"Andreessen Horowitz (known as "a16z") is a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, California"
In case anyone was as confused as I was about what a16z means - it's just the company not a new abbreviated term related to AI.

i18n -> internationalization
l10n -> localization
g11n -> globalization
l12y -> localizability
a11y -> accessibility
It bothers me because my brain does not jump from the abbreviation to the underlying word. I really need to stop and think about each one. And I get the numbers wrong when writing them.
i18n -> I-one-eight-n -> iwonation
I was already a couple of rabbit holes deep at the time and didn't have the mental capacity to look it up and wrap my head around yet another new concept.
"Oh boy." I thought to myself, "One more word I've never heard of, probably representing some complicated CS concept."
I was so annoyed when I finally found out what was going on.
I'm having trouble parsing the grandparent comment...
Labelbox is the only one I know.
Martin and Matt are incredibly sharp on the trends in AI and have inspired our work at Labelbox immensely. I particularly like the discussion on getting the operations right for building and iterating with ML. Like software development, iterating quickly is key to building a performant model on real world data. The average iteration time for ML is 2-4 weeks in the industry right now. Comparing this to software development averages is stark. Getting the development and operations of ML right can greatly speed up iteration and improve the likelihood of getting to market with performant ML systems.
