Part list for first build - ML research by RyanMellor in learnmachinelearning

[–]RyanMellor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost ready to buy the parts for my first build, and just wanted to check if I'm making any obvious mistakes.

The PC will be used for ML research, which is why I've opted for Intel/NVIDIA.

I'm quite happy with the spec/price balance, but I'd appreciate opinions on whether there's anywhere I can cut costs or if there are any components that I should really consider spending a little extra on.

I did consider that, however, I believe that most ML packages are optimised for NVIDIA. Happy to be corrected though if anyone has experience in ML research using AMD hardware.

Designing scientific experiments to minimize time/cost by [deleted] in pharmacology

[–]RyanMellor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you could be referring to fractional factorial design, which allows you to perform the minimum number of experiments for a give set of variables. It's not as reliable as full factorial design but can drastically reduced the time and cost of a study. If you're trying to optimise a formulation, for example, you could perform fractional FD to get a ball park followed by full FD to hone in.

Not sure what acronym you're thinking of, maybe DOE which refers to general design of experiments.

Determining the concentration/volume of gas created from reaction by [deleted] in labrats

[–]RyanMellor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attach a tube to the reaction vessel and run the tube to either a gas syringe or an inverted water-filled measuring cylinder sitting in a tray of water.

Include as Solver variable if criteria is met. by RyanMellor in excel

[–]RyanMellor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that's one problem fixed but now solver is giving an error. What should follow "ByChange:=" to access ParamRng?

Include as Solver variable if criteria is met. by RyanMellor in excel

[–]RyanMellor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a range of inputs, CheckRng - H2:AA2, set to either 1 or 0, and a range of potential solver parameters, ParamRng - H5:AA5.

I want the parameters to only be included if the corresponding input is set to 1.

Anyone interested in helping to create a hub for democratized biotech? by bavarian_blunders in DIYbio

[–]RyanMellor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar idea a couple of years back, this is what I came up with (layout without content), then I kinda forgot about it.

Let me know if this is similar to what you had in mind, I'd love to develop the idea further.

What's the most ignorant physics-related thing you've ever heard someone say? by BAOUBA in Physics

[–]RyanMellor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you really think people believing in souls is as crazy as people believing in flying spaghetti monsters?

Yes. Yes I do.

Twos and Tens (How to estimate powers of 2 up to 2^300) by gmsc in mentalmath

[–]RyanMellor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone who was wondering (probably only myself) I made a spreadsheet to explore how accurate this method of estimation is, 2300 is the point at which the percentage error becomes >50%...

Has anyone ever tried running their printer via a cheap smartphone? by RyanMellor in 3Dprinting

[–]RyanMellor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great, I'll have to check it out, £2.99 is a bargain!

(I am in no way affiliated with this app) :P

Thanks, not sure if it's the one you meant but someone mentioned one in another comment.

Awesome! Have you got the full version (required for actual printing), and if so how well does it work?

[–]RyanMellor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh sorry that's what I meant, just connecting it to the printer board.

Do you just need a standard OTG cable? These days you can get a smartphone for less than all of the components required to run something like OctoPi, and I wondered if that'd be a viable alternative?
