Mistral-finetune
https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-finetune
> mistral-finetune is a light-weight codebase that enables memory-efficient and performant finetuning of Mistral's models. It is based on LoRA, a training paradigm where most weights are frozen and only 1-2% additional weights in the form of low-rank matrix perturbations are trained.

I'm applying to software engineering jobs and there seem to be fewer jobs than a few years ago but somehow there are more recruiters. I get constant inbound solicitations from recruiters but not many interviews with people actually hiring. Something seems off...

I’ve been exploring the Library of Congress’ collection of old American newspapers and it’s incredible. You can download images of the papers as a PDF or download the transcribed text. Anything written before 1929 is in the public domain.

> However, the spread of this wasp is slow (Munger, 2002). Munger (2002) suggests that in time, the chalcid wasp and Rose Rosette Disease (RRD) will overlap in range as combined bio-control agents working in concert to controlling this pestiferous exotic.

> The rose seed chalcid, Megastigmus aculeatus var. nigroflavus Hoffmeyer is a wasp native to Japan, but has become established in the United States as a naturalized beneficial insect. Female rose seed chalcids (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) lay eggs in the hips of multiflora rose plants and the developing larvae feed on the seeds disrupting seed maturation and development resulting in substantial seed mortality.

Does anyone have experience using Rose Seed Chalcid (Megastigmus aculeatus var. nigroflavus) for Multiflora Rose control?

@npub19dc…2uxg @npub1pa5…ats2 Cool video! Yeah I'm guessing building a printer from scratch isn't going to be possible as an individual. Ideally there would be a way to install open source software on an existing printer to disable the tracking dots.

@npub1pa5…ats2 I was surprised that there weren't any open source paper printers too. If you search "open source printer" all the results are for 3D printers.

Is it possible to buy a printer without spyware? Are there any printers available that support open source firmware?

Are there any good p2p online marketplaces in the U.S. for selling things used. FB Marketplace is ok but there are a ton of scammers. Is Craiglist literally still the best?

I’ve had a few people reach out to me to ask how secure Argos Translate is.
I try to take security seriously; but of course all software has bugs. To my knowledge, to date, no one has found a serious security vulnerability in Argos Translate or LibreTranslate. It’s probably inevitable though that ArgosTranslate/LibreTranslate or one of it’s dependencies will have a security vulnerability at some point.

@npub1k9p…zlxn "Well, it's possible, but extremely impractical."
This is the conclusion I'm coming to. With Byte Pair Encoding it's much easier to write your own implementation.

Does anyone know if it's possible/practical to run SentencePiece models in raw Python?

I just released a new (user contributed!) English-Russian model for Argos Translate that seems to have much better performance than earlier language models. If you speak English/Russian I would love to hear feedback.

I'm really excited about IPFS and FileCoin as a technology. But, every time I've tried to host a file locally on IPFS it hasn't worked. Is their software totally unusable or am I just dumb?
