Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?

Well, one of it's bedrooms was wallpapered and ancient looking. Very ugly. I decided to take care of it.

The wallpaper, and the three papers that came before it, are now stripped. The wall is in rough shape post-strip, and I'm repairing it. This room is on its way to perfection.

I've never done this before, and had no idea how much fun it is. There is no mistake that can't be fixed, and the instruction on YouTube is amazing. I'm having to reel myself in a bit, because I keep on noticing other things I'd like to fix myself. :)

It's sort of like the experience I had when I first started writing software. The power! My creativity is kicking in hard.

Instead of renting a GPU instance and setting up a Flask web server, you use git to push your trained model to Flux with some configuration and get back an http endpoint.

For example, you set that your input is the url to an image, and that your output should be the top classification and its likelihood, and that your model is in pytorch.

For example if you have a classifier for dog breeds you:

Make a POST to fluxdeploy.com/username/dog-classifier with json { “url”: “...” } And get back { “klass”: “Great Dane”, “probability”: 0.937373 }

No need to do your own devops, Flux will scale for you. And it’s priced per-request and cheaper than hosting your own web server. Flux also deals with versioning and dependencies.

Still working on streaming inputs like video.
