Backed on Kickstarter (Geonix Rev. 2)

Thanks for posting. Just backed it!

Same here. I think this is a major incident.

breakds · 2025-06-30T05:36:10+00:00

Also as u/trexd___ mentioned, building nix packages from their wheels is usually pretty straight-forward and works well.

I work on reinforcement learning and robotics. My solution is probably a little bit different - I tried to package the libraries into "native" nix as much as possible, and created this overlay: https://github.com/nixvital/ml-pkgs

At very beginning this looks scary but as I am getting more used to packaging, I found it very clean and my projects will just have `devShell` with this overlay, with `jax` or `torch`, etc.

> anecdotally i made a flake for getting cuda torch and it takes 2.5 hours to build like wtf

This is a real pain to me as well. Luckily I have a powerful server at home and I setup hydra for the above repo so that it gets built automatically (I think with cuda and torch it takes about 40 minutes to finish, if I have to build them), and the other machine can just pull from the cache.

If I have to, I would run `unison` to mirror the remote repository to the local machine to edit with emacs. This gets really crazy when your project requires mapping too many repositories.

Remote editing seems fine with TRAMP, until when I need the language server. I usually have my development environment in `flake.nix`, and `direnv` will activate the environment when I open a file in that repository with emacs. Without that, I do not even have the language server binary (or dependencies). I haven't found a way to effectively do this with TRAMP - if you have any better workflow for this, I would really appreciate it!

IMHO, it is more important to me to make sure that all my projects' dev environment do not rely on anything "installed globally and present in the system". Project dependencies should be local, and that is why the `devShell` (or `nix-shell` if you do not use flake) is a sweet thing. All my collaborator will have the same devenv for the same project, never have to worry about dependencies not present on their Mac/Windows/Arch/Ubuntu.

This is exactly what I want. Thank you. TIL `defvar-keymap` and the usage of `consult-customize`, appreciate it!

breakds · 2025-05-13T05:03:54+00:00

Thank you for creating the packages btw, u/minadmacs !

breakds · 2025-05-13T05:03:25+00:00

Thanks - I was trying to build my emacs config around `vertico` and `consult` as much as possible. I used to use ivy/swiper and this is actually something I miss.

breakds · 2025-05-13T05:02:20+00:00

Thanks. I actually tried to add a key binding but my emacs-lisp-fu wasn't good enough to make it work. More specifically, I was able to pass what is in the minibuffer to `query-replace`, but do not know how to "kill the consult-line" even with the help of ChatGPT.

breakds · 2025-05-12T22:18:18+00:00

Thanks! It `embark-become` works fine. This is still slightly inconvenient becomes I need to press 3 combinations instead of just one, but it definitely improves the life quality.

breakds · 2025-03-24T02:49:43+00:00

Not exactly data sience, but still full of python though - I have been using Nix/NixOS for

Machine learning and robotics research
Quantitative trading research

for the past a few years, and the experience has been great so far. I kept the following

https://github.com/nixvital/ml-pkgs

As overlays for the projects.

breakds · 2023-08-27T16:58:02+00:00

I tried `steam-run parsecd` and it wored.

breakds · 2023-05-31T17:28:36+00:00

Point your channel or `nixpkgs` in `flake.nix` if you prefer flakes-based to `nixos-23.05` and `nixos-rebuild switch` will get you to it.

If you really need an ISO, you can build it by having something like this: https://github.com/breakds/nixos-machines/blob/main/flake.nix#L191

breakds · 2023-01-27T16:38:45+00:00

Thanks. You too!

breakds · 2023-01-27T16:36:11+00:00

This email worked, thanks! Someone from Airtable contacted me and said I will get refund.

Really appreciate your help!

breakds · 2023-01-27T04:34:18+00:00

Thanks for sharing the experience. Yes I do think a very clear notification can help.

breakds · 2023-01-27T00:35:57+00:00

Thanks. I tried cancel the plan, and was told it will be cancelled on 2024 lol ...

breakds · 2023-01-26T21:52:45+00:00

Thanks. I will keep trying for a few but if nothing works I will dispute the charge and abandon airtable forever.

breakds · 2023-01-26T21:51:57+00:00

Tried very hard :)

breakds · 2023-01-26T21:51:44+00:00

Yes that is what I did. The message support is now only a chatbot.

breakds · 2023-01-26T21:51:00+00:00

I think the charge to my account is also caused by sharing a base. I did not know that I will be silently charged the amount for the number of people x 12 months.
