Sam Walton's employees would not be able to generate that fortune on their own. You seem to underestimate the role of leadership, vision and other business skills in creating a company. Not to mention that many of those employees proba

Slightly off-topic but I'm curious: Nvidia Volta is advertised as having "tensor cores" - what does it take for a programmer to use them? Will typical Tensorflow or Cafe code take advantage of it? Or should we wait for some n
