Quillette Paradoxes of Probability and Other Statistical Strangeness You don’t have to wait long to see a headline proclaiming that some food or behaviour is associated with either an increased or a decreased health risk, or often both. How can it be that seemingly rigorous scientific studies can produce opposite conclusions?…

CNTK 2.0. Nice production-related features, note Model Compression, Keras support and impressive multi-GPU scaling.

> If your project involves sequence processing, such as speech, natural language understanding, machine translation, etc., CNTK should be your best choice. And if you are a vision researcher working on video processing, you should definitely give CNTK a try.

www.frankmcsherry.org Scalability! But at what COST? Michael Isard, Derek Murray, and I recently sent in a HotOS submission (it’s not blind, so no harm talking about it, we think). The subject is hinted at from...

This common and unfortunate fact of the lack of an adequate presentation of basic ideas and motivations of almost any mathematical theory is, probably, due to the binary nature of mathematical perception: either you have no inkling of an idea or, once you have understood it, this very idea appears so embarrassingly obvious that you feel reluctant to say it aloud; moreover, once your mind switches from the state of darkness to the light, all memory of the dark state is erased and it becomes impossible to conceive the existence of another mind for which the idea appears nonobvious.
