Revisiting some free music I used to listen to back in my undergrad university days. A nice, relaxing #electronic track for a Sunday morning called "Lazy beach breaks": http://jamen.do/t/384091

After a long time of using Microsoft Copilot/Designer as my primary AI image generator, I set up #InvokeAI on my desktop this afternoon to try out local image generation and editing.
Helping my cousin explore options for putting together a wedding website.

Today I found out that you can set your AI chatbot provider in #Firefox to something other than the default choices provided by entering a custom URL for the `browser.ml.chat.provider` setting in the about:config page.

For instance, you can set it to the #Ecosia AI chatbot by entering the URL: https://www.ecosia.org/chat

Other browsers have had it, but the new Tab Groups feature in #Firefox is a game changer for me. Instant adoption. I've REALLY been missing this.

Testing a personal #AI assistant locally sometimes leads to some interesting moments.

I spent some time with the debugger to figure out why my assistant would stop responding to me after adding some tools for it to use. Turns out it was hallucinating about how to use them, generating an empty response each time. I kept messaging it because I was curious to see if the chat could eventually get back on track.

#csharp #OllamaSharp #programming

Silly workaround: just copy the generated class code from the symbol definition in VS Code, and paste it into its own file. Then it works.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but the source generator for tools in #OllamaSharp does not quite seem to work for me.

I can see the generated class for the tool in VS Code, but when I try to actually build and run the project, I get a CS0246 error about not finding the type or namespace name of the tool.

#csharp

Found out that #KokoroSharp can't find its own bundled files if added to your solution as a dependency for a class library project. It must be a direct dependency of the main app project itself in order to work. You get a DirectoryNotFoundException otherwise.

I wanted to have this shared between my desktop app and CLI app using my class library project as an abstraction layer, but oh well.
