring that developers avoid burnout when completing tasks across various ecosystems and architectures. 📝 George caught up with Dom Couldwell, head of field engineering for EMEA at DataStax, to discuss the new offering and how it could help alleviate the strain placed on devs. #Software | #Development | #GitHub

A great thing about txtai's new Speech to Speech RAG workflow is that it's modular. It's simple to swap out a local LLM for a LLM API, same for transcription and text to speech. Want RAG with Postgres + pgvector? No problem! That all comes with txtai and it's why it's the "all-in-one embeddings database" https://lnkd.in/eEH-gZz2
