This example demonstrates a practical setup for running local-only LLMs on macOS, combining Ollama to manage and serve models like Qwen2.5-Coder and Llama3.1, with Continue as a VSCode extension to integrate them into the editor. The configuration file (`config.json`) shows explicit API endpoints at `http://localhost:11434`, model selections, and disablement of anonymous telemetry. The code relies on Ollama’s command-line interface and Continue’s JSON schema to define autocomplete, custom commands, and documentation sources, illustrating a fully offline workflow for coding assistance.

mac set up

This example shows a curated collection of development tools and setup commands for macOS, organized as a simple textual list. The visualization is a static, human-readable reference guide rather than a data-driven graphic. It lists software like Rectangle for window snapping, AltTab for app switching, iTerm2 with tmux integration, Oh My Zsh for shell customization, and Typora for markdown editing, with direct URLs and command examples. The rendering approach is plain markdown, using bullet points and hyperlinks to present the information clearly. No specific data visualization libraries or APIs are used; instead, the content relies on structured text formatting to convey the setup workflow.

llm-wiki

This visualization illustrates a pattern for building persistent, LLM-maintained knowledge bases. It shows how raw source documents are ingested and incrementally compiled into an interlinked wiki of markdown files, with the LLM handling summarization, cross-referencing, and synthesis. The code demonstrates the architecture using file I/O and markdown parsing, with the LLM agent managing the wiki’s structure and updates. The visualization highlights the compounding value of a knowledge base that is kept current over time, rather than re-derived from scratch on every query.

Some notes on AI / ML tools that seem interesting/useful (largely aiming to focus on open source tools)

This interactive data-visualization gallery maps the landscape of AI/ML tools, categorizing a curated gist of open-source projects and resources. It shows a network of interconnected nodes representing tools like Ollama, vLLM, and LangChain, grouped by categories such as SDKs, agents, and model hosting. Built with React and WebGL, the visualization uses a graph layout to display relationships and hierarchies, with the plain-text markdown content from the source gist serving as the underlying dataset. The interactive scene allows users to explore the tool ecosystem directly within the browser.

Gist 4c5c3a03de2d3fea691e3fc9b4995d84

This example demonstrates a step-by-step guide for installing Omeka on an AWS Lightsail instance, showing the process from logging in to connecting to the instance’s IP address. The instructions use a launch script fetched from a GitHub gist, which likely employs shell commands to automate the setup. The code relies on the AWS Lightsail web console for instance creation and the `curl` or similar command-line tool to retrieve the configuration script, though the exact libraries are not explicitly named. The visualization is textual, focusing on procedural clarity rather than graphical data, with the data source being the gist’s raw text file.

women-in-religion-llamaindex.ipynb

This notebook demonstrates how to build a question-answering system over a collection of documents about women in religion, showing the workflow from document loading to natural language responses. It installs and uses LlamaIndex core libraries alongside OpenRouter’s unified API for language model access, plus sentence-transformers and HuggingFace embeddings for text vectorization. The code mounts Google Drive to access a folder of source files, configures the OpenRouter API key, and sets up an OpenRouter-based LLM, but does not yet execute a query or produce a final visualization.

VSCode SSH extension

This example demonstrates a configuration file for establishing an SSH connection to an AWS server through the VSCode SSH extension. The code shows a plain-text host entry named "Servidor AWS-nombre-practica" that specifies the server's dynamic public IP address, a local identity file path for key-based authentication, and the default Ubuntu username. The rendering approach is minimal, relying on VSCode's built-in SSH extension to parse the configuration, with no additional visualization libraries or APIs involved. The data source is the user's local SSH config file, and the example highlights the essential parameters—HostName, IdentityFile, and User—that enable remote development.

Visual Studio Code Settings Sync Gist

This visualization presents the settings and extensions from a Visual Studio Code user’s synchronization Gist, authored by JamesApple. It shows the installed extensions as a list and the user’s configuration details, including keybindings, UI theme, and editor preferences. The data is rendered directly from the JSON files in the Gist, which include `extensions.json` and `settings.json`. The example highlights how personal development environment configurations can be shared and examined, using the raw JSON structure to display the information without additional processing.

Gist e30b580e1eb3c9e76102ba926ac0e85a

This example shows a complete GitHub Classroom activity template in Spanish, guiding students through designing a small thematic practice project using ARM64 Assembly, Bash, Python, or C. It emphasizes documentation-first development, with a structured repository of Markdown templates for proposal, use case, repository structure, and test plans, plus a shell script and source stub. The visualization relies on plain text file rendering via the web interface, illustrating how to scaffold a minimal, well-documented coding assignment without external frameworks or complex dependencies. The code uses no external libraries, focusing instead on repository organization and pedagogical instructions.
