N Stability AI announce their open-source language model, StableLM

Repo: https://github.com/stability-AI/stableLM/

Excerpt from the Discord announcement:

> We’re incredibly excited to announce the launch of StableLM-Alpha; a nice and sparkly newly released open-sourced language model! Developers, researchers, and curious hobbyists alike can freely inspect, use, and adapt our StableLM base models for commercial and or research purposes! Excited yet?
>
> Let’s talk about parameters! The Alpha version of the model is available in 3 billion and 7 billion parameters, with 15 billion to 65 billion parameter models to follow. StableLM is trained on a new experimental dataset built on “The Pile” from EleutherAI (a 825GiB diverse, open source language modeling data set that consists of 22 smaller, high quality datasets combined together!) The richness of this dataset gives StableLM surprisingly high performance in conversational and coding tasks, despite its small size of 3-7 billion parameters.

RE: If you had to pick a library from another language (Rust, JS, etc.) that isn’t currently available in Python and have it instantly converted into Python for you to use, what would it be?

Re u/Tymbl's post.
I implemented Rust's Option and Result types in Python because the amount of times I write code that works straight away is embarrassing when I write Python.
https://github.com/gum-tech/flusso


However, my first feedback was: "It's not Pythonic".
I thought Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. If so, what makes a code Pythonic?

Event driven development with FastAPI and Kafka


Event driven development with FastAPI and Kafka.

Kafka is a distributed data streaming platform that allows you to publish, store, and process streams of records (messages) in a fault-tolerant and scalable manner. In simple terms, Kafka is like a messaging system that enables applications to send and receive data in real-time.


Tutorial is split into 2 parts
In part 1, we will set up a single-node Kafka and Zookeeper environment using Docker Compose. We will then produce and consume test messages using the Kafka console producer and consumer. In part 2 we will adds a FastAPI endpoint that handles requests and produces messages.

Introducing pyautoenv: Activate and deactive python environments as you move around the file system

[https://github.com/hsaunders1904/pyautoenv](https://github.com/hsaunders1904/pyautoenv)

Hi, all!

Tired of forgetting to activate your virtual environment before running your program? `pyautoenv` is here to help.

Inspired by [autoenv](https://github.com/hyperupcall/autoenv), `pyautoenv` hooks into the `cd` command in your shell and will automatically activate a `poetry` or `venv` Python environment if that environment is defined in the directory you're cd-ing into. Zsh, Bash, and PowerShell are supported.

It will:

* Activate a `poetry` environment if a directory, or any of its parents, contains a `poetry.lock` file.
* Activate a `venv` environment if a directory, or any of its parents, contains a `.venv` directory.
* Deactivate any active virtual environment if a directory does not define an environment in one of the above 2 ways.

Any and all comments/suggestions welcome!

P LoRA adapter switching at runtime to enable Base model to inherit multiple personalities

Hi all,
Hope you are all well. Last time I posted about the fastLLaMa project on here, I had a lot of support from you guys and I really appreciated it. Motivated me to try random experiments and new things!


Thought I would give an update after a month.

Yesterday we added support to enable users to attach and detach LoRA adapters quickly during the runtime. This work was built on top of the original llama.cpp repo with some modifications that impact the adapter size (We are figuring out ways to reduce the adapter size through possible quantization).

We also built on top of our save load feature to enable quick context switching during run time! This should enable a single running instance to server multiple sessions.

We were also grateful for the feature requests from the last post and we have implemented features that were requested like perplexity calculation, returning embeddings etc.

Why this repo and how are we different from other wrappers?
Previously someone had asked this in the other post. Thought I would address it here as well. I am really excited to see many people building on top of llama.cpp and I think it deserves all

### THANKS ❤

I want to sincerely thank the people who support and will support this work (financially and otherwise).
Thank you for allowing me to learn how to develop these projects and at the same time be able to help my parents financially.

# Changelog 2.0.

### NEW

It is now possible to upscale images and videos in one shot
The message box is now more "conversational"
Now the app will save the upscaled files by adding the chosen resolution % tag.
this allows you to try different % resolutions without overwriting the previous file.
for example, an image with BSRGANx4 and Resolution 70%:
QualityScaler 1.14 => image_BSRGANx4.png
QualityScaler 2.0 => image\_BSRGANx4\_70%.png
New GUI based on the splendid work of customtkinter:
it is now possible to select files via a "Select files" button instead of the Drag&Drop function that presented several problems
this new library allows for much more organized and optimized code
the new interface is fully resizable and so adaptable to any screen
the new interface also allows more space to add new

I just want to say, I love django!

I have been programming for more than 15+ years and professionally about than 7 years. Out of all the frameworks, and the languages, I have worked with. I think django is one of most well thought framework, it has a simplicity that matches with python and Damm, the documentation, it just makes building and programming such an enjoyable experience.

I have worked with some huge and legacy Django code bases too but, getting around in it still feels familiar and not much overhead.

Django all the way!

Create a simple, yet beautiful design with Python and CSS for your next Flask project. (Part 2/2)

Hi all, just published part 2/2 of my frontend mini-series for Flask in Level Up Coding. This time focusing on CSS.
Tutorial includes:
\- All the CSS needed to create the design.
\- How to structure the CSS into multiple files to improve code maintenance and readability.
\- How to use the Flask Assets package to minify and optimise your CSS for production.

Spooky Static Files

Ok, I'm at my wit's end. I just spent give hours trying to solve an issue and I'm not getting any further.

Here's my stack:

Docker
Nginx
Gunicorn
Django

Everything works fine with Debug is true.

My css files that are under the same folder structure as my images and Javascript files do not seem to completely load when I run the production server.

Everything is served though. If I manually input the url in my web browsers (Mozilla, Edge, Chrome) I can see them fine, but when I inspect elements they do not show up in the styles panel, even though they do show up in the development server.

So in essence my css does not load in production, even though the files are served under the correct static link and everything.

Any idea?

I can provide more in info upon request, but seeing I literally went over everything I could think of, I didn't want to make this a huge wall of text just yet.

I asked chatgpt and he's been very helpful, but he seems to be clueless on this as well.



Any ideas?

Unicodeitplus: Convert simple LaTeX into an unicode approximation and paste it anywhere.

This is a small library with a CLI to convert simple LaTeX into unicode. There are much more powerful LaTeX to HTML converts, like KaTeX, but the beauty of unicode is that it works everywhere, in the terminal, in Powerpoint, ... . The library is inspired by unicodeit but uses a better LaTeX parser that fixes a few bugs in unicodeit.

QR Code, Scanning?

Continuing to battle away on my app, and it's coming together. When the user registers I generate a uniqueID and i'm displaying that on their dashboard as a QR Code. The idea is on a separate page they can add the uniqueID code and it will compare their film watchlist and other users. I have a page that does the comparison and it works great adding the code manually. The next step is adding a button to open the camera and extract this 15-digit code from the QR code to enter into the input box.

Is there an easy way of doing this? chatgtp wants me to integrate a script into the HTML file, The code is below, and it doesn't do a thing....

​

'''
{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block content %}
<h1>Find Something To Chill Too</h1>

<label for="unique_id">Enter unique ID:</label>
