Finally, someone did it. Python for React. React is the most popular front-end framework used to build interfaces and now all python devs can use it. This means you can code an ML model, develop a backend and design a front end all in one language. github.com/reactive-python/r…

Stop using only ChatGPT. I don't understand why people don't use Chrome AI extensions. Here are insane AI Chrome extensions to save hours of work:

Is it that we need more end to end tools like a plug-in to elastic search that “just works” out the box? Is it infra? Or is the marginal benefit smaller than I think it is? I know some companies are using it, it’s just not as widespread as I expected it to be by now.

A theory I have about product development is that you can totally do gradient descent all the time and build a really good product! The main reason teams that get stuck in a “local maxima” is that they believe that every change has to be a Pareto improvement.

A lot has been speculated about TikTok's recommendations. This is the first paper I've read by the team, and it has many interesting details: expirable embeddings, parameter server, online training... Good #recsys stuff arxiv.org/abs/2209.07663

Stumbled upon this neat flowchart for choosing text classification methods. I usually eye-balled it, but using a samples/number ratio cut-off seems reasonable. I.e., with a samples/number < 1500 use a bag-of-words model, with a >= 1500, use a seq. model (developers.google.com/machin…)

My editors just shared with me the feedback from early reviewers and I'm in tears 😭 With the help of so many people, I worked really hard on this book. I'm grateful that people gave it a chance. Read the book online: learning.oreilly.com/library… Pre-order: amazon.com/Designing-Machine…

I probably should have written this years ago, but here are some MLOps principles I think every ML platform (codebase, data management platform) should have: 1/n

I'm very happy to share our work on how we implemented semantic search / dense retrieval for better podcast search at Spotify: nitter.gq/SpotifyEng/status/1504…
Here’s the problem: you want to search for a podcast, but you can’t remember the name, only what it’s about.😖 Here comes Natural Search 🔍 to save the day! engineering.atspotify.com/in…

I had fun giving this talk in @chipro 's ML Systems Class @Stanford about a subject we don't talk about enough: 1. How to evaluate ML Tooling 2. How to spot & deal with 🔥Tool Zealots 🔥 We have recorded the full talk 👇 youtu.be/GHk5HMW4XMA Also a 🧵👇

ML Engineers love to say "matrix factorization for recs? What is this, 2014?" and then spend a few million dollars building something worse
