@VictorTaelin Take a look at guix. Based on nix but uses scheme (guile). Lets you express the whole OS in a single expression. Very easy to add new package definitions and to host your own "repository" (use git). Still slow and early stages. I don't like hidden binary bloat.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

🧵 A common problem when annotating text categorization examples is class imbalance. It's a pain to annotate a thousand just to find that rare class. Turns out, LLMs are good at this job.

In line with this, we're releasing Prodigy textcat recipes powered by GPT-3!

[Matthew Honnibal @honnibal]

We've been working on new https://t.co/Bm8UTLziDB workflows that let you use the @OpenAI API to kickstart your annotations, via zero- or few-shot learning. We've just published the first recipe, for NER annotation 🎉 https://t.co/ArmFcPE8EG

Here's what, why and how. 🧵

One thing I think we can all agree on: Twitter has just been so much better since the new owners. The quality of discourse has improved, and people are nicer to each other. The rollout of new features and policies has been smooth and transparently communicated. Kindness abounds.

The only useful part of any language is trash talk. 💚

We’ve created a Fowl Language generator so you can cheer on or insult teams in other languages. ⚽
