From 6db463baaac78d48e154e9c6cb11de512c556972 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steele Farnsworth Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2022 10:33:25 -0500 Subject: Rewrite Google Colab resource to emphasize GPU computation Previously, it was unclear why this was a data science resource. This version states that Colab offers GPU computation and that it can be used for deep learning, which is the reason. Also fixes abrupt change in sentence structure ("a ... Jupyter Notebook which supports e.g. !apt-get"; "e.g." unexpected). Also, expressions in backticks (apt-get) won't be rendered as code, though since Colab is mostly a beginner sandbox, I don't think the word "Debian" will often be known. --- pydis_site/apps/resources/resources/google_colab.yaml | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'pydis_site/apps/resources') diff --git a/pydis_site/apps/resources/resources/google_colab.yaml b/pydis_site/apps/resources/resources/google_colab.yaml index b8936674..5e1ca677 100644 --- a/pydis_site/apps/resources/resources/google_colab.yaml +++ b/pydis_site/apps/resources/resources/google_colab.yaml @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ -description: Google Colab is a high-powered custom version of Jupyter Notebook which supports e.g. - !apt-get to install arbitrary Debian packages to the runtime, which is very generous with CPU and memory, - and well-integrated with Google Drive. - You can share your Colab Notebooks with other people and work collaboratively. +description: Google Colab is a custom version of Jupyter Notebook that runs code in the cloud, allowing you to + share your Colab notebooks with other people and work collaboratively. + Colab offers a generous amount of memory and computation time for free, and allows you to run programs on GPUs, + making it a great deep learning sandbox for beginners. name: Google Colab title_url: https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/intro.ipynb tags: -- cgit v1.2.3
