 tomberek | Hey, through the GitHub Open Source security program we can get a significant amount of Azure credits. Would the CUDA team be able to effectively use that? Would that make a difference in the maintenance burden? | 14:10:32 |
 SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | I'm afraid that expert-hours are 146% the scarcest resource right now (as always?) | 15:48:56 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | connor (he/him) (UTC-7): repeatedly mentioned he's been experimenting with building nixos images for Azure | 15:49:27 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | If we could have ephemeral azure instances with a mutable nix store that would be amazing | 15:50:19 |

| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | Judging by Gaétan Lepage's emoji reaction, he's already imagining them nixpkgs-reviews going brrrrrrrr. Gaétan Lepage would you have the availability for this one? | 08:01:20 |
 Gaétan Lepage | To work on the Azure stuff? | 09:16:35 |
| Gaétan Lepage | I have gained access to a beefy builder since then, so I'm less constrained than before on the x86_64-linux side of things. | 09:17:08 |
 matthewcroughan | SomeoneSerge (back on matrix): can you bump or have you bumped privately https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/development/python-modules/opensfm/default.nix#L144 ? | 20:19:03 |
| matthewcroughan | I need it for https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/442003 | 20:19:15 |
| matthewcroughan | because none of the SfM tools work properly in nixpkgs anymore | 20:19:27 |
| matthewcroughan | SfM tools are tools that take a dir of image and tag it with inferred data like rotation, coordinates etc, to pipe into gaussian splat utils like brush | 20:19:52 |
| matthewcroughan | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/438672 | 20:43:43 |
| matthewcroughan | hmm, this gets close to fixing colmap | 20:43:50 |

| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | matthewcroughan: hard pressed right now, maybe end of week... | 00:30:01 |
