You should be able to do that right now on vast. You just need to rent the gpus yourself with your own on demand instance(s) for your training job. As soon as it finished you then stop or destroy those instance(s) and…
Key context here is vintermann had a balance due (and gave no indication that he disputes that). Of course there should have been a better explanation - especially if asked for. But to the extent there was a mistake,…
I'm glad you mostly? liked our service. Here's a better (long overdue) explanation: our billing system attempted to bill you because you had a negative credit balance (owed us) - most likely from forgetting to destroy…
That doesn't imply they can run WaveNet yet - for inference this net is sort of worst-case serial. Their TPU ASIC is almost certainly highly parallel, like a GPU - actually has to be that way for energy efficiency…
>You're right on many points. My observation is, when it comes to deeper Ai that trends towards AGI, the private sector seems lost in terms of the big ideas and applications. The VCs are also lost and have no idea on…
This notion that AI/ML requires tons of data that only big tech companies have is at least partly a myth. Big private datasets are important only in narrow domains - if you want to train an ANN to do ad prediction or…
This is a pretty good summary, but to note this is not a new unsupervised technique - it's a sparse coding method, and sparse coding has been around for more than a decade. Summarizing this paper without mentioning the…
That is not generally true. For example, GANs work great on MNIST, pretty well on the flower dataset, and ok on bedrooms. But the same techniques currently fail on ImageNet - which actually is a much larger dataset.…
>How do you "synthesize ideas" if not by combining parts of your own personal database of images/concepts? Procedural generation can be far more complex than just linear blending, which is all that a shallow net can do.…
