the_gigi··on Intel Launches 4th Gen Xeon Scalable Processors
Intel highlights broad industry adoption across all major CSPs, OEMs, ODMs and ISVs, and showcases increased performance in AI, networking and high performance computing.
the_gigi··on 5% of 666 Python repos had comma typo bugs (inc V8, TensorFlow and PyTorch)
I often use split().

Instead of:

  s = ['a', 'b', 'c']
I'll type:

  s = 'a b c'.split()
For multiline lists where I want to get rid of leading whitespace I'll add lstrip():

  lines = """line 1
             line 2
             line 3
  """.split('\n')
  lines = [line.lstrip() for line in lines]

the_gigi··on Numenta releases brain-derived learning algorithm package NuPIC
Google hired recently Ray Kurzweil as director of engineering. Ray's recent book - "How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed" - is influenced heavily by the ideas from the first generation of Numenta's technology (via Dileep George). So, you could say that Google is following Numenta to some degree. Jeff Hawkins is always careful about setting expecetations and tries avoid as much hype as possible. The progress was indeed slower than what some people imagined it to be, but it is a very hard problem . Now, Numenta has Grok and its technology will be tested in the field. It also released NuPIC as open source, which will let anyone interested to dive in, run benchmarks, etc.
