Why HN links it

HN readers link Ramhiser's practical setup guides, such as installing TensorFlow on AWS and connecting IPython/Jupyter notebooks to PySpark. Commenters cite them as working references for those tasks.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

My immersion in statistics and machine learning started many years ago when I was still a student.

    once you have to install a GPU device driver, CUDA, tensorflow itself, related python packages like numpy, and you have choices of native installer, Linux packages, pip, conda, there's potential to find yourself in dependency hell, all of those layers are evolving rapidly. I found these helpful (on AWS) - http://ramhiser.com/2016/01/05/installing-tensorflow-on-an-a... - http://tleyden.github.io/blog/2015/11/22/cuda-…

  3. Interesting. I wonder how this compares to an IPython notebook? While I haven't tried it, I imagine that you can use pyspark from an IPython notebook and have much of the same functionality as with Apache Zeppelin. Makes me wonder if it wouldn't have been better to just extend IPython notebooks instead of starting a new project. Edit: How to run PySpark from an IPython notebook[1] [1] http://ramhiser.com/2015/02/01/…

  4. Getting IPython/Jupyter connected to Spark isn't hard. I did it following a combination of these two guide: http://ramhiser.com/2015/02/01/configuring-ipython-notebook-... http://thepowerofdata.io/configuring-jupyteripython-notebook... Edit, if this is interesting then... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10496385
