Looks great. But is it restricted to building mobile apps only or can it also help you build web apps in Flutter?

We run a few high traffic websites, and would be great to monetize our US traffic at $10 cpm. But your profile link to your LinkedIn page returns a Page not available error. Please get in touch - would be great to chat.

Would be interested to know if you can do all this by using their open-source conmmunity edition, or would you need to use their paid / Pro version. Since the pricing for the paid version is not given, not sure but assuming it would be

I was wondering what would be the requirement for self-hosting Jitsi - in terms of server resources - bandwidth, CPU etc? Is the Video/VOIP transmitted client to client or does it get routed via the server? Thanks.

> Well, if there's only 2, maybe 3 of you... Do you mean for more than 3 - the call/video is routed through the server and would consume server bandwidth? If so how is jitsi paying for all this if it is free?

Interesting that this is Intel's second acquisition of an AI chipmaker. They had acquired Nervana for $400M in 2016 - but now seem to be abandoning it in favor of Habana's chips. They would need to redo the Nervana software stack

Having watched Shark Tank for a long time, I always wondered if Kevin O'Leary just played a ruthless shark on the show or if he really was one. The article seems to confirm he is definitely the latter: "He was the soulless busine

I am using it for classification right now - but pretty sure you should be able to do object detection quite easily as well.

Great - can't wait to try out the new version! I am running fast.ai in a virtual environment. How does one upgrade to the latest version for both Fast.ai and PyTorch. Are the new versions backwards comaptible with the earlier version

This is great news! Here has been my experience using Fast.ai : I had been training a deep learning network using Keras with Tensorflow, for diagnosing medical images - and it took me several months of hard work - tweaking parameters, trai

Yes, RNNs and autoencoders, etc. do seem to be encoding concepts via embedding vectors in higher dimensions. But see the argument made by Doug Hofstadter about language translation using RNNs [2]. We have also seen how CNN layers can &quot

This example, and others like it point to the central weakness of neural networks for image recognition: No matter how much data you feed it, they never really develop concepts or abstractions of what the objects it is classifying really r

Makes the interesting case that the age of really big ideas is gone - the sort of ideas that in the first half of the last century, were responsible for so much of our progress. The entire notion of ideas, in fact has been greatly devalued
