Sigh. Amazon has a nice AMI (disk image) for deep learning, but it's 75 GB in size. Just keeping one idle with Wolfram Engine installed would cost 7.5 USD (plus taxes) per month. I think one could easily do with an image less than 10 GB in size, including CUDA and WE, but that's more work to do...

@CarlLange I noticed that as well. It's in all of his recent posts.

@SjoerdC.deVries Everyone has little tics like that - these days, I over-hyphenate. I suppose it's more that his posts are so long that it really shows sometimes

@kirma I noticed this the other day: github.com/arnoudbuzing/wolfram-engine-docker I'm wondering if there's a provider somewhere for gpu-enabled containers

(having mild fun at imagining a big kubernetes cluster of wolfram engines)

@user21 I tried to answer this, without success. mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/199577/turing-patterns I wanted to share the notebook I have in case anyone else wants to continue. dropbox.com/s/hb1ru7k9pryjszo/Turing2.nb?dl=0 I am pinging you because there is already an answer saying that NDSolve did not work well for solving a system but a direct implementation did.

@CarlLange Discussion on the password file on that page might indicate that it's not much of a license violation to copy the password file from instance to another as long as the number of running instances is withing licensing limits...

To clarify the issue above: I have been wondering about two activation limit on free WE edition in the case of experimental creation of virtual machine images. Maybe I don't need to overcomplicate the issue.

I've been waiting to give this answer for years:

Finally an opportunity :)

@ChrisK It is so odd that your username always suggested to me someone in their twenties and now I see a paper of yours from 1999 when I was literally still in school.

@halirutan heh .. BTW we just arrived in Leipzig for the rest of the year, we should have a beer if you're still here

@halirutan Are you relying on some sort of nickname-to-age neural network (or so called "hunch")? ;)

On a related note on somewhat absurd deep learning experiments:

@ChrisK That's great. I'm busy the next two weeks but after that we should definitely meet up.

@kirma Probably. I'm sure others also have some weird internal representation of people they only know online.

@halirutan Surely so. :)

Hey guys, I don't really know what I'm doing and I'll probably maybe get yelled at for using the MIT license, but also again no idea what I am doing! But also, this: mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/199606/… is pretty cool, if I do say so myself. Anyone have anything better? I should actually use this to do my work now, though! Hope y'all like it :D

So I wrote a long thing and it was all elegant but I don't feel like typing it again haha--how do you remove the duplicate tag, possibly only visible to me currently, on a question which you failed to click on the edit question to resolve possible duplicate button, and instead just provided a normal update to it for general clarity? Also--if anyone has better methods please share :D this is an immense improvement in functionality for me, and I hope for others as well!

(I'm just lazy and have a hope someone apter than I can provide an easy automated method for Greek/Cyrillic keymapping which uses the desired conventions! Or maybe can provide a method to automatically update the KeyEventTranslations.tr)
