Ask HN: Is it still meaningful learning deep learning for GPU tight lab?

spark_chicken — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 17:00:57 +0000

Hi,

These days when I do literature reviews for the trending research, I find that most of the useful models need insane amount of GPU to train. As a student in a small lab, we are lack of GPU power. Is it still meaningful if I stay in this lab to learn deep learning??? I felt like all my work is like a toy...feeling lost, any advice?

i have tried it. it is really fast! I know making a real-time voice bot is not easy with this low latency. which LLM did you use? how large LLM to make the conversation efficient?

New comment by spark_chicken in "Language is primarily a tool for communication rather than thought [pdf]"

This article raises an interesting point, but I think it may oversimplify the relationship between language and thinking. While the authors provide some convincing arguments, we should not ignore the role of language in internal thought processes.

Many people, including myself, often organize and sort out their thoughts through internal dialogue. This "self-communication" may not be external communication in the traditional sense, but it does help us structure and refine ideas. Language provides a way to structure our thoughts, allowing us to examine our ideas more clearly.

In addition, certain complex abstract concepts may be difficult to form without language. While basic cognitive processes may not rely on language, high-level thinking - especially in fields such as philosophy and science - is often closely linked to language.

I agree that language is a powerful communication tool, but I think it is also a thinking tool. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that language serves both communication and thinking, and the two are not mutually exclusive.
