It is python 2. Here is the version info
Python 2.7.12 |Anaconda 4.2.0 (64-bit)| (default, Jul 2 2016, 17:42:40)

I just figured out what was wrong with it. I used sudo when running the install_gpu.sh and all of the created directories were own by the root user including .jupyter in my home directory.
I just changed the ownership to my own user and this time it works.
chown -R username: ~/.jupyter
I am using a pretty budget setup. AMD fx 6300, with 8 gb ram , and a gtx 1070.
Using a hard drive. I have it set up on a debian 8 headless computer that I purchased just for ML tasks.
Just in case anybody is on a super tight budget.
My costs are
processor(AMD fx 6300) +motherboard (combo) - $110
RAM (8gb) - $30
ASUS GTX 1070 (got from shenzhen)- $350
Case - $30
HDD - $20
Total - ~$550
Although I am not sure how a CPU (and other parts like ram,hdd vs ssd) affects a GPU’s capability in the context of deep learning.
But I am able to run most models on a GPU at sane speeds
Even with a GPU a good CPU makes a significant difference, but you should still get pretty good times with the 1070. A lot better than AWS I’m guessing.
The AWS instances use a very expensive card ($3,500) compared to a 1070 ($400) but you only get one half of the card (the K80 is basically two cards in one). Doing Part I the 1070 is more than twice the speed of the AWS P2 instance. I haven’t worked on any projects large enough that ram was a deciding factor, but I suspect with the mini batches the ram becomes less of an advantage (within reason).
even though i7 has a limit of using upto 64gb ram , why a lot of people are preferring that. I am considering Xeon server which allows scaling till 1.5 tb ram.
Titan X pascal is not available in India ,any idea how can I get it.
Is this the place to ask about laptops that would be recommended for Deep Learning as well? I’m kind of overdue for an update anyway. Jeremy has his MS Surface Book. I was looking at a Razer Blade 14" which has a GTX 1060 onboard (something about the laptop being VR ready) with 8 GB Memory. There are laptops with a GTX 1080, but that might be too much weight and cost for my needs.
I’m getting really intimidated by the discussions since I’m not a hardware person. In long term, I do understand that having a personal deep learning machine is beneficial but I’m not able to get my head around it.
I’d never done anything more technical to computer hardware than replace RAM until this past week - it wasn’t that bad.
Here are the parts of my build with rough price estimates, could definitely be improved. One thing I’m noticing is that I might have been better off with a CPU with more cores - more workers to preprocess data. Would probably get the 6850 instead of 7700 if trying this again (Xeon would be even better if I wanted to make a >2 GPU machine).
Get a CPU with the manufacturer cooler (can be bought without), don’t bother with a third party cooler for now. The first fan I bought was missing pieces, delaying my build, and if it has a backplate it will be the most annoying part of the build (and you need to install before installing your motherboard unless your case has a window to the back of the motherboard).
