For your reference, Apple's pages for Machine Learning for Developers and for their research. The Apple Neural Engine was custom designed to work better with their proprietary machine learning programs -- and they've been opening up access to developers by extending support / compatibility for TensorFlow and PyTorch. They've also got CoreML, CreateML, and various APIs they are making to allow more use of their... Source: about 1 year ago

We even host annual poster sessions of those PhD intern’s work while at our company, and it’ll give you an idea of the caliber of work. It may not be as great as Nvidia, Stryker, Waymo, or Tesla (which are not part of MAANG but I believe are far more ahead in CV), but it’s worth of considering. Source: about 1 year ago

They have something for ML: https://machinelearning.apple.com. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

They're more subtle about it, I think. https://machinelearning.apple.com/ Some of the papers are pretty good. I don't disagree with your sentiment in aggregate, though. Source: about 2 years ago

Siri is not where it needs to be because Apple refuses to mine user data to enrich it. They also are very hesitant to allow researchers to publish their breakthroughs which makes recruitment very hard. Although this is changing https://machinelearning.apple.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

I have a couple of these to add as well: VCVRack - simply one of the most mind-expanding things a synthesizer-nerd can play with. (https://vcvrack.com/) ZynthianOS - another example of a simple software solution to a problem nobody realized existed, opening the door to an absolutely astonishing array of Audio processing tools (https://zynthian.org/). - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

> It’s haven’t bought any Modular’s yet but I’m really looking forward to getting into other on the new year. http://cardinal.kx.studio https://vcvrack.com/ The former is libre and gratis, runs as a standalone or plugin and in the browser!! and is based on the latter. Ther former has a libre and gratis standalone version, the plugin version is non-gratis. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

A music synthesizer. It's a pathway to learning electronics, music, and the nature of sound. There are cheap kits, cheap synths, lots of kinds of synths, and there are much more complicated and expensive systems you can grow into. You can get software synths also, VCV Rack is a free though complex one: https://vcvrack.com/ However I'd recommend an inexpensive hardware one with real knobs you can turn, like one... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

What really opened my eyes was the Nord Micromodular; it taught me what I just described. It showed me how limited other synths were - but that limitation was a trade-off because it's much faster to make something on a fixed-structure synth than on a modular, in most cases. Nowadays, you can use https://vcvrack.com/ instead of a small limited box that needs Windows 98 to run the editor on. Source: about 1 year ago

Also I would suggest the paid version of VCV rack which works as a VST too ( the free version is just stand alone ) Expecially when experimenting with modular ( believe me, it can save you a fortune whilst you learn what different modules do ) I would also recommend Omri Cohens Youtube channel for learning this too.
