That’s 100% true. That’s why I’d like the help from experts to help me avoid being scammed, help me avoid drinking and eating poisoned food, or having to breath unhealthy air.
I don’t always know the full repercussions from the decisions I make so I really appreciate having some expert help. This is especially true of decisions shitty people try to coerce me into making when I’m desperate or emotionally vulnerable.
Llamafile is a great way to get use an LLM locally. Inference is incredibly fast on my ARM macbook and rtx 4060ti, its okay on my Intel laptop running Ubuntu.
A simpler answer might be llamafile if you’re using Mac or Linux.
If you’re on windows you’re limited to some smaller LLMs without some work. In my experience the smaller LLMs are still pretty good as chat bots so they might translate well.
I love duckDB, my usual workflow is:
Then duckdb treats the directory just like a databese that you can build indexes on, and since they’re parquet files they’re hella small and have static typing. It was pretty fast and efficient before, and duckdb has really sped up my data wrangling and analysis a ton.
Should include “has duckplyr” which is bad ass in the few weeks I’ve been using it.
I have a soft spot for Jenkins because it was the first integration tool I ever used fresh out of college.
But today I want to stab the server because a job started failing randomly with a permission error when trying to copy a file.

I like to imagine this was thought up by some ambitious product manager who enthusiastically pitched this idea during their first week on the job.
Then they carefully and meticulously implemented their plan over 3 years, always promising the executives it would be a huge pay off. Then the product manager saw the writing on the wall that this project was gonna fail. Then they bailed while they could and got a better position at a different company.
The new product manager overseeing this project didn’t care about it at all. New PM said fuck it and shipped the exploit before it was ready so the team could focus their work on a new project that would make new PM look good.
The new project will be ready in just 6-12 months, and it is totally going to disrupt the industry!
I love DuckDB. It’s really nice to be able to put a bunch of parquet files in a directory and then do operations on them as if they were a sql database. You can even put an index on the files if you’re feeling froggy.
If you’re doing a lot of reporting I highly recommend getting familiar with Quarto. It’s incredibly flexible for writing ad hoc reports, automated reporting, dashboards, presentations, etc. You can use python, R, observable, or Julia.
