All the ones I mentioned can be installed with pip or uv if I am not mistaken. It would probably be more finicky than containers that you can put behind a reverse proxy, but it is possible if you wish to go that route. Ollama will also run system-wide, so any project will be able to use its API without you having to create a separate environment and download the same model twice in order to use it.

Ollama for API, which you can integrate into Open WebUI. You can also integrate image generation with ComfyUI I believe.

It’s less of a hassle to use Docker for Open WebUI, but ollama works as a regular CLI tool.

For notes, I have moved to Joplin with the option to synchronize my data using a WebDAV server. It works really well, and it has both a mobile and desktop app. If you’re interested in developing your project, maybe you can have a look at the options this provides. For example, I really like the ability to separate notes between groups, assign tags, create drawings, and the possibility to use Markdown.

Good luck with your projects! To mirror @enemenemu’s suggestion, I would also look into collaborating with the people trying to push the EU Docs alternative. Not sure if that will work, but it’s worth a shot if you’re interested :D

Thanks! I was actually looking at this, but I gave up because I couldn’t really figure out how to get a multilingual model running through Obtainium. I’ll try again :D

Ok, but there are laws involved here. In Romania, you can’t be president if you are under 35 years old, or, among others, if you have a criminal record. The people that were stopped from running for president weren’t barred because they went against the mainstream parties, but because they openly promoted personalities that were doing the equivalent of the Holocaust in Romania. This is punishable by law by up to 3 years in jail, and they’re being actively investigated.

The lady in this post was previously denied her run in the summer of last year, and she kept quiet about it until now because they probably told her they won’t pursue it further if she steps back. She took the deal, probably because she realises that she’d rather keep grifting on Facebook than spend 3 years in jail.

How can you have democracy if you let people vote for a person that says he will remove all political parties? There must be checks and balances that stop you at some point. Also, Romanian law prohibits candidates with ties to fascist or extremist ideologies from participating in elections. That’s in the law, introduced by people that were democratically elected.

But lets be honest, it’s the not being hostile to Russia that did it. Can’t have that in a US colony where they plan to have the biggest base for their imperialist wars.

Sure, the US that is now serving up its allies on a silver platter to Putin? His friend Trump is going to revert sanctions any day now for that sweet oil. For power in the Middle East, maybe, but the EU is hopefully going to wake up soon and kick all American bases ASAP.

And who helped the openly fascists ukranian to power in 2014?

Firstly, the Euromaidan protests didn’t get hundreds of thousands of people attending just because they got brainwashed by the EU/US. Allegedly, Russia attempted to do the same thing in Romania with Georgescu, and only a few hundred people showed up to protest the decision to take him off the ballot. People in Ukraine felt betrayed when Yanukovych wanted to reject EU and get closer with Russia, a country that has had 146% voter turnout during one of its recent elections. Arguably, maybe the EU is not the best, but its system is way more decentralized than Russia’s, allowing better representation of its population and reducing the chance of corruption. At least we don’t hear people that are criticizing the government “randomly” falling out of windows here…

Secondly, Poroshenko was openly fascist? Or whom exactly do you mean? If I’m not mistaken, Poroshenko assigned a Jewish person as his prime minister. Or you might be hinting at the Azov Brigade being integrated by him into the national army? What would you do when Russia starts invading your country, though? Either way, you might be right that it is in the benefit of the EU (and perhaps US) to have closer ties with Ukraine, but it goes both ways. Ukraine did not like what happened in Georgia, and wanted more security and pro-democracy allies. That does not mean that the EU made Ukraine into a Nazi puppet state to fight Russia.

No, democracy is when you are intolerant with the intolerant. Maybe read up on what she says/does before commenting.

Fooyin is also a solid choice.

You can also generate a lower quality image and use an AI upscaler to increase the size of your artistic QR code.

Piracy. I’d buy albums if I had money, though. I’ll slowly phase into getting them once I get some more cash.

