Cohere’s command-r models are trained for exactly this type of task. The real struggle is finding a way to feed relevant sources into the model. There are plenty of projects that have attempted it but few can do more than pulling the first few search results.
I really like the simplicity and formatting of stock pacman. It’s not super colorful but it’s fast and gives you all of the info you need. yay (or paru if you’re a hipster) is the icing on top.
Don’t buy a Chromebook for linux. While driver support usually isn’t an issue, the alternative keyboard layout is terrible for most applications. To even get access to all of the normal keys that many applications expect you need to configure multi-key shortcuts which varies in complexity based on your DE. In most cases it will also void your warranty because of the custom firmware requirement.
The drive is visible to the OS so if they have any kind of management software in place which looks for hardware changes it will be noticed.
Just introducing them to it is probably enough. Show them different desktop environments and applications to get them used to the idea of diverse interfaces and workflows. Just knowing that alternatives exist could help them break out of the Windows monoculture later. Enable all of the cool window effects.
Dropping support after only 25 years? I can’t believe Linux is contributing to planned obsolescence.
Smaller communities aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Compared to reddit I rarely feel like I’m commenting into the void.
In the case of Machine learning the term has sort of been morphed to mean “open weights” as well as open inference/training code. To me the OSI is just being elitist and gate keeping the term.
That isn’t neccesarily true, though for now there’s no way to tell since they’ve yet to release their code. If the timeline is anything like their last paper it will be out around a month after publication, which will be Nov 20th.
There have been similar papers for confusing image classification models, not sure how successful they’ve been IRL.
From what I’ve heard they’re competitive for English but I’ve never used Deepspeech myself. Whisper has much more community support so it’s probably easier to use overall.
Whisper is your best bet for FOSS transcription. This is the most efficient implementation AFAIK: https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper.
Middle mouse? What’s that?
Not even remotely. It requires custom firmware which often requires physical disassembly to install. From there you can install any distro, but you will continue to have many small issues and inconveniences often due to the nonstandard keyboard.
There was a Chromebook targeted Linux distro called eupnea that could be installed without custom firmware via depthboot, but it’s dead now and the original repo got deleted after the Dev got hacked, so the build scripts don’t work anymore.
There are 2 ways to do it, either via depthboot(software only, no custom firmware, lots of manual OS prep, 0 risk) or custom firmware(maybe physical, model dependant, no os prep, small risk). For custom firmware you usually have to either bridge an internal jumper, unplug the battery, or build a custom cable, depending on your model.
While it is allowed it’s not supported by google.
I would never recommend buying a Chromebook with the intention of replacing the OS unless you’re looking for a project or you’re getting it for cheap.
As someone who has owned a Chromebook for several years, I can tell you that you shouldn’t. Hardware wise it’s hard to beat Chromebooks at their price points, but the complete lack of control over the system is a deal breaker. I don’t have time to list all of the issues I’ve had. In many cases what would have been trivial fixes on a normal Linux system required full reinstalls on chromeOS. Like the time I accidentally filled up the fairly modest system storage. The system refused to allow me to delete anything, requiring a reset just to get local file management abilities back.
I ultimately ended up installing full Linux on it, which ended up being a whole other ordeal due to all of Google’s “security” features.
That’s basically only OpenAI, maybe some obscure startups as well. Mozzila is far too old and niche to get away with that anyway.
I use okular as my primary image viewer as well. I love the middle mouse drag to zoom.
The big issue for me is that there is any disadvantage between generations. My current 5 year old flagship has a headphone jack, expandable storage, and support for Bluetooth 5.0 which is all that most devices need. The only new phones that still have all 3 are cheap budget phones that lack in other areas compared to the one I already have.
There should be no performance difference. The only difference should be in loading screens and possibly pop-in from streamed assets.
I’d guess the 3 key staff members leaving all at once without notice had something to do with it.
