If you only care about next week’s results, bring in a User Manager. He’ll get it done. But watch out for the aftermath. You know the type– the kind of manager who works to win at all costs. The guy who’s “all business” or the woman who’s “got no time for that crap (meaning connection and understanding).” They’ve got their teams spinning, scared to under-perform.

I’ve been spending several hundred bucks renting GPU instances on AWS over the last year. The speedup from a GPU is awesome and hard to deny. GPUs have taken over the field. Maybe following the footsteps of Bitcoin mining there’s some research on using FPGA (I know very little about this). I don’t think there’s a coincidence that GPUs that are built for graphics turn out to be great for image classification using convolutional neural networks.

Machine Learning, in computing, is where art meets science. Perfecting a machine learning tool is a lot about understanding data and choosing the right algorithm.

In this article, Toptal Engineer Necati Demir walks us through some elegant techniques of ensemble methods where a combination of data splits and multiple algorithms is used to produce machine learning results with highe

You’re working hard to build a good reputation as a manager. So you’re taking on new projects and delegating certain tasks to others. You think you’re getting the hang of it, but then you make a remark that seems to rub someone the wrong way—and you aren’t sure why. Being decisive and knowing how to say no are important leadership skills, but handled the wrong way, they can come off as excuses that can damage your career.

Boring. That’s a word many people use to describe the server industry, although unexciting and uneventful would be a better fit. This is not necessarily a bad thing, because when something “exciting” happens to a server, it usually involves blue smoke and downtime. Luckily, the server space is about to get a bit more exciting, thanks to the introduction of servers based on ARM processors.

Rick Delgado. In much the same way businesses have been eager to use big data analytics to improve their operations, many companies have paid a lot of interest to the growing field of machine learning. Unlike some other tech trends that have come and gone, machine learning appears to be more than just some fad. The recent rise in the number of machine learning SaaS solutions launched in 2015 shows that this development has genuine staying power.

Ever get through part or all of a change implementation and discover that it didn’t quite take? You thought you were done, but people are still doing things the old way and the benefits have not been fully realized? If so, it’s likely your change got off to a false start.

In 15 years of coaching , I’ve worked with a lot of high-performing executives. When things go well, they run like a finely tuned Formula 1 race car.
