Ollama Cheatsheet

I have been using Ollama for a good while now to run LLMs locally on my laptop for better testing and development of my AI Agents. This post shows a number of things that you can do with Ollama in a glimpse and so I call this a cheatsheet. -- -- If you haven't tried your hands on Ollama, you should give it a try and this cheatsheet should come handy to you. And you may want to star it and fork it from my github-gist , for your quick reference and fiddling.

Essential Vim For CKAD Or CKA Exam

If you are preparing for CKAD or CKA exam and are new to Vim/Vi, this post will help you know everything that is essential to being productive with Vim during your exam. Vim has 3 modes as depicted in picture below: In Command Mode , you do things like navigating your cursor from one point to another in your text file, or delete text or replace text or select text or things like that. When you open Vim, you will be in this mode to begin with. In Insert Mode , you insert text and delete text with [backspace] key :) In Execution Mode , you do things like search text in file, set tab length, set line numbers in editor and stuff like that.

Should I buy refurbished laptop from Amazon?

This post is based on my experience with amazon.in and guess it to be true on all other platforms as well. At least you can check out and verify for these pointers before you make that decision to buy renewed/refurbished laptop on Amazon with your hard earned money. I see this question propping up in several forums and on many different occasions. In the recent past, I had my 5 year old dell laptop that gave up because its motherboard failed. One of the options that I had in my mind was to re-use the HDD and the 16GB DDR4 RAM of that old laptop in the one that I purchase next as secondary. I had come to a conclusion that it is not worth buying a refurbished/renewed laptop at all. Why? For the following reasons, most of which I see as BIG #RedFlags: You got to remember that Amazon provides a platform for 3rd party sellers to sell their products as well. So in your search for refurbished laptops you wouldn’t want to choose some random 3rd party seller who Amazon doesn’t endorse. You...

Lessons From Failing To Fine-tune A Small LLM On My Laptop

I recently shared my frustration in my LI feed something like below: Getting supposedly small things done by monster of an LLM to me is still an expensive affair in terms of money. Getting the same damn small thing done by quantized LLM is seeming to be expensive in terms of time. Prompt Engineering they say is the new language. The reality is LLMs still haven't matured enough to select right tools with simple one-shot or few-shot prompting. I didn't struggle teaching my pet dog to pick the right tool, as much as I am doing teaching my relatively small LLM running on my laptop to select right tool from a given set of tools to generate appropriate answers. I love and do bet on GenAI but am cognizant of the cost vs effort tradeoff as with anything else in software engineering, but more blatant in the Generative AI ecosystem. Yes, it is relatively much much easier to leverage an LLM with 70 b...

Niggles with HuggingFace

Working with Hugging Face (HF) can be incredibly rewarding, but like any platform, it comes with its own set of constraints and limitations that can catch developers off guard. Here are some common friction points I encountered which you are better off knowing beforehand to make better decisions with regard to your engineering practices. Gradio apps work well in public spaces, but when you make your space private it's UI breaks real bad. For more on this, check out my earlier post titled, "Gradio App Breaks in Hugging Face's Private Spaces" . HF discourages the use of .env file for externalizing your configurations and recommends the use of its settings tab in the console to set your environment variables. At least as of now, this is only a recommendation and I see it working for my demo apps. This might change in future, and it may reject the commit having .env file as unsafe, in future. This recommendation is understandable and recommendable for production grade a...
