Ditching CUDA would mean accepting at least 10-30% performance hit on NVIDIA cards and losing the ability to use the newest NVIDIA improvements. OpenCL doesn't know about HMMA (aka "Tensor Cores"), so it would be about an ord

TL;DR: Parametrize your loss function and wrap a normal policy optimization with a random search to find a better loss function. Don't call it "random search," call it "evolution strategies" to make it sound sophist

GPUs can do things besides machine learning. It uses a maximum likelihood estimator, so no training data.

I'm a big advocate of "don't tell people what to do." Musk seems to have a pretty good handle on his own limits. He's been doing crazy work hours and sleeping under his desk occasionally for over a decade. Just beca

I understand that, but a reusable engine is not the same as a reusable rocket. If we are going to discuss engines, it seems that the appropriate comparison is the development of the Merlin-series engines, which started around 2004.

Are you talking about the Promotheus engine? Everything I've read about Arianespace's plans indicate that they aren't terribly interested in reusability. Ariane 6, which is slated for first launch until at least 2020, will be

This is consistent with my experience. Many papers seem to rely on unstated conventions regarding the problem definition and use of variables. Say I'm not in the "small target audience who have a deep understanding of the problem

Sure, I was thinking of this specific case only. If someone starts to use tiny cameras in a way such that they are actually useful for remote sensing, then by all means regulate them.

Sorry, could you clarify your comment? Who has failed at their job, and who is making excuses and attempting to get press?

It's a bit of a farce to classify these cameras stuck on the side of a rocket with horrible resolution and which are clearly not designed to effectively image the surface of the earth as "remote sensing systems." The definiti

I read most of the relevant sections of the document, and there are good reasons for regulating remote sensing systems. I'm fairly familiar with remote sensing systems (SAR, scatterometry, etc) and I'm most interested in reasons w

I haven't done the course, but I'm fairly sure that XOR isn't a universal gate, so you probably don't start out with "nothing more than an xor gate." Based on the name, I would guess you start out with only NAN
