Environmental challenges like climate change, global warming, air pollution, etc., all pose a severe threat to humans. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 3.6 billion people are already living in areas vulnerable to climate change. Climate change is predicted to result in an additional 250,000 deaths between 2030 and 2050.To solve environmental problems that have long presented difficulties for ecosystems and communities, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a potent instrument. From tracking deforestation to improving waste management, AI is offering innovativ...

As someone working in software development, primarily focused on building web products, I’ve always been curious about emerging technologies. The explosion of interest in AI, particularly after the release of ChatGPT, sparked my desire to dive deeper into this fascinating field. Here’s how my journey unfolded.I started with a YouTube video (Wolfram’s explanation) that breaks down how ChatGPT predicts the next word in a sentence (if you don't want to watch the video, you can read the transcript in the article). This introduction was an eye-opener—it revealed just how adv...

Below are some tips or tricks when building application with Cursor. These lessons are based on my recent experience while building a Sudoku game (just wanna test Cursor's capability).Do commit frequently. Recommend doing commit for every big change (a new feature such as a new button added for some function, some big UI change like added some new component changing the UI layout a bit)Test everything (regression testing) after doing big change. It may affect existing functions when adding new features, you think the change should not impact other parts, but it may not be the case.When adding ...

If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably already excited about the potential of the RAGFlow project and eager to see it in action. I was in the same position, so I delved into the codebase to see how it could work with custom large language models (LLMs). This post will walk you through my findings and show you how to get RAGFlow running with your own LLM.As of now (November 8, 2024), RAGFlow offers limited support for local LLMs, and vLLM isn’t yet compatible. In our case, we needed to test it on a company project with strict dat...

Picture this: AI isn't just about robots and sci-fi movies anymore. It's shaking things up in the tech industry, especially web development.So, what's the deal with AI and web development? Let's break it down. In a nutshell, AI refers to machines performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. When we talk about AI in web development, we're talking about smart algorithms and systems that can make websites smarter, faster, and more user-friendly. Why should you care about this? Well, imagine you're building a website. You want it to stand out, right? But can you do it on your o...

Recently, I encountered an issue with an app I maintain—it suddenly stopped pulling RSS feeds from TechCrunch. At first, I suspected that the RSS feed URL might have changed. However, after further investigation, I discovered a different story. The URL itself was unchanged, but the results varied depending on where the request was coming from.To troubleshoot, I started by setting up a local web server and running a test with my script to see if it could still pull the RSS feed. The script, written in PHP, simply sends a cURL request to the TechCrunch RSS feed.<?phpfunction get($url, $...

Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) has long been a topic of fascination and concern for technology leaders, with some seeing it as humanity's ultimate tool, while others view it as an existential threat. This clash of perspectives was on full display during the acquisition of DeepMind by Google in 2014, as two tech titans, Elon Musk and Larry Page, found themselves on opposite sides of the debate. While Page saw AGI as a necessary and desirable step in humanity's evolution, Musk was more wary of its potential to destroy humanity. Their differing perspectives set the stage for a fascinating c...
