Could you elaborate a bit more on #2? What would be the implication of good/bad resource modeling.

saltedonion | 3 years ago | on: Breaking up with Flask and FastAPI: Why they don’t scale for ML model serving
Thank you for the response. Would this pattern be appropriate for something like ML inference if I’m looking for sub 200ms response time and the results objects are small? The polling interval would need to be very short, and would that become an issue?
saltedonion | 3 years ago | on: Breaking up with Flask and FastAPI: Why they don’t scale for ML model serving
Apologies for the noob question but how would FastAPI/Flask know that the job has been successfully completed? Would the worker have to persist ml inference results somewhere and the FastAPI server poll it periodically?

How are they going to address the problem of connection creep? (Over time the number of people you add to your friends network increase and cause context collapse)

What’s the point of building this in-house over using an existing solution? Is there some particular use case that a replicated SQLite is good at?
saltedonion | 4 years ago | on: Dislike button would improve Spotify's recommendations
“ Piki selects music from a database of roughly 5 million songs and incentivizes users by giving them $1 for every 25 songs they rate. The Piki interface plays a song, and then gives the listener the ability to rate it after different amounts of time. Specifically, the user can “dislike” the song after 3 seconds, “like” the song after 6 seconds and “superlike” it after 12 seconds.”
These people are training on a completely different set of features than what Spotify is using. For example, listen time is likely to be a important feature where a short time or a skip will be a pretty good proxy for a dislike.
In other words, the authors conclusions are conditioned on only using the features outlined in the article, like, dislike, and super like. And I’m not sure it will generalize for Spotify.

This sounds stupid but is indeed as troubling as the big brother

Cuz when u have as much market power as Apple, you don’t really have a choice in granting someone market access to your platform. A refusal is potential grounds for a antitrust case. Assuming ofcourse, epic stays within the lines of apple’s other rules which hasn’t been challenged in court.

I applaud you to join Facebook PR team. You might be the cure the internet needs where we gain the critical momentum for antitrust action.

The space for potential edge cases are so large it will be wack mole.
Inference tasks isn’t like software testing where the states are well defined.

I bet this had something to do with #AppleToo and the company didn’t want to fight 2 PR battles at once. My bet is this is just a delay tactic.

At ren tech’s kind of returns it’s literally cheaper to pay the interest and fine than to borrow from anyone else.

As a user of airflow I certainly wouldn’t mind. Also ran into quite a few bugs while using it. Thanks for your work! Amazing project.

Last time this was discussed here one of news reports mentioned internally executives pushed for this style of report to be released so they can massage the metrics how ever they like and own the narrative.
