Indexing and caching is optimization. Who did the real job, that was being optimized?
If my account balance is $5, and I buy that yummy Cheese Swirls for $2, I expect the balance to be $3 afterward. Deep Learning will not help, or frankly it can only make this simple calculation wrong.
So... no, deep learning is not eating software. BTW deep learning IS software, so this is all just headline-grabbing.
- fny 9y agoDeep learning will allow software to infer how your comment maps to a CRUD operation, and instead of having someone code up a backend and think through a schema, it'll happen on the fly. So yes, I suspect deep learning (or ML more generally) will eat up a lot of the CRUD, glue code, and repetetive data-pipeline related crap I deal with daily. I yearn for the day when I can tell my db "store this" and "give me that" without having to think of the umpteen* data stores that back it all. * No joke. We have a real-time feed, a few warehouses, and external data sources we need to wrangle to build applications. From my perspective, some statistical machine could easily do that with a bit of human help. If you think we should rearchitect our infrastructure, your right! But doesn't that seem like something a computer could be good at?
