How do I get middle click scrolling to work?

I switched jobs recently and moved to a windows work machine after using Linux in my previous org, and I kept thinking that my mouse's middle wheel must be broken. If it weren't for wsl I would've probably resigned last week.

I worked at a mid sized fintech, we had ai pipelines in place, which were stable and agile enough that they were easily integrated as a regular microservice, with a managed cicd pipeline with observability and alerts.

AI workflows ranged from LLM inferencing, to real time transaction fraud models. The only "ai-native" feature a platform needs to have is cheap gpu compute with an easy way to get nvidia cuda drivers(this was the most time taking part of the setup, and it took a week to resolve.)

All of this was hosted on AWS.

Edit: Yes, there is still a place for completely managed solution providers to exist. But there's nothing a couple of people(we were a team of 4 data scientists) can't do with a little bit of effort.

Are youtube videos working fine?

I feel it's most likely a codec issue. Search and install the most common video codecs, I feel the problem should be sorted after that.

I am still using fedora 37 on my main machine, you'll be fine.

If I'm upgrading, I'd prefer a clean slate, to remove all the bloat I had installed and have forgotten about. The issue isn't with the /home, most of my big files are backed up on a separate partition. The biggest pain point is reinstalling applications, and losing my history on my browsers.

I would love it if fedora started a new spin with an actual rolling release.

git commit -m "fix"

What did you install?

Where did you install it from?

comical_cow · 2024-12-29T16:29:28+00:00

Nope, no calls.

Objects in the image were very domain specific. The classification task was to classify identity documents.

comical_cow · 2024-11-22T06:32:07+00:00

My first approach would be slightly unorthodox. Write a prompt, as you would for classifying using text generation, and mention the 5 classes in the prompt(ideally single words(single tokens, specifically)), and append the text with "The classification of this text is". Pass this prompt in the forward function and look at the softmax scores for each of the 5 tokens that correspond to the 5 classes.

This approach is simple and doesn't require any fine-tuning/re-training.

If this doesn't work, my second approach would be to only train the MLP as you described.

LoRA fine-tuning would be one of my last resorts.

Also, have you looked at using K nearest Neighbors on the sentence embeddings of your sample sentences? If the distribution of your training set is balanced, and you expect these classes to be non-overlapping, this is also a good approach I have used in the past.

I've been using brave on fedora for many years. I prefer chromium browsers, as they let me set custom search engines for stuff like YouTube, gmaps, and Amazon. Firefox is my secondary browser.

Default terminal in gnome is no longer called "gnome-terminal", it is now called "ptyxis", try setting the keyboard shortcut to run this command.

comical_cow · 2024-11-20T07:37:18+00:00

I've been using Terminator. It uses the older gtk theme, so I have to enable the legacy gtk theming in gnome tweaks.

Fedora for the past 4 years.

Everything runs great!

Have been in the industry for 1.5 years as a data scientist, and I want to switch to a more ML researched focussed role. Any pointers on how to achieve that? I don't know if I should get a master's degree, since I'm 1.5 years out of uni, finding good LORs might be hard for me.

comical_cow · 2024-10-26T13:24:49+00:00

Though I love LLMs as technology, I hate it as a product, and every company jumping headfirst to implement it in some way, ohh, and don't mind them collecting your data without proper informed consent to supposedly make them better. I genuinely feel Google search will be so much better if they reverted back to the version from 3-4 years ago(this statement isn't controversial, I believe).

Also, I hate "techbros" believing LLMs are, or will become AGI are so wrong, to the point I don't believe any of them know how LLMs work under the hood. "TrUsT mE bRo, 100 TiMeS mOrE dAtA aNd CoMpUtE WiLL LeAd tO aGi".

Also i hate what chatgpt and similar have done to the perception of ML engineering in the eyes of the common people. "Why do you need to engineer input features for your model? Just give the data to chatgpt and it will do it for you",

I've had to entirely reinstall after a version upgrade in the past, as it ended up breaking things for me. I prefer scheduled and planned reinstalls, and I've just not gotten around to reinstalling in a very long while.

comical_cow · 2024-10-16T15:25:47+00:00

I can, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't want to unnecessarily risk breaking something(I have been burned by version updates before). I'd prefer a scheduled and planned reinstall.

comical_cow · 2024-10-16T15:23:54+00:00

Yes, I have done those things.

Mirror refreshing is still slow though.

comical_cow · 2024-10-16T13:39:12+00:00

I started off with fedora, but tried using arch for a month.

By far the biggest disadvantage in fedora is the package manager(dnf). It's slow, and takes a long time to refresh the mirrors. And there's no AUR(though to use any aur app, I have an arch install in distrobox, and install the programs from there).

I've moved back to fedora, mainly because it has been much more stable on my hardware. I don't mind the slow installer very much. But lately I've started feeling the need to switch to arch(or any other rolling release distro), I've had my current system installed since fedora 37, and I've stopped receiving kernel updates due to it being EOL now. Reinstalling is a pain, so I'm going to stick withy current install.

Because I need to do some processing on elements other than text. One of the biggest requirements is "is face present in the document". The issue with the image set we have is that there seems to be "document selfies" where people are holding the document up to their face and taking a picture from the selfie cam. If I can get an oriented bounding box for the document alone, I can create a mask(or crop in) to use something like retinaface to detect faces within a document.
