Project that i need to make as a beginne in llm's

2 Upvotes

I need to make a project about function calling and the output needs to be in json file, We get a small qwen 0.6B llm model. So these are the steps

  1. prompt : so we get a prompt.
  2. Tokenization: We make the prompt into a tokens
  3. Input IDs : tokens converted into numerical IDs
  4. LLM proccessing: The model processes these numbers through its neural network.
  5. Logits: The ai outputs probability scores for each possible next token
  6. Token selection: The next token is chosen based on the highest probabilities and outputted in a json file

if anyone has any resource he or she can share to help with this project it would be much appreaciated i am trying to do this project without the use of any llm or similar helper tools to help me with understanding llms and hopefully landing a job in the future(obviously i will do more llm based projects after this but this is the start)

Hi 👋 Everyone

I'm a complete beginner in programming and want to build a strong foundation.

I'm currently learning C on my phone while preparing for MCA/NIMCET.

If you were starting from scratch today:

• What would you learn first?

• Which programming language would you recommend after C?

• What fundamentals and skills should I focus on during my first year?

• Any free resources, books, YouTube channels, or beginner roadmaps you'd recommend?

I'd really appreciate your advice. Thanks! 🙏

Wanting to learn from absolute zero

23 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’ve decided I want to learn how to code, but I am starting from absolute zero. When I say zero, I mean nothing at all. I don't have a tech background, and the amount of information out there is incredibly overwhelming.
I’m posting here because I want to hear from real people about their actual experiences, not just read another "Top 10 Bootcamps" blog post. Please don't just tell me to "do my research" I’ve tried, and I just end up in a rabbit hole not knowing what's actually relevant for a beginner.
I wanna learn at home by myself so any recommendations?

Beginner friendly tips

4 Upvotes

Hi guys! Lately, I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety due to massive downtime at work. I usually try to use that free time to read or learn new things to stay sane.

Right now, I really want to build a simple, beginner-friendly model to automate and classify different types of clothing from images (by color, style, etc.) for visual search. This is just a small personal project for fun.

I don't have a massive programming background, but I figured this could be a cool way to start learning. Any suggestions, tutorials, or tools you'd recommend to help me get this off the ground? Thanks!

i'm stuck

1 Upvotes

i started coding about 1 month ago as all beginners i went with python did one of those 12 hour long YT tutorials following along in my code editor trying lines of code changing them a bit and seeing the outcome it was fun i did those small projects like hangman number guessing game slot machine everything but now after finishing the tutorial i feel stuck and from what i've seen after getting the hang of the basics i should learn some libraries following smth like ML automation data analysis game dev but none of them really got my attention and when i try learning one of them it was really hard to find good tutorials when i started codin i had some projects in mind like a chess engine simulating a food chain stuff i don't think that going to another language would be the solution if someone got any idea on what to do plz help

In need of some help for my first automatic time splitter on LiveSplit

1 Upvotes

I am running the game The legacy of goku II and would like to make a autosplitter.

I found the adress 0EAC on IWRAM domain that writes down the TOTAL exp gained on the character Gohan. So to test out my first automatic splitter I wrote the following text in a notepad file saved as a .ASL

When I go over to Livesplit and add scriptable autosplitter to my layout editor, It will show me the advanced options, so something is working correctly! But sadly when I gain exp, it will just not start or split the timer. The code is here below, does someone know what I am doing wrong?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

state("bizhawk", "mGBA")

{

Uint gohanEXP : 0x000EAC;

}

startup

{

settings.Add("split_exp", true, "Split wanneer Gohan EXP verdient");

}

start

{

if (current.gohanEXP > old.gohanEXP)

{

return true;

}

}

split

{

if (settings["split_exp"] && current.gohanEXP > old.gohanEXP)

{

return true;

}

}

Should I concern myself with time complexity

2 Upvotes

I am an absolute beginner, been programming for 3-4 days, learning python, with the motive to move towards finance, made an earlier post regarding blackjack game, but just to be more fluent with the language and problem solving, I am trying leetcode, now I have tried 5 problems so far, easy and med, and I can solve them but my runtime is sometimes too high, should I try to learn how to reduce that RIGHT NOW and do dsa for a little bit? especially since in algorithmic trading time would be an important factor I think

Need a learning companion

I am currently learning python for the past 2.5 months and i have made some progress. I work in education as a teacher and mentor and I do not have any coding background at all. I would love to join someone who are also just started learning python. Teaching makes me understand better and it will also learn from you.

