Viva PyTorch! (Jax rocks too)
PyTorch is the javascript of ML. sadly "worse is better" software has better survival characteristics even when there is consensus that technology X is theoretically better
Now it's been forever since I used PyTorch or TF, but I only remember TF 1.x being more like "why TF isn't this working." At some point I didn't blame myself, I blamed the tooling, which TF2 later admitted. It seemed like no matter how skilled I got with TF1, it'd always take much longer than developing with PyTorch, so I switched early.
... from the company that pioneered the approach with tensorflow. I've worked with worse ML frameworks, but they're by now pretty obscure; i cannot remember (and i am very happy about it) the last time i saw MXNet in the wild, for example. You'll still find Caffe on some embedded systems, but you can mostly sidestep it.

Nothing is even theoretically better than Javascript for its intended use cases, web frontends and backends. Mainly because it went all-in on event loop parallelism early-on, which isn't just for usability but also performance. And didn't go all-in on OOP unlike Java, and has easy imports/packages unlike Python. It has some quirks like the "0 trinity," but that doesn't really matter. No matter how good you are with s…
Typescript and Elm would like a word

You don't think its possible to (even theoretically) improve on javascript for its intended use case? What a terrific lack of imagination. Typescript and Elm would like a word
Also, generally when people complain that JS won the web, it's not because they prefer TS, it's cause they wanted to use something else and can't.
Never used Elm, but... no variables, kinda like Erlang, which I've used. That has its appeal, but you're not going to find a consensus that this is better for web.
Jax is dead, long live PyTorch. PyTorch has _twenty times_ as many users as Jax. Any rumors of its death are highly exaggerated
Downvoted. Hmmm. I’m a little tired so I don’t want to go into detail. However, I was a Perl programmer when Python was rising. So, needless to say, having a big lead doesn’t matter.
Please learn from history. A big lead means nothing.
This is such a hyperbolic headline it's hard to be interested in reading the actual article.

ive never even heard of jax nor will i have the skills to use it
i literally just want to know two things: 1) how much vram 2) how to run it on pytorch
