Eh, pretty disappointing interview. It doesn’t tske a team to utilize gpu computing, it takes one person and I’ve done it. Also, you can’t complain about there being no strong-ai companies and then list accomplishments of strong-ai companies.

I personally don’t like the phrase data scientist but I get it and I get why it’s science as opposed to engineering. I personally like the split between machine learning, BI, and data engineering.

I think the contrast is between statisticians and physicists PhDs compiling GPU support... even some CS PhDs have a hard time with that... this is less important as time goes on since the engineers figure it out and make it readily available.

When I installed Theano, it was just `pip install theano`, and editing a couple of lines in a config file. Are other GPU libs (tensorflow, caffe, etc.) really that much more difficult?

pip install tensorflow-gpu

is all I do, once the dependancies are setup.
