New York study group

Other topics:

  • what’s next for pytorch: making jit-compiled code faster than eager code
  • no plans for extensions to other languages (a la swift for TF)

(Beginners: not to worry you’ll be fluent in all this stuff in no time :slight_smile: )

Separate to the performance topics and probably somewhat less popular, I was interested to hear about was Apache Arrows. As I use (and love) pandas an awful lot, I wouldn’t mind hearing more on arrows.

Unfortunately, Monday night the space in Galvanize is taken by another group…
I can reserve it for either Tuesday 10/30 or Thursday 11/1 at 6:30PM …
Is there an easy way to conduct an online poll on your preferences?

Please post your reply as TUESDAY or THURSDAY…

I vote TUESDAY

Hi there! I can only make it Thursday.

I would rather meet on Thursday, so that we can all review the material of the lesson.

THURSDAY
Yeah having a meet after class sounds good

Either is fine for me.

Thursday sounds like a good idea.

Early polling indicated a preference for Thursday, yet many have not yet indicated a preference…
Will close the poll at midnight tonight…

I can make either but would prefer Thursday

Thursday won, 5-1…
Now RSVP for Thursday at 6:30.
Please add your full name (if not listed) as I need to leave a list of attendees for security…

Next, we need an agenda… What topics would the attendees want to cover on Thursday?

I am working to recruit another “surprise guest” …

Cheers,
G

I think it would be nice to spend some time talking about project ideas.

+1 for project ideas.
Would add:

  • show your work: everyone who’s done something has the option to talk about it
  • Questions about the lesson(s) ?

good ideas. can discuss any Kaggle competitions folks want to participate in.
