Lesson 1 In-Class Discussion ✅

It looks like the link to ‘Amazon Web Services EC2’ on the http://course-v3.fast.ai/ website is broken. It links to http://course-v3.fast.ai/start_dlami.html not http://course-v3.fast.ai/start_aws.html .

@jeremy @rachel what’s the difference in installing pytorch and pytorch nightly? is it a cpu - gpu difference?
Any ideas on how i can use windows to use this setup of fast ai v1?

That might be a bit dangerous. Not sure how stable master is on a daily basis since its in active development. Caveat emptor.

Windows isn’t supported by pytorch v1 yet, therefore it’s not supported by fastai v1 yet.

No documentation when I search “ImageDataBunch” on the fastai.docs. How to read more about this?

Why doesn’t everyone just use Google Colab instead of Paperspace, Amazon. etc. Colab is free .

Please don’t ask installation questions now. Jeremy will be explaining how to install and set up as part of the class.

Hasn’t PyTorch supported Windows since v0.4?

Nigthly build (code) are deployed every day/night. They are tested/fixed every day. They can be unstable. I would say follow the recommended installation method initially.

Any thoughts on the difference between pytorch & its nightly version?

Not for all of us, it doesn’t work for me, see:

Exactly what it sounds like. pytorch (stable) pytorch nightly (latest/greatest/bleeding edge)

It’s supported, but they have no binary builds yet. You can build from source. there are success threads in the forums.

Colab doesn’t support pytorch v1 yet, therefore it doesn’t support fastai v1 yet.

The latest version (the preview of version 1) doesn’t support windows (or MacOS on GPU) yet.

Working well for me.

I am running the notebook on colab right now, so not sure what the lack of support is, but I haven’t bumped into it, yet.

Colab does not appear to work with pytorchv1/fastaiv1

Yet we have a mouthful of issues and errors thread in the forum :wink:
You can make it work somehow, but it’s not fully supported.

You are bound to run into dependency issues soon. I tested with colab unsuccessfully.

how do we add messages in chat… i see only reply as the option
