Business model/plan(ing) for research heavy early stage ML startup
Hi everyone,Most information business planning aspects of tech startups applies to commercializing ideas that are closer to an MVP, are based on just engineering on top of some conventional science/technology or are reasonably close to execution.For a startup that is embarking on years of basic scientific research before we even have a prototype, how can they maintain focus in strategy and...
I think the former is planned before 1.0?
If the latter, what do you think is the issue? Do you not like julia packages are separated into interface/abstract implementation and then concrete packages that can then have submodules that call each other?
Seems more modular than working around a python inheritance mess.
What do you think about the foundational tech of numba itself?
Do you think it is any more of a black box than say Julia? Is there anything about it that would impede extension into a more stable, predictable and feature rich product?
BTW looks like Intel is doing some stuff with Julia: https://github.com/IntelLabs/ParallelAccelerator.jl
There has also been alot of recent funding to Continuum and dev of numba seems to be going strong. Also some recent work with AMD.
I'm looking at Numba and friends (Dynd, blaze) for a new stack, but I'm not sure where the development arc will end up vs say Julia. I'm also curious about the sustainability of Continuum's business model and practices in the medium and long term.
Any thoughts on this? I understand if you are limited in what you can say, but I'm open to any nuggets.
Also what do you think of Julia's native distributed capabilities and this library here: https://github.com/shashi/ComputeFramework.jl
