Hey, this is Mike from Algorithmia. We'll have team members answer any questions you may have about machine learning infrastructure here. Feel free to ask.
Idea: If you made every government paycheck and contractor payment made with this currency it would be enough to become a standard of payment, and if you required taxes to be paid with it you'd always have demand.
If you talk to a sales person from any third party ad service and ask questions about what you can do with data—you'll find there is an entire market of buying and selling data from every cell company, credit card company, banks, corporate rewards cards, voting records and donations, etc.
If you use Algorithmia.com you can add your model in the language of your choice (on GPUs if you want) and it will do all of the Devops and give you an API end point. You get free credits at sign up and quite a few each month for testing.
Seattle — "infrastructure"
We build the infrastructure for the "start ups" in SF to use the "money" from NYC.
We began by selling mining equipment and travel to the SF startups that ventured to the Alaska Gold Rush.
We grew up building the airplanes and ships for the expanding US military (Boeing & Lockheed Shipbuilding).
We built the supply chains that run the global economy (Amazon, Costco, Expeditors Intl, UPS, Paccar)
We built the software infrastructure for the computer revolution (Microsoft).
We built the infrastructure for the cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, F5, etc.)
We built the infrastructure for video games (Nintendo, Steam, Xbox)
We're building the infrastructure for AI/ML (All the major players are setting up their AI/ML hubs in Seattle)
With the big guys you get a very productized API service. With the AI Marketplace we have thousands of algorithms that are constantly being improved and can easily be pipelined together. As more models are added from our data science / ML community you can easily upgrade your application by swapping out the APIs for the models.
Awesome. Thanks!
- In January we're going to start live webinars where users can ask questions and we can help with specific questions. We'll use those recordings to make some onboarding videos.
The second two are great ideas. I'm going to see if we can get them on the road map ~ Mike
If there's something that you need—please use the chat box to tell us what you need. We have engineers that are constantly helping devs get their algos dialed in. If you're doing 501c3 work you can probably ask for some bonus credits as well (we love helping good causes :) )
When you're working on a startup the hustle is real. Walking into work this morning and seeing that somebody added us here and that it hit the front page is a great way to start the day. Thanks y'all :)
As a thank you here's a code to get 30,000 credits on me to test out some of the algorithms. Here's the code: HNDec2017
Hurricane Katrina was estimated to have over $200 billion in losses—if that's true, it seems like there should be more investment in this type of infrastructure.
The Valley is the combined local governments, and the market is the companies and workers who both see value in staying in the area. The land is so expensive that if one locality raised the building restrictions, you'd see massive towers going up.
Yes, but it's the city council that makes the zoning rules, and it's the city council that also gives a comment that makes it sound like Google is keeping houses from people. If the city council allowed them to put up a 100 story tower, I bet they would.
The problem is that the Valley wants to stay suburban and the market is demanding that it become a city. Google could put a set of huge towers on this land with housing and office space and retail.
Sure from a "task" stand point, but take quality, reusability, unique approaches, business sense, etc. and the best devs add easily 10x value if not more. Right?
