| hacobjinkle | Nix is attractive for reproducibility and provenance tracking. However, for ML workflows one major limitation is that all data produced as part of a derivation resides in /nix/store. It would be great to be able to define flakes for large datasets and use them as inputs to other programs/flakes. For example define a flake for ImageNet and then get train and test splits as outputs of those downstream flakes. Currently such a train/test split would require duplication of the original dataset twice into /nix/store if I'm not mistaken. | 15:34:39 |
| hacobjinkle | apologies if there is an existing solution to this kind of data handling with nix that I'm unaware of | 15:35:12 |
| hacobjinkle | i guess the splitting could of course be done with symlinks. main question is then is there any hope of handling large datasets at rest on some storage outside /nix | 15:39:06 |
 FRidh | Nix master supports impure derivations. Impure derivations have network access, so you could write your result somewhere else. I have not tried this yet, but I imagine this going to be very useful also in CI/CD. | 17:04:49 |
| FRidh | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6227 | 17:05:19 |
| hacobjinkle | thanks. I currently use --impure on non-NixOS with nixGL to get cuda working anyway, so that may be the ticket | 17:07:24 |
| FRidh | that's not the same though, that's impure evaluation | 17:08:40 |
| hacobjinkle | i see that now. should've read before replying.. | 17:09:23 |

 SomeoneSerge (Ever OOMed by Element) | Has anyone got a working example of micromamba environment?
I've tried using it in a bulidFHSUserEnv(Bubblewrap) with this in /etc/profile:
eval "$(micromamba shell hook --shell=bash)"
micromamba activate
...but it keeps segfaulting later when I prompt micromamba activate $envName
What helps is running the eval "$(...)" in the shell manually

I am new to NixOS and wondering what's a good way to set up Jupyter. Are there opinions on JupyterWith or maybe some general recommendations? Try using jupyterWith + poetry2nix with flake.nix! It's hard but fun! | 18:33:55 |
 Felix | sepiabrown: Thanks, this sounds like a good mix. Do you have configs lieing around somewhere? | 18:38:49 |

If you are new to NixOS, the above solution may be hard!
If other advanced user could have a look at my code and have any comment for improvement, it would be appreciated!
| 19:22:32 |
| Felix | Thanks. I'll have a look the following days and try my best. Not that comfortable with Nix and its components yet | 19:28:06 |

| hacobjinkle | On the topic of poetry, do you guys have any nice methods for getting an editable install using pure nix? I use a flake similar to above with poetry2nix, which works great for creating a derivation for a python package, but I then need to run poetry shell from inside a devshell (through direnv) to get editable install. Poetry shell creates a virtualenv in ~/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs, and the module versions installed there can sometimes differ from those in the devshell. | 00:43:25 |
| hacobjinkle | poetry lock works well of course, but for packaging in nix i'd like to do most testing with the versions specified in flake.lock rather than poetry.lock, if possible. For now i do active development in poetry shell, then run tests there and again in nix | 00:45:57 |
