Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath andphysician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. Young described the characterization of elasticity that came to be known as Young's modulus.In 1804, Young developed the theory of capillary phenomena on the principle of surface tension. There are even much more things done by this great scientist.

"The experiments I am about to relate ... may be repeated with great ease, whenever the sun shines, and without any other apparatus than is at hand to every one."

GCP-Tensorflow- Install Tensorflow-GPU with CUDA 8.0 and cuDNN 6

Hello everyone.. (This is the entire process. I will edit this post with images and format it properly later.) Today I'm gonna show you how to setup a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) GPU instance and install Tensorflow-GPU with CUDA 8.0 and CuDNN 6. (I'm not showing you how to register for GCP and get a Quota increase for having a GPU in a zone .. If you want me to show how that is done, comment below.) Let's begin... 1)  Open cloud.google.com and login to get to your console. 2) Navigate to Compute Engine -> VM Instances which appears by clicking on the Hamburger icon ( three  horizontal bars ) 3) Click Create 4) Choose all your requirements. I need 4 vCPUs and 15GB memory and a K80 GPU with 50GB storage having Ubuntu 16.04 Image. I will allow traffic from both HTTP and HTTPS. Observe carefully what I'm doing.. 6) The instance is being created. Meanwhile let's get links to download CUDA 8.0 and CuDNN 6. You need to have an account at NVIDIA's d...

Hi guys . . . This is a short tutorial about setting automatic Shutdown without the need for any third party software/tool. Let's get into it. It can be done in two ways . . .  Method 1 Using CMD Open CMD and type the following code into it shutdown -s -t 1000 (The number 1000 is 1000 milliseconds. Change it depending on the amount of time you want the system to be on.) If you want to abort this automatic shutdown then type the following code into the prompt shutdown -a (This aborts the automatic shutdown which has been initiated from the previous command.) Method 2 Using a batch file Batch files are generally used to execute a set of commands on launching them. In order to create a batch file for automatic shutdown, open Notepad. Type the following code into it. shutdown -s -t 1000 (The number 1000 is 1000 seconds. Change it depending on the amount of time you want the system to be on.) If you want to abort...
