Doing it right now

Only if there’s a bug in the code that needs fixing!

Like a cat watching a laser.

I wrote a telegram bot that sends me the loss after each epoch so I can stay informed when I’m not home, lol

Oh I also obsessively watch my model predict (whenever I can), but not on the primary screen.

You guys are so cool, I wanna be just like you. Hopefully I’ll make it!

No, but I do obsessively watch my model trains.

What can I say, I like graphs AND progress bars, so if you mix the two …

Yes, because one time (years ago) our rickety scaling system went off the rails and spent like $10k on idle EC2 instances before our equally rickety monitoring caught it.

I can’t help myself. I remote in and visit my tensorboard way too much.

Now I understand the importance of subreddits with this question. The same question can be used in various use cases.

If the training time is less than an hour, yes.

Yes! Back then I was a student and I had nothing else to do.

I do it somewhat compulsively and honestly it’s a problem for me. I am working on ways to mitigate this while still using the dopamine productivity boost it provides. I think for me it’s the intermittent nature of the reward that gets me

I usually watch it for the first few minutes. Gives me a big dopamine rush after all, heck it’s the main reason why I love my job.
