- Kindly suggest some books about RL?
I've already studied a lot of deep learning.
Please confirm if these resoruces are good, or suggest yours:
Sutton et al. - Reinforcement Learning
Kevin Patrick Murphy - Reinforcement Learning, an overview https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.05265
Sebastian Raschka (upcoming book)
...
- Scaling is not over, there's no wall.

- > The YOLO series is developed and maintained by Ultralytics.
This is totally fake. There are a lot of different YOLO versions, each with a different licence.
This article is a total scam, it should be removed.

- Among the top 10 tech companies and beyond, they have the most successful open source program.
These projects come to my mind:
SAM segment anything.
PyTorch
LLama
...
Open source datacenters and server blueprints.
the following instead comes from grok.com
Meta’s open-source hall of fame (Nov 2025)
---------------------
Llama family (2 → 3.3) – 2023-2025 >500k total stars · powers ~80% of models on Hugging Face Single-handedly killed the closed frontier model monopoly
---------------------
PyTorch – 2017 85k+ stars · the #1 ML framework in research TensorFlow is basically dead in academia now
---------------------
React + React Native – 2013/2015 230k + 120k stars Still the de-facto UI standard for web & mobile
---------------------
FAISS – 2017 32k stars · used literally everywhere (even inside OpenAI) The vector similarity search library
---------------------
Segment Anything (SAM 1 & 2) – 2023-2024 55k stars Revolutionized image segmentation overnight
---------------------
Open Compute Project – 2011 Entire open-source datacenter designs (servers, racks, networking, power) Google, Microsoft, Apple, and basically the whole hyperscaler industry build on OCP blueprints
---------------------
Zstandard (zstd) – 2016 Faster than gzip · now in Linux kernel, NVIDIA drivers, Cloudflare, etc. The new compression king
---------------------
Buck2 – 2023 Rust build system, 3-5× faster than Buck1 Handles Meta’s insane monorepo without dying
---------------------
Prophet – 2017 · 20k stars Go-to time-series forecasting library for business
---------------------
Hydra – 2020 · 9k stars Config management that saved the sanity of ML researchers
---------------------
Docusaurus – 2017 · 55k stars Powers docs for React, Jest, Babel, etc.
---------------------
Velox – 2022 C++ query engine · backbone of next-gen Presto/Trino
---------------------
Sapling – 2023 Git replacement that actually works at 10M+ file scale
---------------------
Meta’s GitHub org is now >3 million stars total — more than Google + Microsoft + Amazon combined.
---------------------
Bottom line: if you’re using modern AI in 2025, there’s a ~90% chance you’re running on something Meta open-sourced for free.
- Do you really think that people understand the value of PyTorch?
They master PyTorch, yet they fail to deliver value to investors.
They're probably the only company which hasn't monetized its models. They suck so much that they don't even bother to serve them to you and to make you pay for them.
These companies for example are earning money in return for their investment:
MSFT (through openai)
AMZN (through anthropic)
X (through grok)
GOOGL (gemini etc)
they all have a paid model
META has no paid model, that is SAD.
- Gemini 2.5 PRO is already incredibly good in handwritten recognition. It makes maybe one small mistake every 3 pages.
It has completely changed the way I work, and it allows me to write math and text and then convert it with the Gemini app (or with a scanned PDF in the browser). You should really try it.
- LLAMA sucks, that's the problem. Do you see value in it?
Pytorch, used by everyone, yet no real value to stockholders, META even "fired" the creator of pytorch days ago.
SAM is great, what value does it bring to META business? Nobody knows about it. Great tool BTW.
JEPA is a failure (will it get better? I hope so.)
Did you read my list?
- LaTeX is a wonderful tool.
The only real complication comes from the multiple packages (a novice doesn't know what are the standards), and from the big installation, it's really frustrating, it is something from 40 years ago.
I use http://www.overleaf.com, which works nicely, although the size of each tex is limited by the compile time.
- Firefox addon do enable text select and right click.

- This kind of professor must disappear.
They always want to teach the more elegant and divine method that, in reality, nobody uses.
I studied Pascal and Fortran when they could have taught me more widely used languages. Shame on them.
If Fortran is so useful and clear, just offer some lessons on it. Surely students will be enlightened and captivated by it.
Forever grateful for this series anyway.
