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/

However, analysts are positive on the stock now. “We have seen a huge downside movement in the stock due to the central electricity regulatory commission’s (CERC) order that seems to be negative from 2014-15 onwards but we cannot take a linear negative view on the stock and further downside movement on the stock is unlikely. Currently stock is underpriced. Investors can bet on it for a longer horizon," said Vivek Gupta, director research at CapitalVia Global Research.
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.”
