Does this do experiment tracking similar to MLflow? I’m trying to figure where these two overlap and where they diverge.

A subscription to safaribooksonline.com ($399/year) is my favorite way to spend part of my learning budget. Having access to the entire catalog of O’Reilly (and it’s affiliates) bo…

Basically just the ability to run on Linux.

Any chance of this being offered for on-prem install in the future? Looks interesting but cloud only makes it a no go for my team.

From my experiences (currently work with several Fortune 100 health insurers/benefits managers, and have previously worked for another large insurer, a major academic medical cente…

Having been privy to some of the contractual details of deals that Google has made with other medical centers, I’m betting that they probably got it for ”free”, as in they didn’t d…

Wasn’t that already possible via the rJava library?

That's actually a bit out of date. The nightly builds are now 0.7 (not sure I've seen this mentioned beyond Discourse/Github). It will primarily serve as a depreciation release, i.…

Zero incentive to move to SF. The cost of living has reached a point where I'd end up taking home less disposable income even with a significant increase over my current base salar…
