Issues using Nvidia nvs 5400m (1gb memory) (deepdream)

PureJenius · 2017-02-07T03:24:42+00:00

And just to add: I know I'm not going to get great performance with this setup; I can always spin up a g2.2xlarge (or three...) on ec2 if I want.

This is a question of whether it's possible to have better performance than cpu-only mode with the NVS 5400m (1gb) I just don't know enough about this tech to have an answer.

Especially if traveling internationally... Not just Steals gift. Steals gift in different country where you can't reach them and likely have no means of finding or detecting them

If the focus was to be Pakistan-centric, it's possible that the existing shipping infrastructure just isn't great and there's actually room for a new carrier for non-international shipping. Also I know shipping in some parts of some countries is virtually non-existent because the people don't have doors much less addresses. If this had some sort of hyperlocal solution to that problem, maybe there's room for a new carrier.

But I say for a new carrier, not some crowd sourced drug mule app. The service better provide great insurance and legal assistance to anyone who uses the app...

A little late to the party, but in Milton Erickson's book on Neurolinguistic programming, "patterns", there are sections detailing Huxley taking psychoactive substances, inducing a state of self hypnosis, and talking through his experiences to Erickson (who would take notes and influence his hypnosis)

My university experience was filled with professors who cared deeply about their fields of research. They had both interest and dedication to a field that, if you also expressed interest in it, you could share. They were also allowed to be real people with real lives, faults, and emotions. I could engage with them at a personal and academic level in ways that had escaped me in high school.

Contrast this with high school, and everything felt so... bland. I'm sure a lot of it was how boring and rote the required material was and needing to stay PC for the kiddies, but there is no dedication to a single field of study or research. There isn't a chance to share in a professor's passion^{p^{h^{r^{a^{s^{i^{n^g.}}}}}}} There's just trying to teach a bunch of kids who think they know everything some basic material and hoping you don't have to fail them because they don't participate in class. And you aren't going to build up a strong relationship with them because you won't see them or work with them closely for more than maybe a semester or two.

Every high school has notable and beloved exceptions. In college (well... at least at some colleges), the awful and unmotivated professors are the exception.*

Academically, high school was dumb. It was the worst. College was infinity better at capturing my interest.

*Unmotivated in their field of study. I had plenty of professors who hated teaching but loved their field. Such are the dangers of going to a research institution, I suppose.

Ah, good point! And I guess even the reserved instances are cheaper. Maybe that's why skarp decided to buy a new computer and are so far behind, then; they set their spot price too low and never saw any instances spawning ;)

PureJenius · 2017-01-27T21:44:22+00:00

Well thank you! The vitriol in all that spyder360 thread on this sub was enough for me, so I decided to be extra careful and nice.

PureJenius · 2017-01-27T15:17:59+00:00

I completely understand why you posted this here and, further, why most of his posts were downvoted due to the factors you mentioned. However, there were a few posts of his across the two threads that seemed to be downvoted just because he was posting them. Ironically now I'm on mobile so I'm not about to try and find/link to them. I just felt like spreading some unconditional love and support.

Again on mobile so not going to look it up, but there's a study showing handsfree headsets and speech to text can be almost as distracting while driving as looking at your phone, so I don't think anyone should text in any form while driving. Stay safe, Spyder guy!

Oh jeeze I'm talking about real things. Amazon Web services are a weird place filled with weirder abbreviations.

Edit: tl;Dr it totally wasn't the point of stonewatered's post, but I don't think AWS is necessarily faster or cheaper solution.

PureJenius · 2017-01-27T09:18:43+00:00

Totally fair! Just wanted to throw some unconditional love his way.

PureJenius · 2017-01-27T01:28:07+00:00

It looks like all of your posts are getting downvote-brigaded, so here's a little bit of love:

First, on my computer, the first line of your post ends "Bashing something from behind" and I legitimately had no idea where you were going with that.

Second, so what if it's a gimmick? Let it be called a gimmick. Ellipticals were seen as a gimmick in the early 90s. Nordic track skiers? Gimmicks. Ab rollers? You betcha. All gimmicks.

What matters is finding something that gets you motivated enough to go and work out. I have no need for it and no desire to try it, but I hope you find your niche. Making physical products is really hard and I'm glad you/this idea has been able to survive 2 years.

P.S. What exactly are the rollers actually made of? You say safe for wood floors but as far as I know pretty much no casters are safe for softwood timber, cork flooring, or even some of the softer hardwood floors like elm or some types of cherry.

PureJenius · 2017-01-27T00:58:11+00:00

Is it actually faster and cheaper on AWS? I've been playing around with some machine learning stuff both locally and on EC2 and I'm really not sure how cost-effective it actually is. Hope this doesn't come across as attacking you, I'm just legitimately curious about this sort of analysis based on application.

My experience: I was recently doing some GPU-intensive computing for a neural network on EC2 recently (spinning up 4-8 g2.2xlarge instances at a time at $0.60/hr per vm)

The performance on those isn't great. Can't find the source but I think the g2.2xlarge is a GK104 running at 797 MHz. You can ostensibly get better performance than a single instance by just buying a new gtx 760 for like $150.
Depending on how much you are modeling, it's an obvious investment even on short time-scales.

I'm only guessing that they'd be choosing g2 instances to do any sort of modeling, but in theory they could have gone with those beefy C4 or P2 boxes?

While I personally agree with you about those inalienable rights, making claims about universalism/universal morality is going to open yourself up to a lot of unnecessary counter arguments that don't address your main point.

