The presumption that this or Google's Tensor Flow can be cobbled together in a few hours is completely absurd. These things take months if not years of development. And releasing them into the wild is not a process that takes 30 minutes. Open Sourcing a company library is a work intensive process that takes weeks if not months. Beyond the code itself there are a swatch of promotional materials to prepare.
That said, I do agree that the submission itself to HN was in response to Google's Tensor Flow announcement. The submitter created their acct an hour ago and the only other activity is a comment on the google announcement talking about veles.
Also the submission title was unnecessarily snarky.
We changed the title from "Veles – same as TensorFlow, but from Samsung", which was inappropriately editorialized. Unless an original title is misleading or linkbait, submitters should use it.
eh, it's a topical post and let's others know there's more to this space than Google's offering. I don't mind it. Would you rather they have not posted?
Statment is wrong.
If you look on Github/Graphs is stated in the Header Apr 7, 2013 – Nov 10, 2015 and neural network module which is veles.znicz Apr 7, 2013 – Nov 10, 2015
