I'll add that in the case of Kubernetes, this is mostly Kubernetes setting the standard/pattern for graduation for other projects. I would ask less, what does this mean for Kubernetes (as the answer is nothing) and more, what exam

This approach may be a derivative of the Apache Incubator. If so, the purpose may be to provide an incentive for project committees to conform to the governance model of the foundation. Projects are started in incubating, or pre-graduation

Great post. Could you describe further what you mean by data pipelining? Is this something that you could also use Spark, Kafka for? I'd be interested to know if Kubernetes would work for me as well.

"Therefore, except for the lost data on exact types of Objective-C objects in arguments, it’s possible to get the complete reconstruction of an interface." That's more than I expected. Great work!

It says it runs in "in any environment in which Kubernetes runs." So as long as you are asking if it runs on Openshift's Kubernetes, than yes.

Looks like different components could be added in the future, but not clear how. The following are included: - A JupyterHub to create & manage interactive Jupyter notebooks. - A Tensorflow Training Controller that can be configured to u

Well said. For example, with the hardware improvements of late (GPUs, TPUs, etc.), we are seeing lots of low hanging fruit as we haven't pushed in this direction before, but I imagine this diminishes soon.

This is interesting. Good time to be a researcher!

Good point. I tend to subscribe to Kuhn's Structure of Scientific Revolutions [0] which I think suggests that a paradigm shift comes as collective observations mount and it is eventually exhibited through a genius on the cutting edge.

"It’s probably going to happen sooner than most people think. Hardware is improving at an exponential rate—the most surprising thing I’ve learned working on OpenAI is just how correlated increasing computing power and AI breakthroughs

The wise words at the end: You can tell where there is too much money and too little money by looking at valuations. When valuations are extended, that means there is too much money. That was seed in 2014, growth in 2015/2016, and ICOs

Despite all these the stock market is doing relatively well. In fact, the potential tax cut and Trump administration have lifted stocks. There are always a few concerns out there but I think most investors are feeling okay about political e

I'm with you. I find these examples distracting if not annoying.

Quite a situation. Mozilla has basically one paying "customer" and it can only be one of two search engines. The concern here would be if they burn bridges with Yahoo, than they have less negotiating leverage with Google. I forget

Two things to note: 1) Alpha Zero beats AlphaGo Zero and AlphaGo Lee and starts tabla rasa 2) "Shogi is a significantly harder game, in terms of computational complexity, than chess (2, 14): it is played on a larger board, and any capt

Certainly a significant achievement. Also, kind of interesting that the AlphaGo team spent a lot of energy to convince us Go is much harder than Chess, only to turn around and tell us that it is amazing that it can also win at Chess.

I like the idea that universities can take money from corporations and not feel as though they have to bend their work to support their funder's business models. Kudos to Google and the University of Maryland here.
