Deep learning thread?
Discuss the best use for deep learning. Imho generating new pepes is the best use of deep learning. Pic related.
Lets see who can make the closest pepes

deep learning is sensationalised by the media because they don't understand it. its basically pattern recognition with trial and error
Which motherboard brands do you prefer? Which one you had the worst experience with?
>>60574860
ECS and Elitegroup are good enough for non overclocking.
Im currently using MSI, Havent had any issues so far, I've also used Gigabyte, no issues there either.
I've used Intel and have had good experiences during Conroe and Sandy Bridge era. Can't say much for it now with delid issue, and AMT hardware backdoor.
Is a CS textbook from 2001 still relevant today? I have a basic understanding of programming. I wouldn't call myself an expert of Java, but I know the basics of the language and have a bit of experience with programming. Is a book this old still a good source to expand my programming knowledge or will most of the information in here be obsolete?
You have access to all the updated texts you could need with an internet connecting you mook. Read the sticky btw.
>>60574599
Read K&R's The C Programming Language for enlightenment.

Yeah fair enough, I was just wondering because I have the book handy. I prefer the book to the screen personally but I'll use whatever helps me learn.
Is vulkan going to destroy DirectX?
Should I keep learning D12 or switch to vulkan?
Keep it portable, faggot
learn either, they're more similar than opengl and older d3d versions are so it shouldn't be as hard to switch between them
>>60574544
>Is vulkan going to destroy DirectX?
History says no. Microsoft will continue innovating while open sores lags far behind.
Why the fuck some motherboard manufactuers put a 4 pin connector, when the fucking fan is voltage controlled.
Fucking assholes
>>60574214
Well yeah but how are you gonna voltage controle it without voltage controller?
You can underpower it,yes but result will run it at one speed,that may not be always adequate to current temperatures.
>>60574290
Why put a 4 pin, when a 3 pin would be enough to work?
You expect 4 pin = PWM.
>>60574305
4pin connector offer more stable voltages ®4pin™
the way it is ment to be spin.
Now seriously,it is because of gaymer RGB bullcrap

How do I convert .opus files to .ogg? I've found nothing on google.
Opus is a codec, ogg is a container.
If you have ogg files, they already are opus.
You fucking retard
>>60573760
Uh oh. Someone asked a question on /g/. Someone call the police!
Seriously though, OP, don't expect answers to literally any question on /g/. Learning things is literally against board rules. Try a random board like /r9k/ or /b/. And no, I'm not joking. Blue boards are useless cancer. You have a significantly higher chance of getting a helpful answer from just a plain old dump board.

What if his files are Ogg Vorbis?
I have been making websites for small businesses using Wordpress Themes, but I want to learn coding so I actually know what I am doing.
Where do I start? I see a lot of job applications asking for Javascript, HTML, and CSS. Should I learn those three?
Should I just do Code Academy?
yeah doesn't really matter where you start. just get the fundamentals and start making shit.
I only know about HTML, so in regards to that, this is what I used:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/
I've been wanting to learn JS and CSS too, though, so any good sources would be appreciated!
do freecodecamp.com
Much more real life and practical but don't get overwhelmed by how large it is
One step at a time.
Also, i'd just start applying for free internships, you'll learn a whole lot more that way than by codecademy etc.
Also, if you can, buy a book that teaches you problem solving, because most of these online sites only teach you syntax and language constructs.
Introduction to C++ by Diane Zak is great, especially the first 2-3 chapters. It teaches you a basic way of solving problems usually abbreviated as IPO (input, processing, output).
Even though the book is in C++, you can easily apply the principles to JS
Also, checkout Khan Academy's Javascript courses, they teach you things like sorting, merging, Big O etc. which is much more applicable in real life, specially interviews.
Try signing up for firecode.io, it'll give you good practice for the type of questions asked in interviews
That's about it.
Also, learn from my mistake, don't just read but DO.
Google for opensource javasript projects, small ones in the beginning, maybe by individual contributors and go through code and just code something similar by yourself
Basically, don't just read but actually code.
Also, read up on SOLID principles, Standford has great free set of courses on SQL but all that will come in due time.
Good luck and don't give up.

CPUs:
>G4560 - budget builds (<$500) unless G4620/i3-7100 is heavily discounted
>R5 1500x - generally all you need for 60fps with power to spare. No i5
>R5 1600 - best value for higher fps gaming & mixed usage; 1600x if you don't want to OC
>i7-7700k - bad value but good; may have heat issues even at stock clocks
>R7/Xeon - compute/Multitask/mixed use
Graphics:
>G4560 iGPU is fine for LoL, dota2, rocket league, etc
>1050Ti at ~$105. Drop settings if not Freesync/Gsync on newer games; RX560 if discounted
>RX570 4GB - 1080p@60+hz, running most maxed; older games at 144+hz
>RX580 8GB - 1440p@60+hz, inject SMAA & drop settings for some games
>1060 - Generally outperformed by the RX 580 and GSync costs more; consider only if AMD is not an option (ie CUDA)
>1070 - 1080p@144hz/1440p@100+hz
>1080 - 1080p@90-144+hz maxed; 1440p at lower hz.
>1080Ti - 1440p@90-144+hz; 4k@60hz in SOME games, more at lower settings
>Freesync2 & Vega soon
General:

Please help me with my memory problem.
I hve an old 32-bit Win7 machine thatI need to run old software for my business, and that I literally cannot afford to replace/upgrade, and anyway I lack the brain cells to work out how to get the old software onto a new OS/machine.
Pic related is memory problem: 4G System reserved. Next couple of posts will show what I've done from googling solutions but I haven't got anywhere.
Thanks for your help /g/
Also, please be kind as I am so stupid that if you tell me to do something that will will my machine I ill probably do it...

How does Samsung mess up this bad? Why are they allowed to release such a half-assed product?
Maybe you should list your particular grievances when claiming that the number one selling flagship android phone is that bad
Eh, I got one for half price. It's pretty good. It's a phone. Don't sweat it too much. Not the end of the world.

I'm in the market for a new phone, and I'm thinking about either the S8 of the HTC U11 when it's out.
Or should I wait for the Pixel 2?
