Langur Monkey - Toni Sagristà Sellés

Today, I was playing around with a new feature in Gaia Sky, and I created a new release from master.

Yesterday, Firefox 152 was released.

Building on the previous post about how good current open TTS models are, this post focuses on local LLMs, and their explosion in quality in the recent years months.

Around 2007 I spent half a year in the University of Aberdeen working on my final year project involving NLP.

A little over a year ago I set up a local pipeline to use different LLMs to respond to Gaia Sky questions using RAG.

A while back I reviewed the Viltrox EF-FX1 adapter, my first attempt at bridging my old Canon EF and EF-S lenses over to my Fujifilm X-S10.

I like running my own LLMs locally.

The release of LM Studio 0.4.5 has introduced a much needed feature in this local LLM suite that has it much more attractive with respect to other similar projects.

I finished my previous post on Play Kid, only two days ago, with the following words: Next, I’ll probably think about adding Game Boy Color support, but not before taking some time off from this project.

Notice This post is about Play Kid version 0.2.0, which uses pixels to create and manage the pixel frame buffer.

Notice This post is about Play Kid version 0.1.0, which works with SDL2.

Play Kid is yet another Game Boy emulator, written in Rust.

I’ve written about JPEG XL in the past.

Astronomical scenes, especially those rendered interactively, often feature supraluminal camera motion over immense distances.

A few days ago I wrote about benchmarking arbitrary precision floating-point libraries in Java.

Edit (2025-05-08): Changed some test parameters and re-run the tests.
