Although this discussion thread is about performance issues that decimated various iterations of Windows operating system, the core propostion is valid for any software. Especially all those web apps.

This is a great overview of teaching iPhone to play the drums using RNN.

This perfectly mirrors my observations so far - cloud is not the place to run your infrastructure if you are looking for performance guarantees.

Despite reassurances to contrary, it is commonly accepted in research community that perfect data anonymization is still a pipedream. There are several statistical disclosure attacks capable of de-anonymizing datasets, specially using crossreferencing easy to access public datasets.

I’ve often wondered why manipulating databases is trickier than structured text files. This takes away a lot of pain.

Recently I’ve been thinking about Sapir-Whorf hypothesis from the perspective of programming languages.

Vulkan is a new open standard API by Khronos that offers low-level control of GPUs for graphics and general purpose computation. It has been designed from the ground up around the capabilities of modern hardware.

Its hard to convey purpose and capabilities of a deceptively simple programming language. This is a good start.

There is a lot of thoughtless application of technology, where this conundrum of choice applies as the root of all evil …

Representing the diversive curiosity, an internal indicator is designed for BP algorithm, which detects the phenomenon of being trapped in local minima and the occurrence of premature convergence. Upon such detection, the neural network is activated again to explore optimal solution in search space and escape form local minima by means of stochastic disturbance.

We have to remember that what we observe is not nature herself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.
