I have always been under the impression that there will eventually be a way to distribute ML projects across many personal computers (like the Folding@home or SETI@home) that could give even Google a run for their money! A few hundred milli

I have had similar experiences on several decent sized mobile projects. The idea of a single code-base to rule them all is very seductive. The reality, when you get to UI and hardware issues, is when you begin to get frustrated. If your app

This is the same progression that I learned, but I am not sure it is the best one. I wonder if there has been any rigorous scientific study on the pedagogical benefits one way or another?

I believe that after enough automation, UBI (or at least BI) will have to manifest in "first-world" countries. Starvation will be the alternative. I also believe that when the sample size get big enough, there will be people that

I am not even joking when I say that the most likely killer use for this will be YouTube/tiktok voice-over for non-native American English speakers. There is a lot of great content on the YouTube for example that could be easily moneti
