Local neural networks using ollama

If you wanted to run something like ChatGPT and you have a powerful enough computer, for example with an Nvidia RTX video card, then you can run the ollama project, which will allow you to use one of the ready-made LLM models on a local machine, absolutely free. ollama provides the ability to communicate with LLM models, like ChatGPT, and the latest version also announced the ability to read images, format output data in json format.

I also launched the project on a MacBook with an Apple M2 processor, and I know that the latest models of AMD video cards are supported.

To install on macOS, visit the ollama website:
https://ollama.com/download/mac

Click “Download for macOS”, you will download an archive of the form ollama-darwin.zip, inside the archive there will be Ollama.app which you need to copy to “Applications”. After that, launch Ollama.app, most likely the installation process will occur at the first launch. After that, you saw the ollama icon in the tray, the tray is on the right top next to the clock.

After that, launch a regular macOS terminal and type the command to download, install and launch any ollama model. The list of available models, descriptions, and their characteristics can be found on the ollama website:

Choose the model with the least number of parameters if it does not fit into your video card at startup.

For example, the commands to launch the llama3.1:latest model:


ollama run llama3.1:latest

Installation for Windows and Linux is generally similar, in one case there will be an ollama installer and further work with it through Powershell.
For Linux, the installation is done by a script, but I recommend using the version of your specific package manager. In Linux, ollama can also be launched through a regular bash terminal.

Unreal Engine on Macbook M2

If you were able to run Unreal Engine 5 Editor on a Macbook with an Apple processor, you may have noticed that this thing slows down quite a bit.

To increase the performance of the editor and engine, set Engine Scalability Settings -> Medium. After that, the engine will start drawing everything not so beautifully, but you will be able to work normally with the engine on your Macbook.

Fixing the mobile menu in WordPress

    new navMenu('primary');
    new navMenu('woo');
});

If you too have not had the iOS/Android blog menu open in your WordPress blog for several years, when using the Seedlet theme, then simply add:
In the closure function of the wp-content/themes/seedlet/assets/js/primary-navigation.js file, next to the default window addEventListener ‘load’ subscription.

Polar Bear’s Underwater Adventure

A simple game with infinitely generated mazes on ThreeJS.

Created as part of a 3-day game jam “Start the Game” on the theme “Family Game”.

A polar bear cub was walking on the ice with his mother when suddenly disaster struck – the ice cracked and he fell into the icy waters of the ocean. His mother was unable to save him, and the bear found himself in a mysterious underwater cave. To his surprise, he discovered that he could breathe underwater. There was only one way to escape from this trap – by overcoming the sea depths, solving riddles and fighting aggressive sharks, which could be fought off with well-aimed apple throws.

Now his goal is to find a way out of this underwater trap and return to his mother, overcoming the dangers of the sea depths and solving riddles.

Donki Hills

In a month I made a funny gag, a parody game using the Unreal Engine 5 engine. The development was carried out on a Twitch stream.

The story of this game tells about an ordinary Russian guy James, who found a girl Maria on Tinder, but due to sanctions and the closure of Tinder in Russia, he lost contact with her. Now the only thing he has left is a screenshot of her photo, with the help of Google Maps he finds the place where the photo was taken – the village of Tikhie Donki near Novosibirsk. James goes there to look for Maria…