John weckert has a good quote on this as it relates to censorship, "if something is found offensive because it is believed wrong, those offended will not be placated by just keeping it away from their eyes and ears, any more than most of us are willing to condone murder which occurs away from us. That it is happening at all is offensive."

We're basically seeing this here with Catholic. The mere existence is offensive to him. Should it, therefore be censored?

This is why weckert and wolfgast later go on to distinguish between offense caused by beliefs vs unchangeable traits. The former should suffer reasonable avoidability for the sake of freedom of speech, while the latter deserves protection.

They also post a video with a working prototype video. At 1:26 you can see that the whole "projecting black" technology is still a trade secret known only to cicret. This is in, ahem, stark contrast to the main KS video.

So it's a 2lb, 1280x720 monitor that won't work well in bright conditions. I haven't done the math or anything, but the battery life and overall size seemed plausible.

Aggressive schedule for manufacturing, but who doesn't do that on KS these days?

I can picture this -- and at this price point -- in hammacher schlemmer or brookstone catalogs. I personally wouldn't label it "shitty" compared to other projects on this sub, but let's see if it ever gets shipped to backers or not.

Just a follow-up for /u/LibbyStack and /u/ApatheticAbsurdist

For indoor shooting:

1) 5000k LED lights do not emit enough IR for my camera to detect, so this ends up being perfect since I can keep my room well lit.

2) I have been able to find the 403 suitable for my purposes of occasional "cool" portrait stuff. I purchased some UV LEDs and wired them together into a grid. As noted, unlike fluorescent lights these hit a much narrower spectrum that isn't necessarily visible to the human eye, but allow for better UV photography of the skin.

Still haven't experimented or looked for any solutions to outdoor photography, but I'm in no rush. Thanks again!

PureJenius · 2016-09-03T18:38:32+00:00

You've done more than enough already!

I deserve a few "that's what she said" responses for this, but... dear lord some of those are so thick. 6+mm filter thickness.

But I guess it makes sense that the baader venus is so expensive! The Venus has 70%+ transmission (graph) versus 18% (graph) with some of the $40 filters in omegabob's store.

PureJenius · 2016-09-03T18:24:15+00:00

Also keep in mind it's not that there has to be no IR, there just has to be A LOT LESS IR than UV...

I can't believe I hadn't thought about that! I've been using two or three big ol' fluorescent blacklight tubes (which, it looks like, utilize woods glass referenced by Libby in these other comments), but I hadn't thought about...

1) Are these blacklights actually outputting in the relevant spectrum vs a spectrum that just looks good for parties?

2) Are there better UV sources I could/should be using?

Generally I find reflected UV photography to not be very useful for what I do, though you may find some artistic merit in it.

Yeah, I'm mainly using it as an oddity or value-added when occasionally shooting events or just as a fun pass-time (hence my unwillingness to put down much more money on this endeavor.) People seem to be drawn to cameras + blacklights (another reason why I chose the fluorescent bulbs) Obviously I hadn't approached this as scientifically as I should have; lots of things you guys have brought up that I should have been able to find or think through before posting here.

Thanks for the thoughts and feedback on the 403.

PureJenius · 2016-09-02T19:10:10+00:00

Fantastic, I was up late last night deep in the invisible world blog. I had come across it before but never gave it more than a passing glance. Your seal of approval has opened up a world to me.

I can't thank you enough for going through an office purge/search/clean on my behalf. Extraordinarily kind of you.

PureJenius · 2016-09-02T19:08:51+00:00

Agreed! Makes a world of amazing difference!

PureJenius · 2016-09-01T16:30:25+00:00

Innteerreeestting, and thanks so much!

Glad to know that there are ebay sellers out there who provide response charts. Just a matter of searching (thanks again for the keywords -- short pass filter)

I'll definitely investigate woods glass and see how that works out, but I also don't see UV as more than a passing-ish hobby: IR/ full spectrum is more than sating my desires for fun/interesting B&W photography at the moment anyway.

Also, I'm fine with the compose -> add woods glass -> shoot -> recompose steps as long as there isn't an obvious shortcut I wasn't thinking of. Very helpful!

Endless Fantasy - Anamanaguchi. I'll usually playthis (and other assorted chiptunes) in the latter half of long runs. Chills / instant [mental] second wind.

Wow, IG's API TOS are insanely limiting. I was going to suggest trying to get a private API key, but it looks like you'd be shut down in a heartbeat.

Anyway, some thoughts on getting around your IP issue:

1) Route these requests through tor network? IP address changing = not enough requests to even get an IP blacklisted in the first place. This article is over two years old but conceptually still looks totally relevant; forward traffic to/from your local server to whatever ports you have tor listening on.

2) two-three AWS T1.micro instances in different regions. Each will have unique IP. You can set timers so that none of them runs for longer than an hour. Worst-case we could use some basic chef scripts to detect if IP blacklisted and shut down the box/ start up a new one (comes with new IP address) Does this count as bot-netting? Against someone's TOS? I hope not.

I need to brush up on my python for some upcoming classes (going back to school), so after discussing with you maybe I'll just make a PR for it, haha.

To be fair unsupervised learning on data like voice patterns/commands is a real thing. It's not "AI", but it is deep learning that requires a very large data-set. This part isn't complete bullshit conceptually. But the idea that they'll do a better job than Google, IBM, and Apple with an incomprehensibly smaller smaller data set is an audacious and BS claim.
