 pie_ | hah.. I have figured out I mostly don't like ML . I dont like the "am I an idiot or do I just need to throw more compute at it" factor | 02:26:11 |
| pie_ | I like to be certain that im an idiot | 02:26:20 |
 tpw_rules | so you are trying with less? | 02:26:23 |
| tpw_rules | but big mood | 02:26:27 |
| pie_ | the story is I have some access to oldish uni hpc cluster so I figured Id try to un unity's mlagents toolkit on an hpc node for my "intro to reinforcement learning in practice" course | 02:27:12 |
| pie_ | * the story is I have some access to oldish uni hpc cluster so I figured Id try to run unity's mlagents toolkit on an hpc node for my "intro to reinforcement learning in practice" course | 02:27:18 |
| pie_ | I have access to the cluster because uni side job, and of course I hadnt ever actually logged into it because I was doing other job related things | 02:27:45 |
| pie_ | so there I am doign research for the project onhow contianers and namespaes and stuff works | 02:28:00 |
| pie_ | and I log in | 02:28:04 |
| pie_ | and its rhel6 2.6.32 , uname says a 2013 build | 02:28:17 |
| pie_ | and im like | 02:28:19 |
| tpw_rules | and find out all that stuff is a decade in the future | 02:28:22 |
| pie_ | uh guys | 02:28:23 |
| tpw_rules | mine is rhel7 but i can't convince the admins to raise the namespace limit above 0 | 02:28:36 |
| pie_ | ill just note none of this stuff is supported by the kernel on the machines kekekeke | 02:28:44 |
| tpw_rules | * mine is rhel7 and 3.19.something but i can't convince the admins to raise the namespace limit above 0 | 02:28:46 |
| pie_ | well, I'm going all in on proot | 02:29:02 |
| pie_ | its worked so far | 02:29:09 |
| pie_ | idk about performance overhead though | 02:29:16 |
| tpw_rules | i assume then those don't have GPUs | 02:29:16 |
| pie_ | /actually/ the ydo | 02:29:32 |
| tpw_rules | oh? | 02:29:38 |
| pie_ | but ill be happy to just figure out cpu stuff for starters first | 02:29:40 |
| tpw_rules | see if you can get nixGL and virtualgl going | 02:29:54 |
| pie_ | idk te enterprise gpu stuff, k20s and k40s or soemthing, also something about xeon phi | 02:30:06 |
| tpw_rules | i intend to write up and publish how i did that at some indefinite point... | 02:30:07 |
| tpw_rules | ooh | 02:30:17 |
| pie_ | * idk the enterprise gpu stuff, k20s and k40s or soemthing, also something about xeon phi | 02:30:20 |
| tpw_rules | xeon phi is firmly in the nerd kitsch category at this point i'm pretty sure | 02:30:36 |
| pie_ | but yeah its ~10 year old hardware | 02:31:20 |
