It’s fine! Totally fine! Because they have Copilot.

Badumm tss

I’ll see myself out…

Colin McRae Rally 2.0 for the PlayStation.

I wanted a PlayStation so much but simply didn’t have the money. I was saving for it.

But bought the game so I could go to my friend’s house and play it on his PlayStation.

If you read my very first comment on this, I didn’t even talked about deterrence.

I mentioned the consequences that if someone (attacked or attacker) uses a nuclear weapon.

The actual nasty effects, like radiation.

I don’t care about deterrence at this point. I care about people. People that will die if this is carried out.

Sure if someone says “I have nuclear weapons so you will obey me.”, of course others will also have nuclear weapons so they don’t get bullied.

But my point is way past that.

But I am asking to the people doing the attacking, but also asking to anyone who has and is capable of launching a nuclear weapon.

I’m not judging or disregarding who has nukes as form of deterrence, but the “technical” consequences of a nuke.

We learnt about Hiroshima and Chernobyl (although Chernobyl was a nuclear accident and not a launch).

I mean the consequences of actually using the nukes…

I understand having nukes as a deterrent, but think about the consequences of an actual launch, in either side.

We know who always pay the death price, and they are not the ones in power.

I don’t get why I’m being downvoted when pointing out the bad consequences of a nuclear strike, in fact, I don’t care. My point still stands.

Ok, I get it.

And what about the consequences?

Have they thought about that?

Am I missing something here?

How nuclear weapons can be a safe path, or a matter of survival?

Do these so called “leaders” have in mind the catastrophic effects of launching nuclear missiles?

All they want to have nuclear weapons so they can bully their neighbours or enemies, until someone launches a nuclear attack and then everyone retaliates.

But they have any idea about the after effects? Isn’t Chernobyl a hard lesson for these people?

Seriously, the world is being run by selfish lunatics with too much power in their hands.

I would never guess that a winning lottery ticket would come as ram sticks, but here we are.

What you mean sharing data? Like a database? Or files?

I use Hetzner, from Germany. They are good and relatively affordable. But they have increased the prices recently.

You also have Scaleway, from France, also good.

It depends what you want to achieve.

Portugal used to have a distro called Caixa Mágica (Magic Box), that was mainly used for kids in school, usually in dual boot with Windows. This used to be the way kids would have access to the Linux ecosystem for the first time.

Also some government branches also used it as alternative to Windows, I believe.

But since Caixa Mágica was a government venture, they made it proprietary, so it’s not widely available to download.

Also, I have no idea if this distro still receives any updates and improvements.

Some bit of history, certainly.

And then you take a bath in wine or beer, while you consume it.

Ah! The dream. 😅

So what they doing is basically piracy.

And not just them, any AI in that so called “race” is allegedly doing it.

So why do we get punished if we download something from the Internet?

My M1 MacBook Air is still alive and kicking (although I dislike being an American brand - bought it before the whole American mess).

But if I was in the market looking for a laptop, definitely would be a Tuxedo.

Now that’s a truly plot twist.

Tuxedo laptops seem like they have a solid build.

Nice design and I think they are based in Germany.

They even provide their own OS which is based on Ubuntu.

Be careful!

Author made an announcement that Smartube may be compromised.

Read his notes.

Excellent. So let’s try to do that instead.

From what I can see from the docs, Gradio is used to build a web interface and have a nice UI to visualise things.

Let’s put Gradio aside for now and sort out Pytorch in Docker.

Select your LLM and make sure Pytorch works well with that.

If you run into trouble or get stuck let me known.

I’ll grab my laptop and try it myself.

nice starting point: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon-ryzen/en/latest/docs/install/installrad/wsl/install-pytorch.html

Fair point.

So what about Tensor flow and some local LLM to do the job?

You just need to find a reliable LLM in HuggingFace, for example.

Ok so from the error, you have a version of pillow that is incompatible.

You have to downgrade pillow to version 11.

That’s the first step.

EDIT: Sorry just saw the rest of your comment. Do you really have to use that tech?

You have other alternatives. Amazon AWS has a service for handwriting ocr, can’t remember the name though.

You can also have a look at this, but it’s paid: https://www.handwritingocr.com/

More ocr alternatives: https://github.com/michaelben/OCR-handwriting-recognition-libraries

+1 for tesseract. I knew about this one a while ago. It may not recognise all handwriting, but you can train it to get better at it.

So if you follow the instructions from the link again, can you make it work?
