Learning AI if You Suck at Math -- P3 -- Building an AI Dream Machine or Budget Friendly Special

Welcome to the third installment of Learning AI if You Suck at Math. If you missed the earlier articles be sure to check out part 1, part 2, part 4, part 5, part 6 and part 7. Today we're going to build our own Deep Learning Dream Machine. This machine will slice through neural networks like a hot laser through butter. Other than forking over $129,000 for Nvidia's DGX-1, the AI supercomputer in a box, you simply can't get better performance than what I'll show you right here. Before we dig into building a DL beast, I want to give you the easiest upgrade path. If you don't want to build an entirely new machine, you still have one perfectly awesome option. Simply upgrade your GPU (with either a Titan X or a GTX 1080) and get VMware Workstation or use another virtualization software that supports GPU acceleration! Or you could simply install Ubuntu bare metal and if you need a Windows machine run that in a VM, so you max your performance for deep learning.
