I’ve been thinking for years that someone needs to create a developer version of the Gartner Hype Cycle diagram, so I finally sat down and did one.

Thank you @BrainStation Vancouver for the opportunity to share my experience with the next cohort of students. It was a pleasure to pay it forward!

Amazing!! Deep Learning-based NLP techniques are going to revolutionize the way we write software. Here's Deep TabNine, a GPT-2 model trained on around 2 million files from GitHub. Details at https://t.co/8J2v8Ns7n4 #nlproc

Thank you @BrainStation Vancouver for putting on a great panel tonight. Especially @Lindy5280 ‘s strength of conviction and clarity of thought put this at a level way above many panels I’ve attended. Many notes were taken ;-)

And so it begins... The @BrainStation Vancouver Demo Day VIP Session starts in 15 minutes. This will be fun! 😋

Are you in Vancouver tomorrow afternoon? Come check out what it looks like when 21 people decide to take their career in their own hands!

I'll be showing off a price prediction model trained on 5000 MS Word documents. Clearly the beginning of SkyNet! ;-) https://t.co/dckjJGWtma

Looking at what you can do with deep learning today and thinking "let's scale this up to AGI" is basically the equivalent of watching a magic trick and thinking "wow magic is real! im gonna start a magic company that uses magic spells to generate infinite value"

The raw and powerfull talk by @PronouncedWin at #FullIndieSummit today absolutely blew me away! It started of really jokey and then all of a sudden ... you could hear a pin drop. Watch the video when it comes out!

Thank you so much @thisisvolition for the opportunity to test my message in a low pressure but realistic environment. Already signed up for the next one and thinking how to apply the feedback I got tonight!

[Startup Vancouver @Startup_YVR]

Our last three @thisisvolition #PitchNight presenters finish the night strong. Plenty of first time pitchers tonight stepping up and showing the courage to just go for it. Nicely done everyone!

"Nice library. Is one of these a trick book?"

"How so?

"Like you pull it off the shelf and a hidden door opens."

"Oh. Yeah, all of them."
