Announcing the breach on Thanksgiving day was also certainty calculated.


Yes - I have the same intuition. But it may also just be u fortunate timing and obligations. Sometimes companies have requirements from customers to notify them within some time period following a breach.


Like many in the US, I saw this somewhat late. Did the OpenAI disclosure come out first? Did Mixpanel notify OpenAI (due to contractual obligations), who then investigated and ripped Mixpanel out of their systems? And then OpenAI disclosed it publicly, forcing Mixpanel to disclose publicly?



Pretty cool. Shameless plug: My team at Anthropic is hiring people that can write accelerator kernels. Please reach out to <my username>@gmail.com if you want to make state of the art models faster :)


not looking for a job at this time but i do this kind of work - what is the name of the team that you are working on / typically works on this?


Curious, do you guys use Triton? I was surprised to find out PyTorch slowdown is palpable even compared to basic CUDA kernels.


qq: Would this be in CUDA?


Not sure what I can share publicly, but we use TPUs as well: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/announcing-cl...


It's funny - former Google devs (whom I just maintain a good relationship with their former employer) are ideally positioned to profitably take advantage of the arb of TPU over GPU.


Google should improve their abstractions until there isn’t room for that anymore, haha.



This is already one year old. I am wonder how much the zoo grew in 2017. What were the main network innovations? Capsules and the Transformer?


DenseNet is a pretty big deal, and I am surprised some version of FCN/U-Net is not there, or siamese networks are not there. Capsules are still quite young and Transformer pretty specific, don't know that they have have a large impact yet.


I hope it gets updated, but at the rate new ones are appearing it might be hard to keep up. I suppose at least only a subset are worth noting though.


Very interesting. I've implemented something similar[1] using a pure Collaborative Filtering approach[2][3], that I think works better for me, but it's unable to recommend unpopular repositories.

The New York Times recommender system uses a hybrid approach (Content Based + Collaborative Filtering) called Collaborative Topic Modeling on top of LDA[4]. It would be interesting to try that.

Really nice links... Thanks! Will take a look at it and compare and contrast for better tuning. :) Feel free to do the same and raise some pull requests :)


Here at The New York Times we are using it to power some of our recommendation algorithms. We are actually training the models with Python and serving them with Go using gonum.

Our library was just open sourced (and still in my personal account, until we add more documentation): https://github.com/jbochi/facts


This sounds really cool. Anywhere I could read more about the Python -> Go integration? Or are you just exporting the raw weight matrices?


We are just exporting the matrices. Nothing fancy.


Beautiful. Thanks for the reply


It's very common to see a "Most Popular" section in a website, but the way it's usually done is not optimized for clicks.

Inspired by Evan's post, I wrote "How Not to Sort by Popularity" a few weeks ago: https://medium.com/@jbochi/how-not-to-sort-by-popularity-927...


MJPEG is indeed much better for this. It uses less bandwidth (GIFs have no compression) and less browser memory (old frames can be discarded). When I was at globo.com, we developed this to serve animated thumbnails for live video streams: https://github.com/jbochi/live_thumb


GIF features lossless LZW compression.


This reminds me of a project I've created a few years ago that does live video streaming with endless GIFs: https://github.com/jbochi/gifstreaming
