Justin, XLA sounds interesting. Do you assume you always have CUDA sources for ML operations in XLA? I was under the impression that closed-source libraries like cuDNN were used. Is it possible to accurately evaluate the profitability of

Does anyone know what kind of sensor can detect levels of pollen in a personal space? Are they available for purchase at a reasonable price?

I understand your frustration. I too graduated from such a private college with a CS degree in 2003. Here is why I think you should complete your degree: - You are being forced to study the core areas in CS. You will probably soon specializ

The way I think Intel can get competitive is by building a system on a chip. Think a cpu, gpu, and perhaps other cores on a single chip, consuming relatively less power. Nvidia is doing that with an arm cpu.

Does any one know the specs of the FPGA? How many LUTS/block rams? I think its exciting that Intel has started to pay attention to FPGAs, and hopefully with mass production, this FPGA+CPU chip will be priced cheaply---that may yet be the b

A Bloom filter ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_filter ) might work well in this case.

I love this feature, do you know if its possible to do that without logging into their website? I would love to be able to create temp numbers from my phone (without having to log in and expose the rest of the functionality).

How does this array do I/O? How does one bring in data (from disk/network) into the chip? I couldn't find anything demonstrating high throughput I/O on the eval board...

I love the idea of Plunify. I tried to find pricing information (for future use) on the website, to no avail. But if this cuts down the cost for CAD tools as an independent developer, it will be huge for me!

I started off hating Python as well. I could not stand a language that didn't terminate statements without semicolons! :) And python just seemed a lot like Perl; when using both languages for large projects my code just seemed to degenera

The fine-grained control is a plus for openDNS. Second, from the stories that seem to pop up, google's achilles heel is it's customer service. OpenDNS might be able to do better.

Help me understand the business model of GM crops: Does Monsanto create GM crops that are seedless? I think this is evil since it gives too much power to one corporation and removes the farmer's prerogative. On the other hand, how will Mo

"Google... said users would no longer have to worry about viruses, malware and security updates" I'm guessing since most applications on Chrome will be web-based, the vendor will worry about them. They will be able to more easily and q

There are pros/cons for govt. subsidies. Some third world countries subsidize seeds/fertilizers/electricity for poor farmers. Many times this is barely enough for subsistence for them and their large families. I'm not sure what a feasibl

The purpose of subsidies is food security for the US. Importing food at a cheaper rate will likely adversely impact local production, which may be important in the future. The US is already dependent on other countries for its energy supp

Fascinating thoughts, though most of the points seem to be justified using anecdotes. I think many of these points should be encouraging to all entrepreneurs. I also think the tech industry is missing out by not having more women partici
