Google DeepMind Makes AI Training Platform Publicly Available – Bloomberg

DeepMind is putting the entire source code for its training environment — which it previously called Labyrinth and has now renamed as DeepMind Lab — on the open-source depository GitHub, the company said Monday. Anyone will be able to download the code and customize it to help train their own artificial intelligence systems. They will also be able to create new game levels for DeepMind Lab and upload these to GitHub.

Looking Again At Reactive Functional Programming

• Pallet Town: First Steps to Functional

Migrating from Swift 2.x to Swift 3

I have this very strong desire to rewrite this #swift in #ObjC … must not give in… #programming #iOSDev

• Swift.org – Migrating to Swift 2.3 or Swift 3 from Swift 2.2

• The pain

• The Why
• Syntax changes
• Standardized naming conventions
• Less “chatty” method names
• Losing return values at end of names
• Ie ‘myString.append(someString)’ V ‘myString.appendString(someString)’
• Native GCD
• Previously libdispatch from the Snow Leopard days was pure C, now native Swift
• https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0088-libdispatch-for-swift3.md
• What’s on the other side?
• Swift Packaged > Cocoapods & Carthage?
