A quick try with "Zephir 7B", entirely _locally_ on Mac M1. In 7 seconds, I get some usable example code for a minimalistic demo FastAPI program. Would be nice to couple this to my IDE, to allow _local_ code hinting, without leaking (customer) source code to a GPT provider. #LLM

Finally clear why ssh was not using my configured IdentityFile for different @gitlab accounts
=> it was using ssh agent identities first (even with explicit IdentityFile mentioned).

```
Will attempt key ... agent
Will attempt key: ... explicit

Yesss, we nailed: an elegant fix for BeautifulSoupTransformer in @langchain that passes all my tests (no duplicates anymore and now keeps original order of tags). #AI #LLM
(now just needs to get merged ;-)

[Peter Vandenabeele 🇺🇦 @peter_v]

Wow, @langchain moves fast ... I submitted another "failing test" past night, and already today, the _fix_ is added to my Pull Request ... #AI #LLM

[Peter Vandenabeele 🇺🇦 @peter_v]

My first Pull Request into @langchain got merged :-) Good feeling to improve the test coverage and document a bug. #smallsteps #AI #LLM

(GitHub Copilot wrote half of the actual characters, but that is hardly news).

I got my COVID vaccin shot today. Feeling totally fine.

Getting it for free, on short notice in pharmacy is VERY EASY :-). Go to https://t.co/ZI6njM4gtm and click "Covid-vaccinatie". And ... nice to get a vaccin on the day the inventors where awarded the Nobel price :-)

Correction: '... but "Clijsters" is a very close second ...' (small distance behind)

[Peter Vandenabeele 🇺🇦 @peter_v]

Fun fact; when running the Word2Vec example of "man is to woman as prince is to ...", the logical winner is indeed "princess", but "Clijsters" is a very distant second ... nearly a princess (using the GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin.gz vectors) /cc @Clijsterskim #NLP #AI
