Not having a model in stock one month after announcing it is not a huge deal though. Time to delivery of a Chevrolet Bolt in Canada was over 6 months after launch :/
I think the author makes a point but also misses (or voluntarily glosses over) important counter points.
1) Machine learning (which includes deep learning) still hasn't been applied to a lot of field that would draw benefits even from a basic CNN.
2) While AI/Smart branded crap is indeed all the rage right now (and part of the bubble imo), most of those are not learning algorithms and rely on cheap marketing tricks (looking at you Oracle).
Bottomline: lot of hype comes with empty promises and ultimately the people's dissatisfaction, but there is a real demand and need for applied machine learning in many fields.
Bureaucracy is a very real problem in many fields, but when we are talking about launching potentially untrackable satellite in space, having some form of oversight is probably good.
To anyone reading this who wants to try DBSCAN, give its more recent brother HDBSCAN a go. The H stands for hierarchical and it's way better when dealing with clusters that aren't very similar (think big vs small).
There's an excellent pip package that seamlessly integrates woth scikit-learn too!
People have wildly different views on what Github stars are. Some see it as a way to bookmark project you find interesting while other simply stars whenever they feel like the project is impressive.
Bottomline is: it's not a good metric, it's simply a way to see how "popular" something is and how likely it is that some random developer saw your project.
While anecdotal, I've starred Vue because I see it as a cool project and I've starred React as another cool project. In both case, I did toy projects with the frameworks and never used it in production. On the other hand, apache/httpd I did a lot of projects with and I did not give it a star yet.
In my opinion stars are not endorsement, they're a questionable way to measure how likely it is that your coworker have heard of a given project.
This is a gross overestimate of how far behind AMD is in single core performance. We're talking a few lost frames per second in games not some crazy sun vs oracle stuff.
