Dillon here (CEO @ Paperspace, YCW15). I want to give a huge thanks to the YC community and all the support over the years. We have always admired DO and couldn't be happier to join forces!
Is there a way to sign up on paperspace without a phone? I've used the same VOIP number for half a decade but unfortunately it's still automatically blocked from being used for many services, this prevents me from creating an account.
Hi Dillon - congrats on the offer! I adore your product. Quick question though - how sure are you DO won't be interfering with the product and the current team will continue doing its job? Alternatively, would you like DO to take a dominant role in running the product?
We (Paperspace, YCW15) also give you the ability to run a high-performance workstation in the cloud (and soon on any remote machine!). Check it out https://www.paperspace.com
I've tried to use Paperspace in the past, but the leap in pricing (for Core) from $60/month for "2D applications" to $120/month for "3D applications" is too high. I have a low intensity, always-on (24/365) 3D application that doesn't require a powerful GPU, but nonetheless requires compute that allows for graphical workloads. I would love to use Paperspace for our case, but I currently can't. :/
I tried Paperspace and Blender would just crash the instance when rendering the splash screen demo files.
Would really like a service that works well for casual Blender usage. Vagon didn’t crash, but was too slow, even though the ping was in the low tens of ms.
Technically, published by Verso, Black and Red Publics and a couple other publishers. Translated by Bureau of Public Secrets (Ken Knabb) as well as Donald Nicholson Smith and Freddy Perlman.
I happen to be using a tablet now (Windows 2-in-1 device); going through all the examples on their Github page, all of them work perfectly with a pen (stylus)! That's impressive; something most interactive web stuff I've seen can't get right (collaborative whiteboards particularly suck at handling actual pens).
THANK YOU This seems framework agnostic – we might be able to embed this in our ember app.
I've been googling for this kind of library in the past couple of weeks and keep looking for "workflow editor" etc but simply haven't come up with any of these libraries.
We (Paperspace YCW15) have something similar at https://ml-showcase.paperspace.com/ where you can launch and run some popular Jupyter notebooks and run for free :)
CEO of Paperspace here. I'm really sorry about this. That is not the experience that we are striving for and FWIW, since leaving beta, Gradient is much more mature at this point (many millions of hours of runtime and lots of developer work). We have been aggressively stabilizing (and building out new features) over the past few years and continue to improve the product every release. My sincerest apologies for your negative experience early on I hope you will give it another try.
It's cool that you're responding in this thread, and thanks, but I just have to mention that these experiences are from about a month ago. Not sure if that's what you mean by "early on".
I'm a customer, and one thing that I think would be helpful would be to ensure that notebooks launch inside of the storage folder. In fact, I'm not sure there should be any folders other than the storage folder and another folder labelled to tell the user this data isn't going to persist, or is volatile.
I really like a lot of the features you have in place, but had weird things like files disappearing, git repos being erased except for folder name, etc.
That being said, I think there's a lot of value here, and once I defaulted to using only storage, had less issues with Gradient. I think the concept behind your company, seems to be democratizing the devops needed for getting on-demand compute, and I dig it.
Hit me up privately if you want to talk more. There's some potential ideas I'd like to discuss with you involving my employer and potentially augmenting our product with yours (and bringing customers with us). Hope that last statement tells you that despite the warts I've experienced, I really admire what you have accomplished. I'm a big, big fan of intuitive UX that simplifies high-value tasks, and I think you've achieved a lot there.
Hey, I'm old and operate in a space where most things run at single Mhz speed (but have to work underwater, in a vacuum, and other interesting places).
What does your service do? Is it like VNCing into my dev box in the shop, except (I hope) more responsive?
I’d guess he’s a spacecraft engineer who does work in a neutral buoyancy tank. In the Us that usually means NASA/Johnson. That or he’s a spacecrqft engineer at a contract firm that picks up side projects doing underwater automation work, which is not that uncommon in this small field. Oceaneering Space Systems, for example.
The second one. I've done a couple things at NASA/Ames and it has been generally fun, although there have been a couple of weird episodes (Like me not being authorized to check out stuff from my own repository due to not being a US citizen, and being told that it wasn't a unique case).
