"New Bylinas". For dev, ops, and curious minds

Due to numerous requests from readers, we are starting a large cycle of articles on the application of serverless computing technology for developing real applications. This cycle will cover the development of applications, testing, and delivery to end users using modern tools: microservice application architecture (in serverless mode, based on OpenFaaS), a Kubernetes cluster for application deployment, and MongoDB, designed for cloud clustering and […]

Attackers steal money through corporate VPN services.

Kaspersky Lab has uncovered a new series of attacks against financial and telecommunications companies based in Europe. The primary goal of the attackers is to steal money. Furthermore, cybercriminals are attempting to penetrate data to access financial information of interest.

Jedi technique for reducing convolutional networks — pruning

You are faced with the task of object detection again. The priority is to enhance speed while maintaining acceptable accuracy. You take the YOLOv3 architecture and finetune it. Accuracy (mAp75) exceeds 0.95. However, the processing speed is still low. Damn. Today we will sidestep quantization. Instead, we will look at Model Pruning — trimming excessive parts of the network to speed up inference without losing accuracy. Visually — from where, how much, and how […]

Modeling the operation of a real CHP plant for optimizing modes: steam and mathematics

There is a large CHP plant. It operates as usual: burning gas, producing heat for heating homes, and electricity for the grid. The primary task is heating. The second is to sell all generated electricity on the wholesale market. Sometimes snow appears in freezing weather under clear skies, but this is a side effect of the cooling towers. An average CHP consists of several dozen turbines and boilers. […]
