Into the Unknown
Microsoft Azure offers a wide range of services to deploy your applications. To keep control of your environment and to make deployments easier, it also offers a wide array of management tools and services. AI Services AI is a broad classification of computing that allows a software system to perceive its environment and take actions that maximizes its…
A Tour of Google Cloud Hands-on LabsGoogle Instead of being a course, this is a project. Projects on Coursera are designed to be achievable in 2 hours including tasks and quiz. The purpose of this project is to help you familiar yourself with the QwikLabs hands-on environment. I personally like QwikLabs very much. I have…
Cloud Computing Advantages There are several benefits that a Cloud environment has over a physical environment: High Availability Cloud-based applications can provide a continuous user-experience with no apparent downtime. Scalability Applications in the Cloud can be scaled in two ways:1) Vertically: adding RAM or CPUs to a virtual machine. 2) Horizontally: adding instances of a resource, say, virtual machines to…
It is unusual to think about banking as a system of payments, and central banking as a clearing house. One big picture idea is to think of all of the institutions in monetary system as an attempt to make the system work as if it were one big bank, instead of a bunch of little banks. The One…
Unfortunately, deep learning models aren’t always accurate, especially when asked to make predictions on new data points that are dissimilar to the data that they were trained on. The insight here is that it’s important to models to be able to assign higher levels of uncertainty to incorrect predictions. We want our deep learning models to know what they don’t know. The probabilistic…
This course provides an introduction to the tools and technologies Google Cloud offers to work with large data sets and then integrate that data into the artificial intelligence and machine learning lifecycle. Data is the foundation of every application integrated with artificial intelligence. Without data, there is nothing for AI to learn from, no pattern to recognize, and no…
Requirements Contracts & Output Contracts A requirements contract is a form of contract where a seller agrees to supply all of a purchaser’s requirements in exchange for a promise that the purchaser will buy exclusively from that seller. An output contract is, in a sense, the reverse situation. A buyer agrees to purchase all of the supplier’s…
Artificial Intelligence on Microsoft AzureMicrosoft It was about 20 year ago, my first certificate in my career life was from Microsoft. I still remember at that time, the courses were all about Windows Server, SQL Server and .NET development, etc. You need to buy thick and good-looking books, usually with 1 or 2 CD-ROMs with…
Recall that consideration is a traditional prerequisite for forming a contract. When it comes to a promise, the court might find that there was consideration, like in the classic chestnut of case Hamer vs Sidway. However in the case Kirksey vs Kirksey, the court considered a promise that lacked consideration, which is called a gratuitous promise….
Essential Google Cloud Infrastructure: FoundationGoogle Cloud When you put your feet on the cloud ;-), there must be two magical things you will need to touch: virtual private cloud (VPC) and virtual machines (VMs). They are mapping to what you see in the physical world: network and computer servers, correspondingly. Almost all cloud providers offer…
We’ll be making extensive use of the TensorFlow Probability library to help us develop probabilistic deep learning models. The distribution objects from the library are the vital building blocks because they capture the essential operations on probability distributions. We are going to use them when building probabilistic deep learning models in TensorFlow. Univariate Distributions Within the tfp…
Information theory is a subject with very rich intellectual contents, and it is somewhat philosophical. Information theory was founded by Bell Telephone Laboratory scientist Claude Shannon, with the seminal paper “The Mathematical Theory of Communication” in 1948. Information theory studies fundamental limits in communications, in the form of transmission, storage, etc. There are two key…
Preparing for Your Professional Cloud Security Engineer JourneyGoogle Cloud This is a short course, you may complete it in just a few hours. However, this is an effective course, it is like taking a “physical examination”. With diagnostic questions, it assesses your experience and skills related to Google Cloud network. It helps you better understand where you…
Unconscionability Can courts declined to enforce unconscionable contracts? And how to decide whether contracts are unconscionable? If the court finds as a matter of law… any clause of the contract to have been unconscionable at the time it was made, the court may refuse to enforce the contract… Uniform Commercial Code, 2-203 According to the UCC, the…
Containerized Applications on AWSAWS In the past few years, I have been working on the Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) platform, unfortunately this course does not cover ROSA. But the course introduces a lot important container basics and services like ECS, EKS, Lambda, App Mesh, etc. This broadens my horizon and complements my…
