Did you know you can run powerful AI models right on your computer? It's true! Today, I will show you how easy it is to get started with Llama 3.2 and OpenWebUI.

Wilhelm Röntgen discovered X-ray November 8th 1895, when he did experiments with cathode rays in a vacuum tube. To capture and save images of the shadows from the X-rays, he used ordinary photoplates. Fortunately, sensitive to visible light silver based photoemulsions turned out to be sensitive to the X-ray too. These photoplates became the first X-ray detectors.

More than 100 years of scientific progress led to the creation of a number of various detectors for recording X-ray images. Developments of the microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing technologies are crucial for development of the modern X-ray detectors. These detectors can transform the energy of the X-ray photon directly to the electrical signal. They allow capturing detailed, digital, high-resolution X-ray images.

Digital images are easy to work with. For example one can merge multiple macro images into an image of the whole object and represent monochrome images in false colors like Simon Procz did with this X-ray image of a flower he did in 2012.

Did you know that coding tools have evolved so rapidly that they're now shaping the future of programming itself? As technology advances, platforms like Replit are leading the charge, making coding more accessible and collaborative than ever before. In this article, I'll show you what Replit is and how to use it.

Today, we'll explore Cursor AI. Whether you're an experienced developer or a beginner, this article will be helpful because this tool will change how we code.

Over the past two years, artificial intelligence has become one of the main topics in the media and many famous people have expressed their thoughts on this topic. But if you start searching on the Internet for collections of quotes about AI, you will mostly find quotes from CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies, futurists and scientists conducting research in this field. Moreover, these collections are so similar to each other, which sometimes gives the impression that they were compiled by AI. In this article, I have collected quotes from world famous people who are usually not included in such collections of quotes:

Hello everyone, this is Denis Weber.

One day, I was once again looking for a 3d model on stock for my project and came across a neural network that can create high-quality 3d models in just a couple of clicks. And I wondered if it would be possible to create something like a music video using only the capabilities of existing neural networks?

If you prefer the video format, I will leave a link to the video at the end of the post.

My name is Paul Karol and I work as a director in a Russian IT company that mostly sells their products in the international market.

I have been deeply involved in a project and I haven’t had time to write here lately.  

But out of this work came an understanding of two very large Mistakes that are being made that prevent your pre-sales from succeeding. 

I’m going to go into deeper detail on each one of these issues in the next articles, but I will introduce them here now.

Let me make you a promise….. if you correct these two issues, your software and development projects will sell.  

**I have a proven track record. If these areas are fixed the company begins to sell 150 % more than they’ve ever sold in the past. 

150% more profits! 

Hey! My name's Kirill Ziborov and I'm a member of the Distributed System Security team at Positive Technologies. In this article, I'll be continuing the discussion of methods and tools for the formal verification of smart contracts and their practical application to prevent vulnerabilities. The main focus will be on the deductive verification method, or more precisely, the ConCert framework for testing and verifying smart contracts.

Google has launched an exciting new feature called "Gems" within its Gemini platform. This feature allows users to create personalized AI chatbots tailored to their needs. Let’s explore what Google Gem is.

ChatGPT-4, the latest model from OpenAI, boasts impressive capabilities like text generation, question answering, problem-solving, coding, and even image analysis. However, accessing it requires a $20 monthly subscription on OpenAI's website. For residents of certain countries, accessing the service poses additional challenges due to restrictions, necessitating the use of foreign payment methods and VPNs.

We've created a list of the top-4 services that offer completely free access to ChatGPT-4. This article will delve into the advantages and limitations of each option, comparing them side-by-side.

Hey there! I'm excited to dive into an exciting topic today — how AI can help us create more effective prompts. Did you know that AI-generated prompts can be 30% more effective than those crafted by humans? Let's explore how we can harness this power to simplify prompt engineering and make our interactions with AI more efficient.

Hello everyone, this is Denis Weber.

Heroes 3 is one of my favorite games from my childhood. I can call it the king of turn-based strategy games. Once again, while playing Heroes, I thought about what a castle from a game could look like in 3D, but all I had was a low quality screenshot.

If you prefer the video format, I will leave a link to the video at the end of the post.

I'm excited to tell you about Meta's Llama 3.1, a powerful AI language model you can use for free. In this article, I'll show you how to install and run Llama 3.1 on your computer. This means you can use it without the internet and save money on AI costs.

This week is crazy for AI news! OpenAI will launch SearchGPT, which could replace traditional search engines like Google and even Perplexity AI.

Radar technology is crucial to modern weather forecasting, providing real-time data on precipitation, storm intensity, and atmospheric patterns. This article explores how radar works, its applications in meteorology, and its impact on improving weather predictions.

Hey there! It's exciting to see how AI changes how we work and create stuff. I've been trying out many new AI tools recently, and I want to share my favorite picks for June 2024. These tools are amazing and could help you whether you're making content, running a business, or just curious about AI.

In this article, I want to showcase AI tools for creating summaries from YouTube videos. These AI tools can quickly summarize a video's content so you don't have to watch the entire thing. I'll demonstrate how to use these AIs to rapidly extract the main points from videos.

We are requesting 20,000,000 euro to place 900 orders on the exchange. What could go wrong?

Today, I will explain how to avoid losing billions in client money when executing large transactions on the exchange. This discussion focuses on an often overlooked and largely invisible problem that arises when handling large requests, particularly HTTP requests, which may not be fully executed. It's surprising how little attention is given to this issue and how few tools there are to address it.

Our task was to implement large-scale management of exchange orders, not just within a single exchange but globally, and to ensure it operates reliably. In this story, you'll encounter clients, servers, and cats. Stories are always more enjoyable with cats.

We wrote this article in an attempt to figure out what technical level gas turbine installations are currently at, as well as to understand what the prospects for their development are. At the same time, in our manuscript, we tried to consider an alternative energy conversion scheme that will increase energy efficiency, which will allow for more efficient use of natural resources. We are not completely sure that the alternative scheme presented by us will be workable, since many factors that may affect its operation have not yet been investigated. But as the Chinese philosopher said, "you can't travel a thousand li without taking the first step." We ask the Habr community to read our article, we hope for a constructive conversation.

Do you want to know how to build an AI image analyzer? Then read this article till the end! I'm going to show you how to build AI analyzer tools really simply, so you almost don't have to have any prior knowledge. I will take you step by step, and we will use Project IDX and the Gemini API. This means you don't have to set up anything; everything we will do is on the cloud. If you're ready, then let's get started!
