- What are your main interests in software development?
- I have spent most of my time in rapid application development, I am now interested in databases, data exchange and Model Driven Architecture.
Tracking data so we get better outcomes for foster children, so a judge can see the likely outcomes for a given course of action.
Open source and commerce. Before the increase in wealth created by trading was marginal. I swap a banana for your dollar. I value the dollar more than the banana I gave you, you value the banana more than the dollar you gave me.
With open source code you keep your dollar and get the banana for free. From almost zero sum trade becomes additive. My banana and your apple means we both get an apple and a banana.
I hope open source code stops the great amount of custom interfacing of data that happens in large companies or institution.
I think we can improve the world and lives.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Wenjie Zi of Grammarly addressed the high failure rates in machine learning at QCon SF 2024, revealing challenges from misaligned business goals to poor data quality. She advocated for a "fail fast" approach and robust MLOps infrastructure, emphasizing that learning from failures can drive success. Clear objectives and rigorous practices are essential for effective implementation.

At QConSF 2024, Cody Yu presented how Anyscale’s Ray can more effectively handle scaling out batch inference. Some of the problems Ray can assist with include scaling large datasets (hundreds of GBs or more), ensuring reliability with spot and on-demand instances, managing multi-stage heterogeneous compute, and managing tradeoffs with cost and latency.
