Gluon – Deep Learning API from AWS and Microsoft (amazon.com)
Gluon – Deep Learning API from AWS and Microsoft (amazon.com)
"""
Gluon is an attempt by Microsoft and Amazon to regain some influence in AI tools. Keras looked like it was going to become the standard high-level API, but now Theano is dead, and CNTK and MxNet are controlled by Google's rivals, and they're ganging up against Google's tools. Francois Chollet is committed to keeping Keras neutral, but he's still a Google engineer, and that probably makes Microsoft and Amazon nervous.

SpaceX Falcon-9 : SES 11/Echostar 105 : Oct 11, 2017

Три поюзанные ракеты стояли там у моря,
третья поднялась и приземлилась вскоре
и вот вам результат -
три поюзанные ракеты стоят

At the end of the reentry burn it was going at 1.7 km/s! With Aluminum grid fins yet! Glowing white-hot!

"""
The grid fins were not "White hot", since Aluminum, even when "red hot", is already without any strength.

There are two options:

A very over-exposed image show with a filter-less camera that picks up near infra-red, and so even the slightest glow in human-invisible wavelengths shows up as "white hot".

A thermal coating ablating while protecting the Aluminum underneath.
