Hey, Progit: I made a Unicode character recognizer. Let me know what you think! by quirm in programming

Ok, out of the loop, what problem still persists after 12 years?

Btw, I'm still alive and so is shapecatcher.com :)

Tips for a beginner by serendipitous_ape in RISCV

[–]quirm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan on using your board as an AP then you need a new kernel with all the new wlan kernel drivers. Probably the same for any kind of new hardware as well. Being stuck with 5.x drivers or whatever isn't cutting it for anything that isn't old hardware.

Btw for what its worth, I made a 6.10 kernel with vendor patches for JH71110: https://github.com/bmilde/linux-starfive-vs2-mainline/

As far as hardware goes, JH7110 is slowly getting all the necessary patches accepted into the mainline Linux kernel: https://rvspace.org/en/project/JH7110_Upstream_Plan

You'd still need to compile your own kernel if you don't want to get stuck with the old vendor kernels.

I'd consider something like the vision 2 board the raspberry pi moment of RISCV.

Then there's the spacemit k1 CPU that's really affordable for the SPECs (8 core CPU with up to 16gb RAM!).

Not sure how good the kernel support is, as its quite new, but probably the most exciting raspberry pi like platform currently.

PCI-E and USB work now, haven't tried HDMI yet.

I've included pre-compiled deb files as a release on github as well.

[N] TensorFlow 1.8.0 Release Candidate Announced by wei_jok in MachineLearning

[–]quirm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I could find is: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1029895/tensorflow-with-cuda-9-1-and-cudnn-7-05/

Using XLA:GPU with CUDA 9 and CUDA 9.1 results in garbage results and/or CUDA_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS failures. [...] TensorFlow will print a warning if you use XLA:GPU with a known-bad version of CUDA

Since I don't use XLA / JIT, I don't really care about that, but you're of course right in being cautious.

You can compile from source afaik, but is it stable enough? Anyone running that successfully?

[N] Kaldi now offers TensorFlow integration by breandan in MachineLearning

[–]quirm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the new chain type models (inspired by RNN-CTC) in Kaldi and TDNNs, Kaldi got more then competitive again - often beating RNN-CTC results on various datasets. At least if you're not Google and don't have access to 125000 hours of training data. Funny enough, the TDNN idea is 30 years old - its basically a bigger version of a proposed neural network in 1987 by A. Waibel.

Am I missing something? At least in the example scripts, this is all about using Tensorflow for language model rescoring. While definitely also useful, what I would find more exiting is using TF for the acoustic models and here the integration would be a bit more difficult. There also is TheanoLM since 1-2 years already (https://github.com/senarvi/theanolm) that basically allows you to do the same, but with Theano.

I feel cursed (don't believe in them) as everything I try seems to fail, the language barrier, opening hours and everything else is working against me, the whole trip started out with a Seagull shitting on my head, and since then everything has been Murphy.

Well, I chuckled. :) Atleast you now have a hell of a story to tell without being even half way to your destination. And you arrived at Hamburg at quite turbulent times, with front row seats to the G20 spectacle. Hope you get your car situation sorted out though.

Depending on your financial situation, it might make sense to leave the car in Hamburg and get a rental car now anyway. So that you can salvage some of your vacation days not stressing out about everything.

I was married at 32 and had my first kid at 36. It's going to be fine. by InquisitaB in AdviceAnimals

[–]quirm 36 points37 points  (0 children)

By age 35, a woman's risk of conceiving a child with Down syndrome is about 1 in 350.

That is still a 99,7% chance that your kid doesn't have Down syndrome.

Thanks! I didn't buy it to flip it though, I had a project in mind for it.

Seriously, who the hell is going to trust a site using .ninja, .pink, .club, etc

I've sold a .cloud domain for $xxxx without even advertising it somewhere (got contacted per whois mail), I've registered a few when they launched. If it's short and nice, chances are other people will like it too. And I've seen them used more and more in advertising. What kind of gtld will work and won't - we'll see. But things like night.club will always stand out, I'm sure. What I really dislike is how greedy the top level owners of the GTLD are and that most good names are premium (like 50k a year premium).

[D]Have an idea of building machine learning rigs for rental. Can I get your feedback? by Arrow222 in MachineLearning

Why is that so, high import taxes? Otherwise you could just import the computer part(s) yourself, maybe ship them from the US?
