 CRTified (old handle) | There is a nix kernel in https://github.com/tweag/jupyterWith | 07:41:57 |
 jbedo | https://github.com/tweag/jupyterWith is similar | 07:41:58 |
| jbedo | xd | 07:42:18 |
 necrophcodr | Well, it spins up an instance with those kernels available, but what the guix-kernel does is allow you to use Guix directly in a notebook, allowing you not only a kernel per cell, but a kernel environment per cell. | 08:14:43 |
| necrophcodr | I'd prefer to use Nix for that though, if something like it exists. jupyterWith is not close to that behaviour, and wouldn't work on a self-hosted jupyter platform as far as I can tell, especially for the users of the platform (which is my core focus as a data scientist) | 08:15:59 |
| necrophcodr | jupyterWith is great if what you want to do is setup a reproducible simple environment on your own system or for yourself, or for a general reproducible platform, but not for individually reproduced (even foreign) notebooks on a hosted platform. | 08:17:22 |

There is a nix kernel in https://github.com/tweag/jupyterWith The nix kernel might be very useful though, if it's possible to spin up other per-cell kernels in that | 08:19:04 |

|  Rémy Grünblatt changed their display name from Reventlov to Rémy Grünblatt. | 12:36:43 |
 Carl Thomé | Wonder if anyone is thinking about seeing ML model training as a nix-build and adding the resulting model binaries to the nix store, similarly to how DVC does it:
https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/project-structure/internal-files#structure-of-the-cache-directory
Crazy? Reproducible experiment tracking as a build process rather than application state? | 21:35:28 |
| jbedo | Yeah I do that a lot | 21:38:54 |
| jbedo | Also run bioinformatics pipelines similarly: https://github.com/papenfusslab/bionix | 21:40:03 |

 Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | Makes sense that the outputs (including intermediate ones) should go in the nix store and be immutable | 06:39:46 |
| Jez (he/him) 🌦️ | Although how do you deal with nondeterminism? Would it work to consider the RNG seed to be as part of the build input to recovery reproducibility? | 06:41:46 |

| jbedo | i set my seeds so it's deterministic | 06:48:58 |
| jbedo | there's that new non-determinism feature of nix that might be useful if you can't do that | 06:50:38 |
