    imbrock got a reaction from CodyT in Which keyboard to chose   
    I've got a Ducky Shine 6 and I've been super happy with it. I've even spilled water on it twice, and tea on it once. I've completely disassembled it twice to clean said spillage, and it currently works great.
     
    I'm going to give it a 10/10 for durability.

    imbrock got a reaction from cameron shanks in Making a Google Assistant.....   
    From the research of done into it so far it can mostly be done with off the shelf software. There seem to be a few decent speech to text programs that can be used, though i still have to pick up that kit off adafruit. I want to try and custom bake my own whole set at some point but that one seems good for a starting point.

    Hello everyone, 
    I was wondering if it was posable to make a Google Assistant and I don't know how I would do it.
    If I find something that could be able to help other people I will post it here...

    There are adapters, they are usually specific to the brand of lens and camera but they do exist.

    imbrock got a reaction from notoq in LF a wqhd Monitor for coding and gaming   
    I just basically recommend BenQ monitors to everyone, I use a zowie gaming monitor from them for gaming and work, never been happier with a monitor I've had. They've got good colours, good refresh rates, great panels all around. 21:9 might be useful for long code lines but other than that I don't know what the benefit would be. at wqhd I don't see the pixel density difference between 27 and 32 being a huge issue, I'd probably go with the larger one just  because the extra space is nice to have sometimes.

    imbrock reacted to GoodBytes in It seems like every windows update for the last few months is broken.   
    It was always like this. Even back in Windows XP days. The only difference is that Microsoft used to shutup about it, and the media didn't care in reporting it. The company is more transparent. The issue is that when security issues are fix, some programs may stop working correctly or have perforance issues. They are billions of programs, it is bound to have issues with some. And in most cases, in general, they are speciaty software affecting a small group of people... and even then, with the deployments of update block, you reduce the affected people even to even less.
     
    Could Microsoft do better, absolutly. No question about that. But nothing will ever be bug free, no matter the company.
    In Microsoft case, they have been doing changes to try and improve this. Time will tell if they are improvemenst, results takes time.
     
    As for the May 2019 feature update. The update is not released yet. This only concenrs Insiders (beta testers), and the people who are registered to MSDN, and willing to manually get the ISO and upgrade to this update. (the target is for companies who develop softwrae, given them a chance to test the latest release candidate their application, and report to MS of any issues). And if Microsoft doesn't have time to fix it before it is released, then no issue, an upgrade block will be placed (already is, even before the article), and voila, the affected people won't get the update until the fix arrives.

    imbrock got a reaction from r2724r16 in Has LMG's YouTube content gotten Better or Worse?   
    My only complaint is that some of the coolest stuff has already been done. Multi gamers 1 cpu, so many mini pc's and pc's in consoles, all of which are my favourite types of videos, get harder and harder to do since they'res only so much you can escalate the situation.

    imbrock got a reaction from Nicnac in Anyone good with pytorch and stuff? Will pay u a coffee   
    Yeah its a heck of a time to wait to see if the changes fixed anything.

    I think it may be combining the loading times and the processing times, though there is a chance the github user content media bits are accessed a bit slower than most things we're used to.

    Yeah the cu100 just bumped the version up to the newer one with support for newer gpus, apparently the older ones don't support tensor cores or something.

    So glad we got that working for you. Its been a fun project. Cool i'll shoot you the link

    Thats really strange, I wonder why its running out on yours but not on mine, they should more or less be the same...

    I assume your Runtime > Change runtime type > is set to GPU.

    Are you running the script fresh after it fails or closing out the tab and reopening it to try again?

    I noticed that during the first run it updates # Work around with Pillow being preinstalled on these Colab VMs, causing conflicts otherwise.
    !pip install Pillow==4.1.1
    # Work around with Pillow being preinstalled on these Colab VMs, causing conflicts otherwise. !pip install Pillow==4.1.1 to the 4.1.1 version from 4.0.0, could be related to that.

    Other than that I'm not sure, I really didn't like how my photos came out of the 42 anyway and am running it at 30 like the dorothy photo.

    It really shouldn't be running out of memory anyway, maybe try with just 1 for sure small picture to see how it goes first

    Looks like it crashes out trying to do a colourize with version 90 of cuda, I think they changed a call name or something. I'm testing it out back at cu80 with fewer passes first then I'm going to look into bumping up the cu version

    Ahh yes the code lab server, I'm derped this morning.

    I just updated
    accelerator = 'cu80' to accelerator = 'cu90' Trying it now to see if it fixes it. If it doesn't I'm going to try dropping the render factor just a little bit. The new versions of things could be eating up more memory than before.
