Cool!
Agreed that PyTorch tutorials are a great place to start. Specific to flexattention, the blog references the accompanying attention gym, which has a series of examples of how to use flex: https://github.com/pytorch-labs/attention-gym/
I use to fly BOS <> SFO frequently.

One contributing factor is that the jetstream is stronger in winter months than summer months. Flights from BOS to SFO are up to 1 hour longer (heading into the jetstream) and 1 hour shorter from SFO to BOS (strong tailwinds).

In winter months, some airline's direct flights have to occasionally land and refuel mid-country[1]. I've experienced this first hand a couple times.

Quora’s mission is to share and grow the world’s knowledge. We are an internet-scale Library of Alexandria, a place where people go to learn about anything and share everything they know. At Quora, we use Machine Learning in almost every part of the product - feed ranking, answer ranking, search, topic and user recommendations, spam detection etc. Within the past few months we released a large duplicate question dataset [1], built out Quora on Alexa and Google Home [2] and linked Quora Topics to Wikidata [3]. As a Machine Learning expert, you will have a unique opportunity to have high impact by advancing these systems, as well as uncovering new opportunities to apply Machine Learning to the Quora product. As a ML Infrastructure Expert, you will play a key role in developing tools and abstractions that our other developers would build on top of.

Quora | San Francisco | ML Engineers

Quora's mission is to share and grow the world's knowledge. A vast amount of the knowledge that would be valuable to many people is currently only available to a few — either locked in people’s heads, or only accessible to select groups.

Quora is looking for ML engineers to help us reach our mission. My team focuses on ranking: the recommendation algorithms behind our read and answer pages. Check out our VP of engineering's recent talk at RecSys www.slideshare.net/xamat/recsys-2016-tutorial-lessons-learned-from-building-reallife-recommender-systems

we're a company of machine learning focused individuals interested in really opening access to knowledge. Interested? Apply online at www.quora.com/careers and mention my HN handle!

(python, c++, machine learning, recommendation engines :)
