GPUs are in alpha and no news about TPUs, that is what doesn't make sense.

TensorFlow has been in beta for a year, GPU instances have been in alpha for a couple of months and there are no news about TPUs. It is bronken since I have all the infrastructure in amazon, so why I am going to move everything to Google in

That is why I said yet. They are in alpha... https://cloud.google.com/gpu/

Very nice library, but I hope they let us use GPUs in Google Cloud instead of CPUs soon. This is a big non-sense to me, they provide a good library but they don't provide a proper infrastructure to use it yet.

Thanks for the explanation. I think higher-kinded types is one of those things that make me not like Scala. I cannot think about an use case, but there should be few. > Only if you control the classes involved You see it like a problem,

Because sometimes you have to use other language and other times you have a boss which takes the decisions. All my side projects are kotlin now.

That more or less what I said, it is not incompatible as you can use the Java stream API if you target Java 8. But yes, it is a pain when you see you have to use the Java Stream API instead of the kotlin Stream API. Not incompatible but an

You should consider change your tone when you talk to people. It is quite rude. It is not a map and it is not a forEach, that is why they created it. > At the end of a map call you end up with a potentially transformed collection instanc

It is not an identity because you can modify the internal state of the objects. And it is also lazy: arrayOf("A","B","C").onEach{ print("onEach $it")}.forEach{ print("forEach $it")} prints:

When I used Scala I never though it would be better than java, just another alternative. But I think kotlin is better than java. I hope it gains traction but not sure about it.

Completely agree with you, and I wouldn't expect it to be faster than javac as it needs more semantic processing. (some pleople find it faster: https://medium.com/keepsafe-engineering/kotlin-vs-java-compi... ) Wha

I would want to see a bigger adoption and companies start using it more often, so I can use it in more projects. I really like using it over other languages. Every time I write java I think: I would had spent less time writing this in kotli

The new Collections API wasn't incompatible with kotlin, it is just you can use the new API if you target Java 6 (which makes sense). But you can use the new API if you target Java 8. So I don't see a big deal here. The problem is

Well, it is broadly used by Android developers. For me Kotlin is above scala just because the tooling support (JetBrains the main developers of kotlin), and I find a big difference when writting kotlin and scala. I feel scala more difficult

It is not like java peek at all (or I am missing what peek do your refer to). Peek is to get the reference of the first element. OnEach makes a lazy operation for every element on the sequence. I would say that onEach is more like map but l

I feel kotlin is a bit undervalue. It is a great modern language which can replace java completely. Along with swift, they should be the general purpose programming languages in the near future.

I think it is more interesting for companies if you contribute in open source projects relevant for your future jobs rather to single-person side projects. It means several things: you can join a team working in a project, you know how tool

But it doesn't happen as you would want. The bacteria evolves fast but it doesn't mean they will create antibiotics for other bacterias. You have to be in the right place at the right moment. And them wait a lot of years until you

Evolution is part of life, while some bacterias adapt to the antibiotics there are other animals (fungus, bacterias,...) that try to compete with them, and usually they find the ways to kill each other. It is part of evolution, but evolutio

You can relax the problem in order to reduce complexity and calculations. For example: cut the training of slow learning networks, have a database of already trained networks, decrease the number of epochs and examples, etc. Or even create

It was during my first months in my PhD when it wasn't clear what I will do. My idea was to define the theorems as operators of planning algorithms and then to use the planning techniques to create new theorems or probes. But planning
