LLM’s and RAG
Working through LLM’s, looking at RAG, and more of the features of Open WebUI such as adding custom prompts, tools, importing knowledge, etc. I start looking at buying a new machine, a small form factor, then a normal size, but settle for upgrading to a Raspberry Pi 5 with an AI chip (Hailo 8L), but… Read More

Down With The Sickness
All week, I’ve been feeling worse than I ever expected. At first, I brushed it off as allergies, but the symptoms only intensified. My ribs ache from constant coughing, and even speaking has become painful. Despite multiple negative Covid tests, whatever this is has completely worn me down, leaving me mostly bed-ridden. My dogs keep… Read More

Packet Recovery
In the latest progress, we successfully broadcasted packets with passing CRC checks. However, the final image was distorted, and our progress bar malfunctioned. We reworked the stream manager, but encountered issues with byte counts and packet headers. Despite these challenges, we made significant strides in packet re-request automation and progress bar functionality. Additionally, AI-generated image… Read More

Packet Error Detection
Using a little air wobbler, we can transfer binary files, but with 487 bytes, perfect transmission is rare. Error checks like CRC help, but larger files mean more time wasted on retransmission. Splitting data into packets aids recovery, with CRC checks on each. Adding packet sequence headers further simplifies processing. Packets also support out-of-order transmission… Read More
