Apple Watch 3 9 years ago

You'll probably have to pay around $10 to add cellular for the watch, similar to how it works for the iPad plan.

I'm not buying one until Spotify has an app for it. I'm not switching to Apple Music just to get a watch.

This is the sense that I got. I am a one-person data science team for my startup, and I basically cobbled together most of the automation described in Michaelangelo over the course of a few months. Spinning off Spark ML jobs on EMR and saving metadata to a database.

Unless you have like 64 cores, I don't think you will be a GPU. And yes, you can use multiple GPUs in parallel to train.

It would probably be cheaper to just buy my own Xeon computers.

What does Xeon have to do with training? You need a fast GPU (or apparently TPU). The CPU is relatively unimportant. Furthermore, you can roll your own algorithms (i.e. architecture) in TensorFlow. You don't have to use "theirs".

Have you heard of Mochi?

"Mochi is a dynamically typed programming language for functional programming and actor-style programming. Its interpreter is written in Python3. The interpreter translates a program written in Mochi to Python3's AST / bytecode."

If all that can be done in Python 3, surely it could be ported to run on BEAM to good effect.

I wish someone would port Python to BEAM. I'm actually surprised there isn't a project out there, except some really old stale project called beam.py I found on github, which hasn't been worked on since 2010.

"20 newsgroups" is a pretty ubiquitous human-generated data set for testing LDA and other NLP techniques. I've run LDA on it myself and it recovers topics fairly well.

The thing is, reviews, messages, comments, etc, in general, do tend to revolve around some central topic(s). For example, this comment right now is about LDA. It's not totally random.