I can find most stuff I listen to, and I rarely grow my music library. I mostly listen to 20-30 albums, with some more mainstream music peppered in.

My music library currently sits at 90 gigabytes (mostly flacs), so quite small compared to others I’ve seen around here. Still, I have plenty of variation to keep me entertained :D

If you have Tidal, aren’t there some apps to rip the lossless audio from there? You could get most of the stuff that you need, and then cancel the subscription. If you feel bad, maybe order some merch from the band, haha.

You’re right. I read past the “I want to learn ML” and went straight to “do something useful with the data”.

If the goal is to understand how modern LLMs work, it’s also good to read up on RNNs and LSTMs. For this, 3Blue1Brown does an amazing job, and even posted an in-depth video about transformers. I’d watch that next, followed by implementing a simple transformer in PyTorch (perhaps using the existing blocks).

You could argue that it’s important to design everything from scratch first, but it’s easier to first go high level, see how the network behaves, and then attempt to implement it yourself based on the paper. It is up to OP how comfortable he is with the topic though 😁

Depending on how much compute you have available, you can look into finetuning models from HuggingFace (e.g. Llama 3, or a smaller Phi model). Look into LoRA, and try to learn how the model you choose calculates the loss.

There are various ways to train, and usually involves masking the input by replacing random input tokens with the mask token. I won’t go into too much detail with this, because it’s a lot to explain, and I suggest you read an article on this (link1 or link2)

Job market seems terrible right now, especially if you’re just starting out. Had a friend that applied to ~100 jobs in tech, and a majority of them didn’t even reply back.

But the same can be said about bad HR as well. How many hiring teams have no idea what a candidate is supposed to be doing?

The Framework 13 inch model should be plenty, especially if you want to dev on the go. Much more lightweight and smaller, and you can connect it to external monitors if the screen size is not big enough. Also, you shouldn’t have issues running Linux on either laptops.

Instead of going for the 16 version, I would use the extra 900-1000 euros (that’s the amount I saw I could save between the two almost maxed-out models) to make a dedicated server or mini-cluster to run your workloads. Deploy Kubernetes or Proxmox on it, and you’ll also get some more practice on it outside work if you want to run stuff for your home lab. That is only if you don’t want to game on your laptop, but I’d still put that money aside to make a desktop.

It’s amazing that Linux gaming is becoming a thing that’s better sometimes than Windows gaming (minus the getting banned part in some games). I also like that AMD is making some big pushes on open source drivers, plus their ROCm open-source alternative to CUDA.

This is a great time for Linux users! :)

What a stupid article. It’s like saying “stop using electric vehicles because you can’t use gas stations”. I don’t understand why he’s so adamant about this? It’s not like Wayland had about 20 years of extra time to develop like X11. People keep working on it, and it takes time to polish things.

It’s a cooling block for the GPU, and apparently it can knock off up to 20 degrees. However, it is crazy expensive, like 900$.

Some good recent ones are:

• Dr. Stone
• Kaguya-sama (Love is War)
• Spy x Family
• Chainsaw Man
• Jujutsu Kaisen
• Megalo Box - A hidden gem tbh, especially season 2.
• Akudama Drive - Pretty interesting, and I’d say it’s worth a watch.
• 86 - It has 2 seasons, and I think 1 was better.
• Classroom of the Elite
• One Punch Man - You might have already watched it, but S2 came out more recently.
• Mushoku Tensei - Okay, but the MC sometimes crosses the border on perviness (actual degenerate behaviour). Kind of off-putting sometimes (and I almost quit it because of it), but the world building is great compared to other isekais.
• Deca Dence
• Re:Zero
• Demon Slayer
• Oshi no Ko - Haven’t watched it myself yet, but I heard it’s fked up and good.
• Mashle - A hilarious parody of Harry Potter.
• Overlord - Haven’t watched since S2, but I hear it’s good.
• Saiki Kusuo - Trust me, this one is worth it if you like Japanese humour.
