Huge thanks to @IcubeUTM for letting me compete today. It was truly an awesome experience. Thanks to @VEInternational and @cpowerfitness I felt definitely prepared to pitch at University.

@_developit @hdjirdeh Awesome talk this morning. But I wanted to know your opinion on, for sites with a lower rate of change in dynamic content, SSR the site when content changes and storing it staticly for when a user needs it later on. Like prerendering but for dynamic content

@cpowerfitness Yea, I never really understood this. Open sourcing the algorithms wouldn't do much besides:
1) People will reverse engineer it and find loop holes to promote more hate speech
2) if it uses A.I. to classify, it would be a large file with numbers thus kinda
undecipherable

@cpowerfitness @AlanCao5 @LauraChabla @nuapps @miayylin @PercytheCre8tiv @SurojnieD 2015 sorry I mixed up their unveiled and their actual release year LOLL

[Derek Pastor @DerekJonPastor]

@cpowerfitness @LauraChabla @PercytheCre8tiv @jimcramer @MadMoneyOnCNBC @CNBCFastMoney Doubt it. Unless apple plans to support a specific console, the challenge of launching a successful gaming platform is a lot bigger than many realize. Chances are it's gonna only support IOS based games. So no mortal Kombat but more likely angry birds instead.

[Derek Pastor @DerekJonPastor]

@Movements404 @vicenteparmi @goatsandbacon @googledevs Yeah I found that too.

[Derek Pastor @DerekJonPastor]

@cpowerfitness @CitronResearch @FedPorn I agree, GPUs for a long time have been the primary resource to use when companies research AI and its advantages on their marketing. With something like TPUs becoming popular, cheaper and easier to use its wouldn't surprise me if $NVDA loses a portion of that market
