Patrick Collison (Stripe) helped develop the first version and seems to know how to code as he still talks about and shares what he works on sometimes on twitter. Another famous YC company is Cruise, who had Kyle Vogt as CEO, who was very h

I think of technically competent as having been a hands on dev, Zuck at least did that during his time (like Gates in his day). Satya and Sundar were not hands on in terms of coding and were PMs in their respective companies before moving u

I believe Gaben was a PM (or PM manager/lead) during his time at microsoft. Lead dev is a bit misleading, since he led program management and has been listed as the producer, not the hands on lead developer. Not that he's not tech

Seattle is very tech heavy as well and hard to not run into other tech folks. Good ML crowd too. SF is of course better for a startup focus

I love open source but I’m happy if we take the credit for killing kubernetes :)

I’ve worked on air gapped networks and I was probably a tenth as productive as I normally can be (if that) as a programmer. Having all sorts of info at your fingertips speeds up development and debugging quite a bit. I’d be worried your lea

Yep, trying to improve voicemail is the wrong product approach, it’s like trying to improve the fax machine. You can, and some people still do for a variety of reasons that shouldn’t really exist, but it’s time has come and gone a long time

FWIW PyTorch has TorchServe nowadays which does the same thing as TF Serving.

One way to do that for C# is to build your model in PyTorch then transform it to ONNX which Microsoft has a bunch of C# tooling support for: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ai/windows-ml/train...

Yeah, there are a ton of meeting for those roles as well (possibly more since they have firm hardware prep needs, usually official standards to get approval for, etc.). Reading through the requirements docs and planning years out for a prod

Room temperature in wine is cellar temperature generally. That’s why you put reds in a wine fridge as well in many cases, just not as cold as white.

I thought that as well but my friends and I have done this a few times and most people can’t once you standardize temperature and move away from any desert wines (not a large sample size of course). Try it yourself and make sure not to let

I used to use Django for this kind of thing, but I have found that Flask connected to your fully managed database of choice like AWS with dynamodb (nosql db gets rid of even worrying about schemas) is the simplest way to quickly get up and

Very unreal engine blueprint-like. I always wondered why that caught on with game engines but (partial) visual programming isn’t used by folks pretty much anywhere else besides some introductory programming courses/tutorials or kids pr

Managers of programmers should be previous (or current) programmers generally anyway, so they should know better. Non-programmers managing programmers usually has a bunch of other issues already.

This is simply not true in many cases I’ve seen and experienced first hand. There are a lot of interesting problems and people to work with, many times the pay is the final deal breaker or maker when deciding between options (and when decid

This is awesome. Get it built in to your own brand of golf carts that are an upgrade option at courses :)

What do you envision that would help JavaScript devs take advantage of ML? There is tensorflow.js. Are you thinking completely different ‘building blocks’ that provide higher level apis like fast.ai geared towards frontend devs or something

Any other deployment issues for PyTorch you’re aware of that would help ‘close the gap’?

Curious since I’ve been looking at this recently. What out of the box metrics would matter most to you? There are lots of libraries in the ecosystem for metrics but I’ve seen the request for built in metrics a few times now so it must be a

I pushed myself to try this one summer in college when I was working in a lab that needed things to be checked on at odd hours. I ended up severely sleep deprived, but it was fun to try and debunk it at least for myself.

Isn’t IBM top of the patent list every year? Great example of why patent count does not equal innovation.

Yet another example of how political leaders are completely out of the loop on all things tech. Software is such a large part of the world nowadays that we need to change this or the US is going to have even more issues going forward. I don

Cities are nice even with WFH to me. I don't care that much about the office, though it is easier to form bonds in person imho. I do care about having an active social life which is part of why I live in a city, and I'm very glad

Wish we were close, but we’re pretty far from something like Boston dynamics robotics being controlled by any AI imho, at least not in a way that would impress anyone. The deep mind software doesn’t handle real world interactions and all th
