The DGX-1 is a 129,000, desktop-sized box with eight NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs, 7TB of SSD storage and two Xeon processors. That nets 170 teraflops of performance, equivalent to around 250 servers. Moreover, the parallel architecture is ideal for OpenAI's deep learning algorithms. NVIDIA said it cost around 2 billion to develop. OpenAI, founded to ensure that machines don't destroy us, will use the DGX-1's extra power to read the nearly 2 billion Reddit comments in months, rather than years.

Woodside is Australia's largest independent oil and gas company. For more than 60 years it's been a critical thread in the nation's fabric: if its gas doesn't arrive promptly in Perth to fuel power generation the city goes dark in two days. The company no longer relies purely on gas and oil for its success, however; it relies on data. According to Woodside senior vice-president and chief technology officer Shaun Gregory: "Our people understand that data is king, that knowledge is king." However; it used to be a burden, he says.

Not long ago, artificial intelligence was something you read about in science fiction; today it's all around us. The smartphone or tablet you hold in your hand is jam-packed with artificial intelligence. Whenever you use a mobile device to pull up Google and perform a search, you're using advanced algorithms that help you find the information you're seeking. When you open Netflix, or Spotify, or Amazon, AI is predicting the shows, movies, music, and merchandise you'll like based on your previous behavior within those apps. These are just a few examples of weak (or narrow) AI and they literally surround us.

Robot" season 2 is already rolling, but some of the events featured in the first season warrant a second look. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, series creator Sam Esmail opened up about a couple of memorable episodes in the past season and some of the challenges he and the rest of the production team faced during the filming of the first season. The producer, who also directed all the episodes in the Emmy-nominated series' current run, said he could not believe they were able to pull off the scene where Joanna Wellick (Stephanie Corneliussen) induced labor in season 1, episode 8. "The lobster fork from episode 1.8 was disturbing because of the choice," Esmail said. Esmail also said that the revelation that Mr. Robot (Christian Slater) was just in Elliot's (Rami Malek) mind was hard to shoot because they wanted to do it during golden hour. There was a time constraint, but in the end, they were able to pull it off because those who were part of the scene – Slater, Malek, Carly Chaikin and Portia Doubleday – were more than ready. Apart from the challenging episodes in the first season, Esmail also opened up about the weird direction the series went in the current season. The latest episode featured a sitcom featuring Elliot and his family. Some thought it genius, while others saw it as a cheap shot. Esmail told The New York Times that the decision to put a sitcom, which played inside Elliot's head, was driven by the goal to show that Elliot can take himself out of a situation by going to his happy place. In that case, Elliot's challenging situation was getting beaten to a pulp, and his happy place was sitcoms he saw as a child. Esmail is aware that there are more eyes on his creation, especially now that it has been given quite a number of awards and critical acclaim. The producer, however, would like to remain loyal to how he would like the show to flow. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he said he understands fans' complaints about the show's pacing, but he has to do what he has to do in order to convey the series' message properly. Robot" Season 2.

In June 2016 Ravi Mody and Tim Schmeier gave a presentation at the NYC Machine Learning meetup to discuss their work on the data science team at iHeartRadio. This is the first in a three part article complementing the presentation. Like almost everyone who grew up in the 80s/90s, my music discovery followed a familiar pattern: I'd listen to the radio, talk to my friends about what they're listening to, then buy a CD/tape to play on repeat until everyone around me was sick of it. This worked fine for most people, but as a music lover I'm thankful it seems so foreign today -- the internet has completely transformed the way I interact with music. While I still often listen to the radio, I now use my phone to tune into any of thousands of stations from across the country.
