Burroughs large systems. In the 1970s, Burroughs Corporation was organized into three divisions with very different product line architectures for high-end, mid-range, and entry-level business computer systems.

Burroughs large systems

Each division's product line grew from a different concept for how to optimize a computer's instruction set for particular programming languages. The Burroughs Large Systems Group designed large mainframes using stack machine instruction sets with dense instruction syllables[NB 1] and 48-bit data words. SETI@home.

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks. There’s something magical about Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs).

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks

I still remember when I trained my first recurrent network for Image Captioning. Within a few dozen minutes of training my first baby model (with rather arbitrarily-chosen hyperparameters) started to generate very nice looking descriptions of images that were on the edge of making sense.

MaidSafe. Users providing storage space, cpu power and bandwidth to the network earn Safecoin, a digital currency that can be used to store information on the network.

MaidSafe

History[edit] David Irvine began work on MaidSafe in 2006. He raised $5 million for the project over the next year, eventually working with a team of 14 people.[3] The company is based in Troon, Scotland.[4] Eiji Tsuburaya’s 114th Birthday. - 10 Ways to Lose Muscle. Moon Patrol. Gameplay[edit] The player takes the role of a Luna City police officer assigned to Sector Nine, the home of the "toughest thugs in the galaxy".

Moon Patrol

The player controls a moon buggy, viewing it from the side, that travels over the moon's surface. While driving it, obstacles such as craters and mines must be avoided, and various enemies such as UFOs from above and tanks on the ground must be shot down. JustAPIs - Build REST APIs for Mobile, Web & IoT Apps. Byzantine fault tolerance. In fault-tolerant computer systems, and in particular distributed computing systems, Byzantine fault tolerance is the characteristic of a system that tolerates the class of failures known as the Byzantine Generals' Problem,[1] which is a generalized version of the Two Generals' Problem - for which there is an unsolvability proof.

Byzantine fault tolerance

Byzantine failures are considered the most general and most difficult class of failures among the failure modes. So called fail-stop failure mode occupies the simplest end of the spectrum. Whereas fail-stop failure model simply means that the only way to fail is a node crash, detected by other nodes, Byzantine failures imply no restrictions, which means that failed node can generate arbitrary data, pretending to be a correct one, which makes fault tolerance utterly difficult. The phrases interactive consistency or source congruency have been used to refer to Byzantine fault tolerance, particularly among the members of some early implementation teams.[2] FAQs. What are the goals of Project Byzantium?

FAQs

The goal of Byzantium is to develop and maintain a distribution of Linux which can run from removable media (such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or USB storage device) without needing to be installed. This distribution of Linux will include a graphical desktop, a control panel application which configures and manipulates services running on the Byzantium node, and mesh routing software which allows the creation of an entirely separate wireless Internet, functionally indistinguishable from a wireless access point of the sort that you’d find in a coffee shop or at home. The Byzantium mesh network is theoretically uncensorable because it operates in a peer-to-peer fashion and avoids the existing infrastructure of the Net; any computer with a wireless network interface can become a part of the Byzantium mesh.

Why is the project called Byzantium? What is a mesh network? Ctags. Editors that support ctags[edit] Tag index files are supported by many source code editors, including: Variants of ctags[edit]

Powerline — Powerline beta documentation. The Columbia Group. The Art of Computer Programming. SAILOR. Human capital flight. Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein, who emigrated to the United States to escape Nazi persecution, is an example of human capital flight as a result of political change. Human capital flight, sometimes also called brain drain, refers to the emigration of intelligent, well-educated individuals to somewhere for better pay or conditions, causing the place they came from to lose those skilled people, or "brains. " Typically, emigrating brains have learned English and have moved to the United Kingdom, the US or some other English-speaking country. Longstanding problem put to rest. Comparing the genomes of different species — or different members of the same species — is the basis of a great deal of modern biology. DNA sequences that are conserved across species are likely to be functionally important, while variations between members of the same species can indicate different susceptibilities to disease.

The basic algorithm for determining how much two sequences of symbols have in common — the “edit distance” between them — is now more than 40 years old. And for more than 40 years, computer science researchers have been trying to improve upon it, without much success. Lightning Electric Motorcycle Fastest Electric MotorcycleLightning Motorcycles. This Is The World's Highest Resolution Picture Ever Taken! Advertisement When digital photography is getting better and better there is no secret that almost everything has to do with how many pixels your digital camera can achieve documenting. Unfortunately, with size comes space and it takes a lot of space to save a huge picture like this.

This is especially true on your digital camera where space is probably quite limited if you want to take pictures at the size of the world’s highest resolution picture. Runbook - DevOps, automated.