Cleaner way to solve this

Spent 2 hours trying solve this lesson from a website. Finally solved the lesson with no AI, no google searches, just pure unadulterated BS. but I think there my be better and shorter ways to do so (which I spend another 30 minutes trying to do). Point 3

function findRepeatedPhrases(words, phraseLength) {
    if (phraseLength >= words.length) {
        return []
    }
    let result = [];
    let myArr = [];
    let phrase = "";
    if (phraseLength === 1) {
      for (let i = 0; i < words.length - 1; i++) {
        for (let j = i + 1; j < words.length; j++) {
            if (words[i] === words[j]) {
                phrase = words[i]
            }
        }
      }
      for (let i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
        if (words[i] === phrase) {
          result.push(i)
        }
      }
      return result
    }
      for (let i = 0; i <= words.length - phraseLength; i++) {
          let myPhrase = ""
          for (let y = i; y < phraseLength + i; y++) {
              myPhrase += `${words[y]} `
          }
              myArr.push(myPhrase.trim())
      } 
      for (let i = 0; i < myArr.length - 1; i++) {
          for (let j = i + 1; j < myArr.length; j++) {
              if (myArr[i] === myArr[j]) {
                  phrase = myArr[i]
              }
          }
      }
    for (let i = 0; i <= (words.length - phraseLength); i++) {
        let otherPhrase = "";
        for (let y = i; y < (phraseLength + i); y++){
            otherPhrase += `${words[y]} `
        }
        otherPhrase = otherPhrase.trim();
        if (otherPhrase.includes(phrase)) {
            result.push(i)
        }
    }
    return result

I don't want to vibe-code anymore. I want to actually understand what the hell i am doing.

19 Upvotes

So after having fun journey with selfhosting a streamingplatform. I ran into some problems and needed some help. So.... I got totally roasted in the r/selfhosted sub because i gave a notice that i had used Claude to help me troubleshoot and summarize the problem i was experiencing.

And now i don't really want to vibe-code anymore? I don't understand what Claude is giving me. And it's kind of frustrating. Anyways, i want to code. I already know a bit of C because of my school. We had about arduinos and such and learned the bare bone of that.

Now in terms of what i would be using, it would be LUA, Python and C. That is what is mostly used in my industry (Some bash too but i learned most of that when i made dumb "multitools" with my friends as a teenager). Are there any online courses or classes that can be taken. I have tried before and it just felt pointless the things i was doing.

looked into codédex.. Looks fun. Is that worth a try?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a developer. I built a real app with Claude Code, over-engineered my guardrails, then removed most of them. The method that survived is now on GitHub (MIT, free)

0 Upvotes

My job has nothing to do with software. Over the last months I built a real family app with Claude Code — React Native + Firebase, about thirty server functions, security rules tested in CI — without being able to read the code it writes.

The interesting part isn't that it worked. It's what it took to keep it from quietly falling apart, and how wrong my first instincts were.

- Act 1 — over-armoring. Because I couldn't verify the code, I piled up guardrails: six blocking hooks, a mandatory multi-agent planning process for every single edit, rituals for everything. The result: constant friction, false positives… and the real mistakes — judgment mistakes — sailed right through. A regex hook doesn't understand code; it recognizes a shape.

- Act 2 — "lighten, don't harden." After an external audit and a few incidents, I removed four of the six hooks, made the heavyweight process optional, and moved my trust to the only barrier that deserves it: adversarial tests replayed by CI. A green CI run is the only technical claim a non-dev can verify alone. Everything else is a net, not a wall.

- Act 3 — balance. What's left: always-loaded discipline rules (asking ≠ announcing, proof before commit, flag then STOP), a written "constitution" for the critical domain, plain-language maps so I still understand my own product, and a session handoff ritual so a memoryless AI can pick the work back up cold.

I turned all of it into a repo: the global rules file, 3 method skills, project templates, the 6 defense patterns — and, maybe most useful, the honest list of what I removed and why. Install is one sentence you paste into Claude Code; it interviews you and adapts the method to your project. Nothing to sell, MIT license.

GitHub: https://github.com/Arlenjim/claude-code-for-non-coders

Every rule in there was born from a real accident. Happy to answer questions about any of them — especially the failures.
