That's bang on. Nice one.

Interesting article. Teaching a mindset should not get mixed up with teaching (current) implementation details.
But on the other hand, when I see so many people writing software in C# lacking an object-oriented mindset... Well, with parallelism I think the probability of failure is even bigger.

The trouble with teaching students 70% theory, without teaching current implementation details is that you end up with what we've got now: 99% of graduates that are useless in the workplace for three years.
... And often worse than useless, as many of us (Marc most recently, in the Lounge) will testify.

As far as I’m concerned, the one to watch here is NVIDIA. Their recent Tegra series sees them bringing massively parallel GPU processing to affordable embedded devices. The Tegra 4 had a quadcore CPU and 72 GPU cores. The TK1 has a quadcore CPU and 192 GPU cores, and the most recent TX1 has an octacore CPU and a 256 GPU cores that provide over 1 Teraflops of processing power. These existing devices are very impressive, but NVIDIA are not slowing down development, with the Xavier expected to appear at the end of 2017. Boasting 512 GPU cores and a custom octacore CPU architecture, the Xavier claims to deliver 20 trillion operations per second for only 20-W power consumption.
Someone's therapist knows all about you!

So we can look forward to ultra-high-res funny cat videos!

What else would you do with that kind of power?

Microservices does not mean small applications. It is an application architecture that helps businesses and developers break down their monolithic applications into separate services, according to Chris Richardson, founder of Eventuate, a startup with a focus on transactional microservices. Dude, it's right there in the name

|
|
One man's microservice is another man's library.

Who was the target audience of this? The need to explain micro-services doesn't exist among devs; it's a management issue. This reads like Distributed Architecture for Dummies.

Sophisticated cybersecurity systems excel at finding "bad apples" in computer networks, but they lack the computing power to identify the threats directly. "One bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, girl"
I'm sure it's brilliant, but this article had way too many "Hunh?" per paragraph. Who let's apples on their network?

"Hunh" is just not a strong enough grunt.

The question of determining "liability" for decision making achieved by robots or artificial intelligence is an interesting and important subject as the implementation of this technology increases in industry, and starts to more directly impact our day to day lives. You know who they'll blame for any problems

Shame it's betanews, otherwise I'd bother reading it, because this is an area of interest, to me.
Bearing in mind that every commit has a username associated with it, we've twined a rope to hang ourselves with, as scapegoats.

Only make commits in the name of your CTO.
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

My Impression is, that they are currently testing something like this on W10 and the latest VS2017

Lets just say, between GitHub and here they have a really large set of training data

A new technique named DoubleAgent, discovered by security researchers from Cybellum, allows an attacker to hijack security products and make them take malicious actions. Call Smiley, we have a mole!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
