Local AI: VS Code + Ollama

usually this is quite slow... compared to cloud based AI... but it can work... 

 How To Integrate a Local LLM Into VS Code - The New Stack

Integrating VS Code with a local LLM like Ollama offers a powerful tool you can leverage for whatever coding or coding-adjacent need you have.

The extension in question is called Continue. 

book: The Simulation Hypothesis

 Amazon.com: The Simulation Hypothesis: An MIT Computer Scientist Shows Why AI, Quantum Physics, and Eastern Mystics All Agree We Are in a Video Game (Simulation Hypothesis) (Audible Audio Edition): Rizwan Virk, Ray Greenely, Rizwan Virk, Penguin Audio: Books

"Are we living in a simulation? MIT computer scientist Rizwan Virk draws from research and concepts from computer science, artificial intelligence, video games, quantum physics, and ancient mystics to explain why we may be living inside a simulated reality like the Matrix.

Simulation theory explains some of the biggest mysteries of quantum and relativistic physics, such as quantum indeterminacy, parallel universes, and the integral nature of the speed of light, using information and computation.

Virk shows how the evolution of our video games, including virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing, will lead us to a technological singularity. We will reach the simulation point, where we can develop all-encompassing virtual worlds like the OASIS in Ready Player One or The Matrix—and in fact we are already likely inside such a simulation."

Not $100. Ten. And the kicker? They're using salt. Yes, the same stuff sitting on your kitchen table. But CATL makes more lithium batteries than anyone else on the planet. They're literally winning the lithium game. So why are they suddenly pivoting to a technology that's been considered second-rate for decades? No technical papers. No detailed explanations. Just bold claims and two new products ready to hit the market. So is this the real deal that changes everything? Or are we looking at tech hype that’s too salty to swallow?"
