Nvidia
12 April, 2021
Nvidia's annual GTC starts today and you don't want to lose this opportunity. Every year Nvidia comes to show their exciting advancements in GPU technology and as artificial intelligence is directly linked to GPUs, you should expect a lot of AI content there, becoming a paradise for data scientist, machine learning engineers, and AI enthusiasts. You can also watch content about automation, health care, and quantum computing, all for free. But if you have extra money, I will recommend doing a wor

Give Yourself a Good Hobby
12 April, 2021
When I was young all I liked to do was spend day and night playing my good and old PlayStation One. It was incredible, I really enjoyed those hours playing Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Cross, Harvest Moon and many other great names that I won't spend you time with. Nowadays looking back I realize that I could have done better if I invested my time on different hobbies. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that playing video games are a bad thing, also because I started learning Eng

Potatoes Cluster: Training a Deep Learning Model Using a 100 Potatoes
01 April, 2021
Have you ever heard about battery potatoes? Did you know that it is also possible to process information using potatoes? In this post we are going to show you how it’s possible to create a cluster of potatoes, that not only serves as a power supply but also processes data in a very cheap way. With that, we could achieve the performance of a Nvidia GTX 1060 using 100 potatoes connected with nails and clips. Building the Cluster In order to build our cluster, we are going to need some other item

Understanding Car Insurance

There is a lot of confusion out there as to whether your auto insurance follows you, the vehicle, or both.

Make Time
25 February, 2021
One of the many cool things about working here at XNV is that we have a book club! We each take a turn picking a book, we read it, and then once a month we meet via Zoom to talk about the book. The book we read in January was, Make Time by Jake and JZ. The main idea behind Make Time, is simply that making time for what really matters. The book really hit home for me, I am always running around with a 200 item to do list gett

The Importance of a Home Address
22 February, 2021
When applying for an auto loan, lenders often request a whole lot of information such as residence history, income and work history. It’s obvious why they’d request some of these items, to make sure you are working and will be able to pay the loan. But why would they care about your residence history? It turns out that if you’ve been living in the same address for a while, especially if you are a homeowner, you are more likely to be approved for an auto loan. The article below will help you un

The Art of Hiring Data Scientists
09 February, 2021
The amount of companies hiring out Data Scientists thinking that they're going to come in, wave a wand and solve all problems with AI is appalling. This is not good for the industry, the companies, or the Data Scientists. Disrupting an industry takes a lot more than hiring a couple of Data Scientists and handing them a wishlist. Solving real problems with Artificial Intelligence requires experience across several technical domains that start with the hardware and ends with the production model,

Adopting Quantum Computing in 2021
09 February, 2021
Interesting take on adopting Quantum Computing in 2021, but I still think that there is a lot to overcome before most companies can actually use Quantum Computing for problems that really matter. Most people don't know, but Quantum Computers are a thing already, the problem is that they're not as powerful right now as we need it to be, and it is very hard to program them and get good results out of it.

AI and Deep Learning to a Full-Size Camera
09 February, 2021
Photography is an industry hard to disrupt these days. With phones that are ever more powerful, carrying multiple lenses, and connected to our multitude of apps, it has become increasingly hard to find a reason to buy a DSLR camera. Alice might be an exception, though. It is small, portable, connects to your phone, and is incredibly powerful. And yes... it uses Artificial Intelligence to compensate for our lack of photography skills. Here is a video describing it: Here is an article about
