Very interesting project. Would be curious of a comparison with memgraph. Will definitely give it to try for my knowledge graph use case.

I'll add memgraph to our benchmarking list! Make sure you join our discord. would love to help in any way we can and hear about any issues you run in to

I've been working on BatchWizard, a CLI tool for managing OpenAI batch processing jobs. It lets you easily upload files, create batch jobs, check status, and download results - all from the command line. Handles multiple jobs concurrently with async processing. I built it to simplify working with OpenAI's batch APIs. Check it out on GitHub if you're interested: https://github.com/cmakafui/batchwizard

Rave.io is an alternative that really impressed me. With features like watching videos with friends on Gdrive

This looks more like a global chess match than anything else.

This looks like the USA is afraid of China's might, so what else should it do than to fight it's rise and development with all means possible (like it's already doing in the Middle East [1]). Or did you actually think this is all about "democracy", "free markets", "dictators" and the like? When the battle gets rough, big guns show up.

Or maybe this is retaliation for the billions Chinese companies have made off stolen American IP. Ever thought of that? To imply this is pure protectionism is over simplifying it.

Or maybe IP theft is retaliation for the opium wars.

It's silly to look at a centuries long geopolitical struggle for hegemony through the lens of fair play as though it's just a game among friends.

In which case this move against huawei is "just business".

It's their problem now to figure out how to develop top tier hardware and software without stealing it from American companies and rebranding it.

I thought the problem was that they had developed something better than what the US currently has, their 5G implementation, and that's what has the US worried.

I always thought that it was about 5G being a significant chunk of future telecom infrastructure (which impacts national defense) and they don't want to buy it from Chinese companies.

This goes beyond protectionism. It's more like mercantilism.

The EU is finally learning from the US when it comes making a lot of fanfare for discoveries and other inventions.

Too bad they don't present it well. I just see self congratulating politicians and officials on some youtube stream.

Telling that it's a US organization that hosts the actual picture.

esa.int and eso.org seem to be down actually.

The European broadcast presentation is not great.

The speakers are referencing images and diagrams that are not visible on screen.

The accomplishment speaks for itself. The delivery can be improved.

Both ESO and the NFS hosts the images, don't know what gave you any other impression.

And while the EC stream was pretty bad, at least they let you skip back in the stream and left it up after the presentation ended. The NFS stream wouldn't allow you to go back (useful if you joined late) while it was up.

Personally I liked the ALMA stream best, but it's down now :(

https://eventhorizontelescope.org/ is hosted in the US and the linked image links to a Harvard.edu web server.

Why is the European Commission doing this? When I recognized Carlos Moedas I immediately skipped to what mattered. The reason why he was ever appointed as Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation is, to me, more remote than the black hole about which he knows absolutely nothing.

because it's one Commissioner per member state, and apparently nationality is the most important criteria for appointing ministers

Well this was mostly a US-run effort. It's headed by Harvard University and the key South Pole Telescope is North American.

Is it just me or there are not many african americans working in AI research and industry. I don't have stats to back me up but that's my personal observation. People in the field, what are your thoughts on it.

This twitter may be of interest to you, they aggregate information on this topic. https://twitter.com/black_in_ai. I don't know why race is relevant to this article though. Must we make everything a race issue?

Thank you for this!!!

You're welcome!!!

There are just not many AA in tech in the bay area. Most pictures from Silicon Valley often look like that.

I thought a similar thing when I saw that pic: Not a single black male or female. And I'm all like, "Where am I?" LoL

I don't have any statistics for you, but Google at least is looking to improve on this a bit. A good friend of mine from their NYC Brain office moved to Accra, Ghana just last week to help build out their new office there.

I don't think an office in Ghana would be employing very many African Americans (or, for that matter, very many Americans of any background).

A Ghana office would be presumably to recruit Africans, not African Americans. There is a difference :)

Certainly there seem to be no black folks in the photo captioned "OpenAI team and their families at our November 2018 offsite."

African-American Founder/Research Engineer of AGI venture (Monad.ai) here. We exist.

An insightful interview to give perspective. http://www.se-radio.net/2017/07/se-radio-episode-298-moshe-v...

When i was a teaching assistant for a Microprocessors course(undergrad), I used SASM and the students really liked the low entry barrier. Combined it with masm for Assembly fundamentals.

Recommend it.

Quite interesting. It shows potential to be used in numerous use cases. Anyone know of similar projects in other languages like Python and Javascript?

(Full disclosure: co-founder of Datawire)

We released a microservices development kit (MDK) last week that includes similar semantics (e.g., circuit breakers, failover) that implements these semantics in Python, JavaScript, Java, and Ruby. The implementation is actually written in a DSL which we transpile into language native impls. We do this to insure interop between different languages. We're working on updating our compiler to support Go and C#, adding richer semantics, and making the service discovery piece pluggable (currently there's a dependency on our own service discovery).

https://github.com/datawire/mdk

We use re for Javascript, it works well: https://www.npmjs.com/package/re

Although, not feature parity with this project, Pybreaker[0] for the circuit breaker patterns in Python.

.Net has Polly https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly

We use `async-retry` which implements `node-retry` in a way that's friendly to usage with `Promise` and `async/await`.
