> should include optimization of interactions with the load balancer, e.g. where to terminate https, etc. I'm curious - is there a case where you want to terminate HTTPS on end device instead of (only) on load balancer?

A year is actually not that much for porting such a huge legacy system to a new platform. I imagine most of the work was making the interfaces from/to other platforms.

I think parent was answering the usage of XML in this use case, which is not appropriate. XML has many strengths (as you have outlined), but it has also been (mis/ab)used so many times that it gained bad reputation. What my GGP suggest

I agree with you, but that is probably something that belongs to a plugin.

Which is the same as with anything else really. You need to practice to be good at something.

Ok, allow me to me rephrase GP: will this make it possible (in the long run) to train tensor flow models on AMD acceleration cards in a supported, easy-to-use and performant way, comparable to what NVidia is offering?

The key word is "eventually". CV is making huge progress lately, but it is nowhere near human level yet. My guess would be that the first generation of self-driving cars will use Lidar because it means shorter time-to-market. Late

Sure - but I am guessing a few errors here and there would have much less impact than a single programming mistake. Not that I think this is the right way, but I do understand where they come from.

Retention! Always focus on retention. If people keep using your product then you have product market fit. If they keep leaving - you have an uphill marketing battle.

I find it much easier to estimate the time it will take if I take myself out of the picture. When estimating, I always try to think "how much time would it take for my colleagues to plan, execute, test, etc... something"? It is al

Of course Go players probably saw it coming. Also, Google knew that he needed to leave good impression, not just beat the best human player.

This. They are not making paper out of stone, they are mixing limestone in plastic. No doubt there are some benefits to it (less plastic is used - though not 80% less because limestone has higher density), but marketing this as "paper&

This is the perfect answer! Nothing else matters in this situation. The only problem with the picture painted by OP is that he is reluctant to let go of control, which is exactly what he should have done a year ago, at least partially. Nobo

Thank you for the clarification!

Genuinly curious: isn't the whole point of cryptographic hash functions that they are slow by design, so that they can't be made faster?

Actually, your experience sounds great! In general, it is much easier to find people with narrow interests. While it might seem to you that you are not employable, this is just an illusion - there are many developers, but few with experienc

I respectfully disagree. Of course you need to really understand backpropagation for any advanced stuff, but it is easier to ignore it at the beginning. Take Keras container, copy some MNIST example from somewhere and tweak it. Then, when

This just means that it is broken by design and will probably never be fixed. Nice. Does anyone know about similar AMD vulnerabilities?

I had no idea they have this, but it would probably be an overkill for SO. An ordinary (nVidia) GPU which starts at $150 is roughly >10 times faster at NN problems than 4 core CPU.

Yes, of course. I seem to remember that their data is still in their own datacenter though, so they might not be comfortable with using Amazon for this.

by annnnd 9y ago
Why $150k? Ordinary GPU (<$1k) would probably be equivalent to 56 CPU cores, if not faster. I imagine the reason for using CPU was that they would throw it out anyway, so there was no need to make an ideal solution - and they already had

It is a wide field. There are people building tools (obviously needing strong maths) and people applying tools to real-world problems. Don't get me wrong, you will benefit from learning math behind the concepts, but being a competent s

Maybe this post should be "Show HN"? I am happy for you, hope this grows! However, may I suggest you add to description on GitHub page some more info? Performance is only a part of equation and description only talks about that. D
