How to install software on Linux using Snap (and why you should)


↺ How to install software on Linux using Snap (and why you should)


> I'm a firm believer in using the right tools for the right job. Because I use Linux as my primary operating system, that means I sometimes use open-source software and sometimes use proprietary. For example, I use the LibreOffice office suite (open source) but also use Spotify and Slack (both are proprietary). Very often, to install proprietary software, I have to turn to one of the universal package managers, Snap and/or Flatpak. And, as a Pop!_OS user, I have both installed, so I don't have to miss out on any piece of software I need or want.

↺ Accelerating the adoption of AI in banking with MLOps


> There is rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the finance sector. AI in banking is reshaping client experiences, including communication with financial service providers (for example, chat bots). Banks are exploring ways to use AI/ML to handle the high volume of loan applications and to improve their underwriting process. AI/ML technologies are also transforming the operations of financial institutions, providing significant cost savings by automating processes, using predictive analytics for better product offerings, and providing more effective risk and fraud management processes and regulatory compliance.


> While AI/ML offer significant opportunities for banking and financial institutions, there are several challenges that these institutions face when implementing these technologies at scale including data quality issues, compliance with relevant regulations and standards, AI/ML model explainability, bias and fairness, AI/ML model governance and management.
