I recently got a 3d printer. It is fascinating that you can just imagine things and turn them into real physical objects. I always imagined this and some recent cleanup in my big city, small flat, brought up the idea again for getting a new tool. The air they produce is rather toxic so I looked into model with some air filtration system. I got a 5M Pro model used for around 250€. In addition to…
TL;DR: I built a virtual kubelet that lets Kubernetes offload GPU jobs to RunPod.io ; Useful for burst scaling ML workloads without needing full-time cloud GPUs. This project came out of a need while working on an internal ML-based SaaS (which didn’t pan out). Initially, we used the RunPod API directly in the application, as RunPod had the most affordable GPU pricing at the time. But I also had a…
Everyone is currently racing to add AI to their applications. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) solves the problem of writing an integration for each service by using a protocol that can be plugged into any system. It is gaining serious traction but it still is wild west. The problem? The organization behind MCP (Anthropic) doesn't even implement their own specification properly. Also the…
The AI revolution is coming home in the form of open "Source" AI models. What began with hackers experimenting with open-source AI models is evolving into a more mature ecosystem of software and hardware solutions that make local AI deployment increasingly accessible. This growing interest led me to explore practical, cost-effective solutions for building a local AI workstation. It is still early…
Drowning in events? Here's how to build a scalable rule engine that handles 500,000+ events daily without breaking a sweat. Why fast reaction is essential In modern business environments, processing and reacting to events in real-time has become crucial. Whether you're dealing with IoT sensor data, user interactions, or business transactions, the ability to automatically apply business logic to…
GPU servers are expensive and cheaper option is to build your own GPU machine. When you prefer working on a different machine or you want to offer the GPU capabilities as server we can deploy it with docker or include it in a cluster with k3s or kubernetes. I encountered some difficulties in the process of setting up my GPU cluster, and some advice found on the internet and from LLMs is outdated,…
In this article, I present a formalized framework to analyze hidden costs of actions. Shadow costs potentially outweigh the benefits of AI development, thus making it a net negative. Governance on a nationwide level is insufficient and can be modeled by the tragedy of the commons. Hence, to reduce the negative effects, some AI developments should be slowed down and effect-limiting work should be…
MoloVol is a software tool for a particular problem of theoretical chemists or biologist [1], that was released a year ago with a recent accompanying publication in the Journal of Applied Crystallography . It was developed by my friend Jasmin Maglic, whom I supported during the development. We just release the web version of that tool . One might ask since when I am working on chemistry software…
I was recently asked what I use my NAS for. Let me explain why it might become an essential piece for your home IT infrastructure. I recently bought a QNAP NAS (TP-231P3) to solve the issue of having multiple computers but no central place to save the data. The time machine backups run silently in the background without the need to plug in disks. Libraries like movies, picutres, music and book are…
In vorherigen Arbeiten skizzierte ich die Möglichkeit einer führenden Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI)-Assistenz und die nötigen technischen Voraussetzungen für eine persönliche Assistenz . Nun wollen wir diese Betrachtungen der KI um die Implikation für die Ideen der Aufklärung erweitern. Mündigkeit nach Kant Selbstverschuldet sei der Mensch unmündig,…
