Agreed. I used TensorFlow 1.x before PyTorch matured. Today, all of my deep learning is PyTorch based because TensorFlow 2.x didn't fix the core TensorFlow 1.x issues (e.g., poor reproducibility, unintuitive API design) and PyTorch per

I don't understand why you are getting downvoted. TensorFlow 1.x barely worked and people stuck with it because the alternatives were worse. I moved to PyTorch as soon as I could because it is better than TensorFlow 1.x, TensorFlow 2.x

Cool project! You posted a comparison to Clickhouse on the front page. Do you have any insights on how QuestDB compares performance-wise to PrestoDB? Also, PrestoDB is known to be manageable at scale, for example as part AWS Athena. What ar

Just recently IBM announced with a loud PR move that the company is getting out of the face recognition business. Guess what? Wall Street doesn't want to keep subsidizing IBM's subpar face recognition technology when open source a

Google Cloud is full of ex-McKinsey people in middle management positions. Add ex-Oracle to that mix and you got yourself a culture war with old-time Googlers.

100% agree. I am especially bothered by the implicit agism in the study. PhD students tend to be in their early to mid-20s. There is a much larger pool of older engineers in the United States who can be re-trained as AI specialists. Instead

Your thinking about going against the crowd is exactly right. Pivot either into a niche in CS, e.g. machine learning, or try an emerging engineering field like robotics. Alternatively, consider something like genomics.
