I’d doubt it’s even that complicated, a few if-statements would be enough.

How is £$165/year not nutty? That is more than I pay per year for Amazon Prime, Spotify, Disney+, MLB or The Economist. All for basically being able to just write text in a browser and store it.

Ah yes, can't wait for a 250 page book that should've been a blog post full of high-level content that you can easily find online, padded out with tenuously linked anecdotes.

And how does this company make money? Harvesting and selling all of my data?

I’ve been interested in making an open source version of the Seeing AI app (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/ai/seeing-ai) with a more limited scope. Contact me if this sounds inline with your ideas.

Can’t figure out a way to contact you from your About section —- I’m a ML engineer with an early interest in algorithmic trading, would be interested in brainstorming ideas.

I’m looking for collaborators for re-implementing “modern” machine learning and deep learning models/papers. Modern is in quotes as I’d actually like to focus less on the super recent, and more on those around ~5 years old, as the compute required is usually more feasible. As well as the implementation (which will be open sourced, well written and documented), I’d also like https://distill.pub/ style articles to go along with the implementations.
I’d also like to get into algorithmic trading, but this is something I’m at the very early stages of researching into.
If any of that sounds interesting, contact details are in my profile.

Nobody should feel alone at Christmas. If anyone needs someone to talk to, about anything at all, feel free to contact me. Details in my profile.

This looks great. Is it possible to get this as an RSS feed instead of an e-mail newsletter?

Here's a paper on how BERT (a large Transformer model trained using self-supervised learning) implicitly learns the traditional NLP pipeline: https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.05950

Is there actually a new PyTorch version? I can't seem to find anything about it online.

What niche libraries do you think PyTorch is lacking? Do you have some examples of ones that exist in Tensorflow with no PyTorch equivalent?

I very much enjoyed, and would recommend, White Noise and Mao II.
As for adjacent authors, I think I'd probably list: David Foster Wallace, Pynchon, Franzen and Roth.

The link to the .pdf seems to be broken though.
