1. The small subset is to test that your training pipeline works and converges near 0 loss. 2. Sure, but for most new hacks like mixup, randaugment and etc the results usually transfer over. Problem with deep learning is that most of the ne

I'd be happy with just an optimized strict subset of python that uses type annotations to compile performance critical functions like cython. Mypyc sounds like an attempt at that but doesn't seem to be constraining the language en

Nobody is complaining about it not being open enough. Time on site and amount of content you view is the driver of most of their revenue. Their business is fundamentally constrained by the number of users they have and the waking hours of t
