Cheap for good reason; an A53 quad core is Raspberry Pi 3 class. Hope every package you're gonna need is precompiled for arm64 because building anything nontrivial is not going to be fun.

The advantage of a T- or X- series is that they are common fleet models so you can buy from a bulk reseller that is less likely to be passing off a single dud.

I think a good litmus test in this situation is "will this end up in an engineering ethics textbook in 10 years?" Unfortunately, Tesla seems to be taking the Ford Pinto route here. "It's only dangerous if you aren't

I don't know if you mean literally sounds awesome ;). It's absurd (in a good way) how the RC-car electric sound belies the actual acceleration.

Shameless plug for the tvm project: http://tvmlang.org/2017/10/30/Bringing-AMDGPUs-to-TVM-Stack-... which is an effort towards broad (many vendors) hardware support and optimization for deep learning.

An interesting question this raises is--what determines when the training has overfitted to the noise/error in the input image? If that's another NN that provides a perceptual model of quality, how was it trained? ;)

The Raspberry Pi results are really cool to see. Sure, for a highly-tuned library like cuDNN the existing operators might be close to as fast as you can get, but it's unlikely that every platform where it may be interesting to deploy a

It's almost hilarious how cheap and bad the Xfinity modem/router combo is. Any kind of configuration via the web interface is a dice roll on whether or not the settings actually take. If you're lucky, your configuration chang

I hope some of the old hardware makes it to ebay, but it looks like many of the form factors are proprietary.

I used dejavu to fingerprint the entire ~2007 snapshot of the modarchive (repo of tracker-based music) which was about 120,000 individual songs in order to identify a song I'd first heard back in ~2006. There was definitely something s

Increased AI performance in RTS is always exciting, but part of me is disappointed by the fact that the AI doesn't "see" or interact with the game that humans do. That is, humans don't play the game by querying the state

In computer science, I feel that this definition of irrational only applies in the same way that doing anything that isn't maximizing my $/hour rate is irrational. Sure, the academic job market is very competitive (though CS argua

I'm not sold on the " 1. Make the most powerful flops-per-watt machine." success. From my knowledge that claim only makes sense for the ever-shrinking domain of applications that haven't been ported to GPGPUs with _sim

What are the typical functions/acceleration that this type of GPU supports other than the blitter mentioned in the post? I'm very surprised to see so few chips being used; doesn't 7400 logic only give you ~4-8 gates per chip?
