I'm sure they make TONS of money from ad revenue. Probably they tried to generate other revenue streams but it just didn't work out and hence the layoff. Here's a crazy idea: what if Stackoverflow developed a search engine f

Nice! Have you seen https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/convert-facebook-n... ? I use it every day.

Congrats to the Butterfly team! Amazing team and amazing product. Really excited to see the impact on the medical profession.

RIP Firebug, brings back great memories of learning HTML / CSS / XPath selectors. I use Chrome developer tools these days (not a huge fan but it does work) but Firebug will always have a special place in my heart as a GREAT debug

+1 for mentioning Buildkite, also works great for machine learning

While you're absolutely right that vanity metrics prove nothing, it does prove that you can choose Pytorch for a production environment with a decent amount of traffic and be happy with your choice.

Nonsense, Pytorch is great in production. I use it for Mathpix (mathpix.com) which processes 20 million images per month.

Thank you for sharing this. I've observed this with friends as well. As Tony Soprano once said: "There is no geographical solution to an emotional problem."

Psychedelics provide a incredible jolt to the system (at least that's what they tell me) but if they do provide health benefits I believe they are short term, similar to traveling to another country or doing something unusual with your

Yes, SWIM took DMT and loved it but finds the idea of Ayahuasca very frightening indeed.

DMT is a little more than just dipping your toes...

Agreed. If you see how Amazon has done acquisitions in the past, they like to brutalize companies by aggressively undercutting them and then buying them for cheap after their value goes down. That's what happened to Zappos and Quidsi

Poor Bing, I never thought I'd find myself rooting for Microsoft, but here I am.

I think you COULD but it's true you might end up with one DB connection per API call which might overwhelm your database server if you have too many concurrent requests that would be better off sharing a connection pool. For such sce

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the impression Kubernetes is a somewhat expensive solution. The only reason I'd go with Kubernetes is if I was a) on Google cloud, which has first class support for Kubernetes b) a dedicated ops

As much as I hate to admit it (I love my servers) I think serverless is the future for most CRUD / admin API's. API's that require lots of computation and ultra low latencies will continue to be run on servers. I think what

I hope they can invest at least some of this money into 5 minute drone deliveries.

One of the dangers of Paul Graham's now famous startup advice "do things that don't scale" is when you no longer are on a path to a scalable product or service. The whole point of a product company is to achieve scale,

Yeah I'm really sick and tired of seeing these articles that add no value. Nothing has added more value in front end development in the last 5 years more than using JS for more and more of the view logic so why stop at HTML?

It's hard to say that our government really protects our privacy by scattering copies of our information across a constellation of bureaucracies. And protect from who? Who's really more dangerous than our government itself? login

Two problems. 1) Tensorflow sucks 2) People that are actually experts in deep learning prefer Pytorch or Caffe2 so your mindshare thing is wrong, once the dust of the Tensorflow hype train clears people will choose tools that are actually

Great move by Facebook to look beyond Caffe's legacy prototext file format which has become somewhat standard in computer vision, and unite Pytorch and Caffe2. Unfortunately there are limitations to the neural network logic that can b

Agreed. Probably for some B2B companies, getting people talking about your product and then having a vague but fancy landing page makes sense. Landing pages need to be optimized to create sequences of actions that lead to "buy"

I'm totally with you. I think the problem is AMQP itself. It just doesn't lend itself well to fully managed reliable message passing across network partitions because it was engineered (some say overengineered) to be "zero

This seems like a great way of publishing public datasets. However, as someone who works on a computer vision startup I don't think I could really use this. In my work data annotation, visualization, and versioning cannot be easily s
