Good Local Posts
- Databand had a nice post on Apache Spark Monitoring, which would have been really useful for me when I was running Spark on EMR.
- Matt Turck published his overwhelming ML / AI / Data Landscape piece. I don't generally focus on the business side of things here, but I do think it's important to know what's happening in the space. This piece is incredibly dense: I'll probably go back to it 2-3 times to actually digest it all.
- Yann LeCun’s Deep Learning Course at NYU is available (h/t Data Elixir)
Miscellany
- Julia Evans wrote about exploring BGP after Facebook's big outage.
- This talk on NYC's hidden and abandoned subway stations seems fun!
