I deeply appreciate Colab. I bought a nice home GPU rig a few years ago, but seldom use it. When I am lightly using Colab I use it for free and when I have more time for personal research the $10/month plan works really well. I can see occasionally paying for the $50/month plan as the need arises in the future.
I am working on an AI book in Python. (I usually write about Lisp languages.) About half the examples will be Colab notebooks and half will be Python examples to be run on laptops.
In any case, I like the soon to be implemented changes, sounds like a good idea to get credits and see a readout of usage and what you have left.
- cperry 4y agoThanks! I think people will much prefer this over the current opaque system. I read every feedback submission in Colab so if you ever have feedback you'd like addressed, send away.
- mardifoufs 4y agoThanks a lot for collab, I have access to really powerful compute from my job yet I still find myself using collab a lot. The only problem I had with it was the very vague FAQ and the spotty resource allocations but the new faq is much better. Thanks again!
- cperry 4y agoI hope it works better for you, please send feedback if it doesn't!
- anymoonus 4y agoColab is awesome, thank you. I'll take the opportunity to request better editing ergonomics: the ability to connect from Jupyter/notebook-supporting editors and IDEs; the ability to open/edit .ipynb files from the local disk and/or Github without having to first put them on Google Drive. Colab/Jupyter and friends are reinventing many wheels around editing code, and it would be nicer for them to support tools like Jupytext.
- cperry 4y agoWill add to my list, thanks!
