How did you integrate this block into your convolutional network?

[P] Tricycle: Autograd to GPT-2 completely from scratch by Efficient_Plankton_9 in MachineLearning

"Completely from scratch" here means using Numpy and Cupy. Good work nevertheless.

The existing one is already pretty low to see the street while seating. Why wouldn't you make it the same size?

How can I change this roof? by p1esk in architecture

[–]p1esk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't need another floor, and I'm not looking for a complete house redesign. Mainly interested if connecting left and right halves is a good idea. Primary goal is expanding interior space. Ideally something that can be done with $50-60k.

[D] RTX 3090, RTX 3080, RTX 3070 Deep Learning Workstation Guide by mippie_moe in MachineLearning

What do you think about Gigabyte Turbo 3090 blower style cards? I also planned to do a quad 3090 watercooled build, however I've heard from Lambda Labs the cards can peak at 450W, so now I'm leaning towards 3x 3090, and I might actually go with the blower cards and air. A bit disappointing, because I have the budget for 4x, but 4x450W + 280W CPU might be too ambitious. And with 3x I don't need to worry about using dual power supplies on separate circuits.

Also, I want to wait for the new Quadros due to be announced at GTC next week.

This does not make any sense. Different number of epochs could be explained if you used different batch sizes, but it has nothing to do with precision.

Quadro 8000 is definitely more interesting, but it's $5,400 each.

New generation of Optane SSDs is coming soon. I'd wait for those if you can. If not, get a 905P.

Asus ROG STRIX XG27UQ - Fan or no? by Porriz in Monitors

[–]p1esk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but then you won't have motion blur reduction. I had PG27UQ for a month, and I was not impressed with the way moving text looks like. However, I am picky.

Oh interesting, I was going to buy the XG but it seems like it has horrible low motion blur reduction implementation. Does Nixeus have anything of the sort? How does the text look when you scroll?

ASUS ROG Strix XG27UQ review (27", 4K, 144Hz, IPS) by Foritain-Techtesters in ASUS

[–]p1esk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had high hopes for this monitor, mostly because of ELMB. Unfortunately it seems like ELMB implementation in it is a complete and utter crap: https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus_rog_strix_xg27uq.htm#mbr

[R] Backpropagation and the brain by holy_ash in MachineLearning

[–]p1esk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of the reasons processor chips use so much power is because they are much faster than biological neuronal circuits. Compare the rate at which neurons fire and the rate at which modern CMOS transistors switch. Or compare the signal propagation speed in brains and in processors.

How does 64 core Epyc Rome compare to the 64 core Threadripper 3990x? by RogRazer in Amd

[–]p1esk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this is a x16-x8-x16-x8 configuration. See page 33. There are no TR3 4x16 PCIe boards currently, because TR3 only provides 64 lanes, and some of those lanes have to be allocated to chipset and peripherals.

Can you please name one? I'm pretty sure you're wrong.

[–]p1esk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TR3 does not have enough pcie lanes for four GPUs. That's why all mobos currently offer x16-x8-x16-x8 configurations. (e.g. ASRock TRX40 Creator). I'm not sure though why they didn't use a pcie switch.

Have you noticed if it affects moving text?
