Just that you’re limited to the number of saved and running experiments (Jobs) on the free plan. For most research/non-production environments, this is sufficient. Hope that helps.

There are referral codes floating all over the internet ;)

Paperspace Cofounder here. We just launched Gradient, a really simple and affordable DL platform: https://paperspace.com/gradient Feel free to ping me with any questions.…

I agree, how we are tracked needs to be more transparent/upfront. Clearly these companies will make every possible effort to hide what’s going on behind the scenes so this stuff needs to be regul…

Next year the AI will enter the mayoral race itself :)

How are you going to release a Broadwell based server in 2018? Sourcing Broadwell processors is already difficult today.

NVIDIA makes a chip called the P6000 that offers 24GB memory. It isn't high-throughput (HBM2) memory but regardless, the chip will benchmark relatively close to the Volta V100 and costs about ha…

HBM2 to be specific: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Bandwidth_Memory#HBM_2 …

It's my understanding that fp16 (available on the previous generation P100) and mixed-precision (major innovation of V100) are different things and the speedup of TensorCores is entirely missing …

Just to clarify, is this benchmark leveraging mixed-precision mode on the Volta V100? The major innovation of the Volta generation is mixed-precision which NVIDIA claims is a huge performance increas…

Dan from Paperspace here. Our fast.ai template is Linux based but you can spinup a GPU backed Windows instance on our cloud if you’re interested in a remote option. Our streaming tech is GPU accelerat…

This makes me want to die

People are always talking about spot pricing when GPU compute comes up which is valid but not for the ML use-case (which this article is discussing). Spot is 100% incompatible with ML training. You ne…

Dan here (also Paperspace team). Totally agree that transfer costs are a significant pain point which is why we do not charge for it. We can peer with other providers (eg with AWS we can leverage Dir…

Totally agree though the concept of the uncanny valley is based on computer generated or robotic representations of humans specifically -- not other forms of life or inanimate objects. Meaning, not ju…

Thinking that tech money can't destroy a respected hundred year old publication is naive: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/when-si... …

While the job doesn't sound like it involves "cool things that matter" and paints a pretty believable picture of working at a large corporation, I do find it interesting that this was p…

Taking a stand against companies fighting to undermine privacy is a good reason to choose a product like Firefox. I don't think it's as much about being a for-profit [3] as it is about the i…

Really interesting glimpse into this world. It's unfortunate that this article is getting negative feedback on HN. I think we all need to be careful not to belittle/condemn issues that don&#…

If you want some current generation GPUs ;) check out https://paperspace.com

One of the interesting variables in calculating ML training costs is developer time. The cost of a Data Scientist (or similar role) on an hourly basis will far outweigh the most expensive compute reso…

The citation is we're building a GPU cloud and have tested almost every GPU in existence :) Just kidding, here are a few examples: http://vfio.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/v…

GTX drivers become crippled when the card detects the presence of a virtual environment. This means you can't run GTX in the cloud, otherwise, cloud GPU prices would be much lower. Without the …

100% agree with this article. The cloud is where heavy computational work belongs but it's not trivial to leverage these resources today given the complexity of existing offerings. We built http…
