- The Future of Not Working – As automation reduces the need for human labor, some Silicon Valley executives think a universal income will be the answer — and the beta test is happening in Kenya.
- ML-From-Scratch: Bare bones Python implementations of various Machine Learning models and algorithms. – Python implementations of various Machine Learning models and algorithms from scratch.
- Easily Create Complex Workflows With AWS Step Functions #lambda #aws – AWS Step Functions is a great tool to create sophisticated workflows and state machines for zero-infrastructure applications. There are still many areas which should be improved, but even in its current state AWS Step Functions can be used to solve real-world problems.
- qaz—A CLI tool for Templating & Managing stacks in AWS Cloudformation #aws – Qaz is a Fork of the Bora project by @pkazmierczak that aims to focus on simplifying the process of deploying infrastructure on AWS via Cloudformation by utilising the Go Templates Library and custom functions to generate diverse and configurable templates.
- How Technology Is Destroying Jobs – Automation is reducing the need for people in many jobs. Are we facing a future of stagnant income and worsening inequality?

- Hasura – Platform to build & deploy app backends with a Postgres BaaS & a Kubernetes PaaS – Platform to build & deploy app backends with a Postgres BaaS & a Kubernetes PaaS
- What if technology could help improve conversations online? #machinelearning #tensorflow – We are also open sourcing experiments, models, and research data to explore the strengths and weaknesses (e.g. potential unintended biases) of using machine learning as a tool for online discussion
- Google Cloud Platform is the first cloud provider to offer Intel Skylake #cloud – Skylake includes Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX-512), which make it ideal for scientific modeling, genomic research, 3D rendering, data analytics and engineering simulations. When compared to previous generations, Skylake’s AVX-512 doubles the floating-point performance for the heaviest calculations. In our own internal tests, it improved application performance by up to 30%.
- Inside Facebook’s AI Machine – The Applied Machine Learning group helps Facebook see, talk, and understand. It may even root out fake news.
