I believe I already posted this one, but somehow I can't find it in the history, so here it comes again

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...
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.

Microsoft’s high-performance, open source, deep learning toolkit is now generally available - Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit
Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit version 2.0 is now in full release with general availability. Cognitive Toolkit enables enterprise-ready, production-grade AI by allowing users to create, train, and evaluate their own neural networks that can then scale efficiently…

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?…
Even considering how much I generally dislike Linux — I'm very excited about userfaultfd and possibilities it provides to developers

Counting Down to the New Ampere
After it's all over, your lights will be just as bright, and your refrigerator just as cold. But very soon the ampere...
> In the "New SI" four of the SI base units – namely the kilogram, the ampere, the kelvin and the mole – will be redefined in terms of constants; the new definitions will be based on fixed numerical values of the Planck constant (h), the elementary charge (e), the Boltzmann constant (kB), and the Avogadro constant (NA), respectively. Further, the definitions of all seven base units of the SI will also be uniformly expressed using the explicit-constant formulation, and specific mises en pratique will be drawn up to explain the realization of the definitions of each of the base units in a practical way.
