Hello fellow developer, ever wanted to use all cores of your device in Python? We talked to someone that can help you with that. Learn what AI means to programming as a craft, why adding yet another "AI feature" to your product may be pointless and why diversity matters. And a lot happened in the world of security, so let's crack on…

Python is the most used AI development language. The problem is that it can be slow as it can not leverage all the GPU power of your devices. NVIDIA has a platform called CUDA which allows any language to use up all the cores of a device and in this talk Andy Terrel explains how to use that for your Python solutions. Check out CUDA in Python.
