Founder has all the control - Employee has none. So employee takes more risk. Founder has all the information. Employee wouldn't even know, if the stock was diluted twice. Or if the company is going to seize to exist next day. Employ

On the contrary, Google AIY Vision kit has Movidius Myriad 2 (MA2450) DNN accelerator, not just Pi Zero.

There are a few other, less expensive kits: AIY Vision Kit from Google, with Pi Zero ($50). Jetson Nano + IMX219 ($90).

There is also no VC money in this. Even mature areas like static code analysis are a dead water. There will be a renaissance in tooling, once AGI is realized ;)

If you are using a compression algorithm, you want to use optimal algorithm, right? That is performing compression nearly optimally, right? Well, this is a step in this direction. Compression is an AI-complete problem :)

To add to that, a step to use anything from Google is a step onto Google's infamous "deprecation treadmill". A rather frustrating lifestyle (unless you are inside Google and your code gets updated/maintained in the mono

These systems do have a feel of cellular automatons. Questions like: why every proton is exactly the same? how particles interact? why are these clouds of particles? have much neater answers, if there is a correspondence of a "stab

In that particular case tax money were used on peer-reviewed research. Rather than emitting carbon driving a tank or flying yet another airplane. Not that bad.

For ESP32 there are better options, for example you can get RoverC base from M5Stack for 45 dollars. And, if you want to be closer to more realistic robots that run full stack software, there is JetBot from NVIDIA.

Is there a way to make people care? Personally, I think, for United States it does make perfect sense to redirect, say, half of the military budget onto solving real homeland security issues: climate change, sustainability, ecology, pandemi

It is not necessarily an intentional backdoor. This simply could be an unmodified engineering sample code with no security. It is a hard problem to solve. It is of advantage to China to flood US and European markets with cheap AND insecure

It seems that voters are deciding mostly on charisma and cult of person, rather than the message. It'd be likely better, if that decision is made based on character - the pattern of thoughts of the person, rather than the charisma - at

by dchichkov 6y ago
Who knows, maybe out of that more attention will be paid to a message, rather than the person. Cults of personality had always been problematic. And, technically, this allows to grab the personality and dissolve the cult.

Yep. The age of engineer doesn't matter. Do take ethics into consideration. Be aware that dual-purpose systems can have long life and change owners.

It is not a good idea to protest on the streets right now. It is selfish to protest on the streets. First - it spreads COVID. Which kills people in thousands . Second - it prolongs shelter-in-place and associated damage. Third, likel

Work. Volunteer. Take care of your family. Vote. It's a bit of a bad timing for protests right now - easily exploited, will likely result in negative change.

Yes, if your model is small enough or, if you are fine-tuning small number of layers. TendorFlow 1.15 and 2.0 are available on Xavier. I understand that PyTorch could be built as well. Nite that the number of CUDA kernels and amount of memo

Yes. To add to that, leakage of information is very hard to eliminate during back-testing. Even a fractional bit of information is already too much. In academic papers this is usually ignored.
