Do you use separate #docker images for training and prod? - Train with @nvidia #GPU base image - Run model binaries in prod with a smaller image (doesn鈥檛 need GPU or #python dependencies for training) I want to avoid bugs from dependency differences 馃槙 #machine_learning #MLOps

Anyone else learning #azure #Kubernetes service and want a buddy? Or do you have experience with AKS (or kubernetes in general) and have the capacity to offer some sanity checks on my architecture and security decisions? 馃檹

I have so much respect for teachers! I'm trying my hand at teaching ML/DL. Got this feedback for my last session 馃樁 I'm anxious all weekend for 2hrs with 12 students. I can't imagine teaching larger classes multiple times a week. 馃憖 Any tips are appreciated!

Especially any tips for zoom sessions where you can't easily see if people look confused or bored
Does anyone else feel weird about giving someone a bouquet of flowers? Like, "Hey, I paid someone to cut these from their life source. Put them in water so you can watch them slowly die" ...

Advice I'd give my younger self: The best way to exceed your manager's expectations is to lower them. It's easy to underestimate the complexity of something we've never built before. Get external estimates for fair deadlines & voice your concerns early 馃尀

Lukewarm take of the week-end: if your app/library/... depends on something like Docker/Kubernetes/Python/Jupyter..., *do not* include instruction installations for the dependency. State explicitly what's required, and link to the upstream documentation. Why not? Let's see...

I don't think I have this one down yet. Any advice? PMs are welcome. I'll pass them on anonymously to @michellecohrene

Has anyone ever successfully improved communication with someone who has a habit of contradicting you by habit, before understanding what you are saying, especially a superior? Any advice? I don't think it is intentional but it's exhausting and demoralizing.

Who wants to join my club against using Foo and Bar as variable names? They're often unclear and replaceable with real-world examples. We'll call ourselves the Foo Fighters.

I understand the instinct to protect beginners from having to learn one more thing. But I really wish I had docker when I was first learning coding. I felt defeated so many times trying to run code from tutorials and having to resolve os & dependency issues.

This is mind blowing. With GPT-3, I built a layout generator where you just describe any layout you want, and it generates the JSX code for you. W H A T

Sometime. I just don't like words engineers pick. Googling "how to attach a detached HEAD" is not fun.
