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

Ah! The dream. 😅

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.

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?

Ok excellent.

Let’s go step by step.

You say you tried to configure pip but failed.

What was the error? Any logs? Did you follow the steps from the link you provided?

Depending on your question, maybe you have a lemmy group (sublemmy?) for the tech you are working with.

Or you can try ask here.

Myself and others can try and help you.

I’m test driving Deezer as Spotify alternative.

Looks really promising. You can even import your Spotify playlists and music to Deezer.

“Sir, what about Greenland?”

“Who?!”
