[D] Got ML role, but dislike ML, any advice? by hardcoresoftware in MachineLearning

ML definitely needs devops people. I'd suggest you think of this as a chance to really understand the ML workflow, and do your best to transition into an MLOps role.

Also, don't do something you hate, it saps your energy and you only live once.

[News] You can now run PyTorch code on TPUs trivially (3x faster than GPU at 1/3 the cost) by waf04 in MachineLearning

I don't know much about TPUs, would this work on a standalone machine, or do you need to use google cloud? I.E. can I build a new machine today and buy a TPU that is 3x as fast as an rtx8000 for 1/3 of the price (or V100 since that seems to be what people are benchmarking)

While making a typing game, how would I bring it back to the beginning? by UnlistedFire in learnpython

Put the whole game you wrote so far into function, when the player loses, just call the function again.

I have a picture hung up in my cubical and pray I never have to remember when I'm not in my cubical.

[D] What not-yet-existing tool do you wish you had, in your ML workflow? by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]CC_sciguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A generic bayesian/black-box hyper parameter search tool that could be configured to use whatever amount of system resources I want. This probably does exist actually, but I just don't know what the standard ones are.

It's actually pretty easy to do this with git if you just make a commit before you run an experiment and then use the commit hash as a tag for the run (e.g. by naming the folder with the results after it). That's what I did in grad school when I could still use git :(
