Very good news. Dataproc now lets you use NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate XGBoost in a Spark pipeline. This combination can speed up machine learning development and training up to 44x and reduce costs 14x when using XGBoost. With this kind of GPU acceleration for XGBoost, you can get better performance, speed, accuracy, and reduced TCO, plus an improved experience when deploying and training models. Spinning up elastic Spark and XGBoost clusters in Dataproc takes about 90 seconds. https://gweb-cloudblog-publish.appspot.com/products/data-analytics/ml-with-xgboost-gets-faster-with-dataproc-on-gpus/amp/

Most people buy Bitcoin via exchanges, such as Coinbase. Exchanges allow you to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrency, and setting up an account is similar to opening a brokerage account—you’ll need to verify your identity and provide some kind of funding source, such as a bank account or debit card. Major exchanges include Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini. You can also buy Bitcoin at a broker like Robinhood. Regardless of where you buy your Bitcoin, you’ll need a digital wallet in which to store it. This might be what’s called a hot wallet or a cold wallet. A hot wallet (also called an online wallet) is stored by an exchange or a provider in the cloud. Providers of online wallets include Exodus, Electrum and Mycelium. A cold wallet (or mobile wallet) is an offline device used to store Bitcoin and is not connected to the Internet. Some mobile wallet options include Trezor and Ledger.
Telegram Gives Up On Crypto Blockchain Project
Durov said on his Telegram channel today that the two and a half year blockchain and crypto project has been put to sleep. Ironically, after leaving Russia because the government wanted his encryption keys to his social media firm, Durov’s cryptocurrency idea lost steam because of a U.S. court. “The technology we created allowed for an open, free, decentralized exchange of value and ideas. TON had the potential to revolutionize how people store and transfer funds and information,” he wrote on his channel. “Unfortunately, a U.S. court stopped TON from happening.”
